Furniture & Accessories For Sale
My name is Karen and my business is upcycling and repurposing pre-loved items, creating objects that are pleasing to the eye and heart. I particularly love the lines of older furniture and hate to see these pieces wasted. My challenge is to 'pretty up' these old and tired items to create something that will fit in with modern décor and lifestyles.
On offer is a mixture of French Country, one off whimsical pieces, natural wood and colorful modern pieces. I work on large and small items using a range of paints, waxes, and other finishes when upcycling my items (Mineral – Enamel – Chalk paints | matt, low sheen & gloss) from a variety of provides all sourced internationally and from within NZ.
What you can be sure of is that each item is a unique creation.
You can view my creations online (click on the 'Furniture' and 'Accessories' tabs). Alternatively text or email me if you would like to view these creations up close:
