Upcycle
Got something a little tired or well-loved that needs some magic? Whether it is a cherished heirloom, an online find or just a favourite piece you can't part with, we're here to give it a new lease of life.
Just send us a few photos, your ideas (or let us help you dream something up!) and we'll do the rest - no sanding or hassle needed. We’ll give you a clear time frame, a transparent quote and keep you updated as your item is transformed.
Take a look at our Before & After section to see the kind of transformations we’ve worked on.
Create
Have an idea for something wonderfully unique? We love a challenge. From unicorns and tractors to penguins, whales, and vintage camera vans - we’ve brought all sorts of requests to life.
Tell us the theme, subject or style and we’ll hand-cut, paint and personalise your piece with care and flair. We have a huge collection of antique mirrors, frames and furniture in all shapes and sizes to help your vision come to life. But if we don’t quite have what you're after, we’ll source it just for you.
We'll keep you briefed with regular pictures along the way, and our our pricing is simple: the cost of materials plus an agreed hourly rate - or we can quote for the job as a whole.
Our background...
