Our Signature Service
We specialise in upcycling and reimagining old or tired furniture – transforming it into the statement piece in your room or garden.
We work with anything from garden benches to beside tables, choosing a style of décor that’s unique to you and your living space.
We prefer hand-painting and work with environmentally friendly materials that are safe for the home.
How does it work?
Send Sue a photo of your piece of furniture and which room it will be in so she can see match your colour scheme and décor.
Sue will put a few ideas together and then work with you to bring it to life.
Chinoiserie
"I commissioned Sue to upgrade my tired bedroom furniture: two bedside tables, a dressing table, a console and a narrow chest of drawers. Sue was a good listener and turned my brief into vision, which she executed perfectly. The result was stunning and unique and very ME, while maintaining a perfect balance as it's still a bedroom that I share with my husband. I am glad I went down that path with Sue and gave my well loved furniture a second life." Shirley Johnson
The Visible Chair
"I bought this Chinese Yoke Back Chair nearly a year ago with the intention of using it for my Visible photo essay series, but it was too big to lug around Hong Kong without assistance. Over the year I’ve fallen in love with it, but it doesn’t go with our contemporary design. So I decided to have it made into a statement art piece. I shared the peacock concept with the talented Sue Whitney as I’ve seen some of her furniture work before and knew she was the right person. Beyond the concept I said just do your thing. Today we received the painted chair and it is everything I had hoped for. Just perfect. And I think I’ll bring the Visible ladies to my home studio for the portrait series. Inspired! Thank you Sue! You are so talented and we love it!" Jill Carter.
Circuit Board Filing Cabinets
"With online schooling well under way I needed a couple of filing cabinets for my son’s study area in his bedroom. He had a big black desk made from recycled material so I was looking for something that would fit in with this and the general "industrial style computer geek" look of his bedroom. I found two second hand cabinets, one silver metal and the other a tired wood effect one. Quite ugly in their current state! I was planning on just painting them but then Sue took one look at them and said, "leave it with me". I was so impressed with what she came up with, not only her creativity in capturing exactly what my son was looking, but with the quality of her work. She turned two very boring, utilitarian pieces of old office furniture into two very stylish, contemporary pieces that totally compliment his bedroom. Brilliant!" Sarah Wilson.
Common questions
What materials do you use?
It will all depend on the look you want to achieve! For a hand-painted effect, we
use the environmentally conscious Fusion Mineral Paint, with a water-based top
coat for protection.
How long does it take?
This will depend on the size of the piece of furniture and its condition. We will
give you more of an idea once we see a photo and put together a plan for what you
want to achieve.
What do you charge?
Pricing will again depend on the size of the furniture, its condition and the materials we choose. Every piece is tailor made to you. Feel free to browse our collection of previous work for inspiration.
Do you pick up and deliver?
We will make arrangements for pick-up and delivery, at your own cost.
