Finally, after a few weeks break I'm taking advantage of the sunshine and getting some much needed sanding done on this barley twist gate-leg table.

These Windsor kitchen chairs had been badly gnawed by naughty puppies when I got them. I repaired, sanded, undercoated and painted them in Farrow and Ball Oval Room Blue (the colour was voted for by my Instagram followers). This week they went to live with a very nice lady.

Channelled my inner Adam Ant to create this military inspired wardrobe. Painted in Midnight Blue and Fort York Red, trimmed in Annie Sloan gold wax and brass hardware to mimic button and catch like frogging. Finished in General Finishes Satin Topcoat to give it protection and a sheen. Available now.

Working from home? Home schooling? Need somewhere other than the kitchen table? This compact desk is small enough to sit in that small unused space, big enough to not feel cramped and looks stylish and contemporary when it's not being used. https://www.theupwardco.co.uk/shop/p/5g6ezszmzt4pq23hotro0an595ho0g

The label from the back of a drawer from a cabinet I'm working on tells me it was made in Hay Mills in Birmingham (fairly local to me) by a company active from 1920-1932. They were instrumental in stopping sweatshops and introduced the 8hr week and ended up being part of The Co-Operative Group. Love finding out the heritage of the pieces I work on.

This chest of drawers was made in Britain in 1960 and has a feminine vibe with its curves and original handles so I've gone with it! Painted in Farrow and Ball Ammonite and finished with a floral design with butterflies. The drawers have been lined with pink and gold marble wallpaper too to make her beautiful inside and out.
