Transform Tired Furniture Into Stunning Statement Pieces

Working from my studio in Devon, I transform quality vintage furniture into stunning, personalised pieces that perfectly match your unique style - quickly, professionally, and affordably.

So, you've got dated, brown furniture you can’t bear to part with but don’t love?

Your vintage furniture is worth more than a dusty corner of a garage! It has a history and could be part of your story.

My bespoke furniture painting service helps you work out how to update it, keeping the memories (if those are important) but losing the dated look.

We'll work together to give it a new lease of life with a stunning hand-painted makeover.

My Customers' Stories

"Julia literally brought our side unit back to life! She is a miracle worker.

We were thinking about getting rid of this piece of furniture as it didn't work with our new extension.

Julia worked with me to come up with different ideas and the result is just PERFECT.

We are so happy with the result. I would highly recommend Julia as she really cares about the furniture she is working with and her customer service is fantastic!"

Julia has done a fantastic job in giving this item a new lease of life. She is a pleasure to interact with and her knowledge and advice was invaluable. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to revamp an item of furniture"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ursula P - Google review

"Julia was absolutely brilliant from start to finish.
I had a very old chest of drawers that I wanted giving a new lease of life. Julia came to my home saw the bedroom and my colour schemes and together we came up with a plan.
She worked hard to meet my expectations and certainly did that. I am delighted with the finished result 👏🏻👏🏻
Would highly recommend if you are looking for up cycling."

FAQ's

How much does it cost?

Every piece is different. Most projects start from £85, much less than buying new, and you get exactly what you want. I’ll create a written estimate for you after seeing your furniture.

Could I just do this myself?

Of course!

But professional prep, paint choice, and finishing make the difference between lasting years vs chipping in months.

Plus no mess in your house!

How long will it take?

On average, 2–4 weeks from collection to delivery depending on the size and finish.

Do you collect and deliver?

Yes, around the Exeter area. Collection further afield outside Devon can be arranged – just ask.

Will the paint actually last?

Absolutely! I use professional furniture paints and products designed for durability, with a finish chosen for your lifestyle

What if I don't like the colour?

We'll chat through options first and I'll send progress photos. It hasn't happened yet, but if it did, we'd deal with it

Is it worth it vs buying new?

Quality older furniture is built to last, unlike most modern stuff.

What if my furniture needs repairs

I take care of minor fixes like filling, loose joints or new handles
