General Finishes

This housed a old broken record player or turntable with cupboard for LP records underneath. The cabinet had beautifull detailing and was in sound condition so I stripped out the stereo/ electrical system and Upcycled it into a lovely little cupboard in quite strong funky colours 

This was a plain pine kist or trunk which I Upcycled into a cute Toybox for a little lady, I used GF Little Pink( please bring this colour back)  teamed with Antique White on the frame, sourced medium firmness foam and upholstered in pretty pink patchwork material. The pleased young lady models it perfectly.

Old dark brown wood vintage bedside cabinet redone using GF products into a cute bathroom cabinet for storage

Antique White and Corinth Blue create the stripey finish 

Old vintage telephone table reworked as a Lego station. Hole cut in the top table part for basket o to drop in to store  odd Lego pieces and deep drawer ideal for all other Lego bits. Lego build pad fixed to the base part and surrounded by beading, Lego on knobs etc. Very modern revamp for a  old dated  piece of furniture 

Sets of pine drawers revamped in Antique White and  hand stencilling of pink roses and stalks etc, I used a mix of stencilling and decoupage to choice this look, this was for a vintage embed bedroom which was all floral and chintzy 

Drawers, bedsides  and wardrobe  Upcycled in strong colours  and Corinth Blue with funky polka dot handles. This was a fun set to do .

Boring pine set of drawers Upcycled in GF Linen and then pretty floral napkins used to create the look on the drawers, all sealed with a light varnish to fix 

Pine four drawer set with bedside Upcycled in Seagull Grey and Hand stencilled roses on in Antique White, beautifull set 

Two sets of Vintage  drawers Upcycled in GF Milk Paint Halcyon Blue with Marvel superheroes decoupage for a wee boys room who was daft on Marvel Comic characters 

very individual bespoke finish 

A normal boring set of drawers Upcycled using Marvel superheroes wall paper decoupage, sealed with varnish and frame in GF Milk Paint Queenstown Grey  , such a fun unique set 

This was left to a lady by her grandmother and had great sentimental value.it was very old.  However is had a heavy dark stain and smelt very strongly of tobacco etc as has been in a smoking household. I stripped this back and mixed GF Driftwood with one part Seagull Grey to create this really beautifull Grey colour which really made this piece sing again. 

The lady lies it and it is now used daily. 

Pine desk, I wanted this in a masculine finish so used GF Milk paint shades of Greys,  upcycled  a old vintage kitchen chair in tartan to go with it and sanded the top natural as a desk naturally will get a lot of use and this would prevent wear and tear on it.

Bought this Edwardian dresser at auction, it was very old and had seen a lot of use, there was water stains and burns on the top and it really needed some tlc. I loved the barley twist legs and mirror etc so I could see it could look amazing with the help of GF Milk paint in Linen.

This was a very old dark stained court cupboard, I find these all the time at auctions and thrift shops as people seem put off by the old fashioned stain, finish. I however can see past that and know GF Milk paint can transform the darkest of pieces. I sanded the top natural which took forever, it smelt like tobacco in the stain, awful, then it was given a light sand/clean and GF Seagull Grey used on the frame, absolutely love how this came up and it is now loved and used again in my cousins house. This was destined to be unloved and is now revitalised and in daily use 

Bought a pine 3ft bed at a charity shop but it was broken along the base with some struts missing, rather than use as a bed I had the idea to make a bed bench as the wood was good, the side rails were ideal for supports across the front and the head and footboard ideal for the back and sides, I added ball finials and painted it with GF MIlk paint in Seagull Grey, added carved hearts etc, very solid sturdy piece, I've made a few now and my customers love them, easier to make and source than church pews which are not easy to find in the UK
