This beautiful Art Deco hexagonal occasional table presented a restoration challenge that had me scratching my head for a while. A prominent bleached mark had developed on the surface, and despite trying several proven restoration techniques, the blemish stubbornly remained.

Furniture restoration is rarely a one-size-fits-all process. Even with experience, every piece has its own story and occasionally requires a degree of investigation and experimentation. In this case, it came down to one final technique which, fortunately, achieved the result I was after, eliminating the damage that threatened to overshadow it.

A beautiful Victorian jewellery box, sadly opened with a little too much enthusiasm, resulting in a fractured frame and lifted veneer. Fortunately, all of the original pieces were preserved, allowing me to carefully repair and restore it so it can be treasured and enjoyed once again.

I’ve just finished restoring a beautiful 1930s chest of drawers, and this one was a real labour of love.

The front features stunning marquetry, and while it would originally have had a mirror (sadly long gone, leaving two cut-outs on the top), the piece still had incredible character worth saving.

Structurally, it needed new drawer runners, guides, and stops—but the most satisfying part was repairing the damaged front corners. The veneer and underlying timber were in a bad way, so bringing those back to life took time, patience, and a bit of problem-solving… exactly the kind of challenge I enjoy most.

I’ve focused the photos on those repairs so you can see the transformation.

If you have a special piece tucked away that needs some TLC, I’d love to help bring it back to life—feel free to message me.

I’ve just finished restoring an exceptional Art Deco drinks cabinet, and it was incredibly rewarding. The deep walnut has been brought back to life and beautifully offset with subtle black accents. The drop-front leaf locks securely, and when opened, the entire top lifts in unison to reveal five gleaming mirrored surfaces—an absolutely show-stopping feature. PM if interested.

So happy to finally share these beautiful Art Deco bedside tables! They began life as a worn dressing table, and after a lot of love they’ve become two practical, character-filled pieces. Each table has three roomy drawers and a glass top to protect the walnut wood from your morning brew.
Available now—message me or find them on Marketplace.

Good evening all. Ive just purchased this Art Deco dresser. It's looking a little tired and missing the mirror. Tune in next week to see it transformed into two bedside cabinets.

Restored with complete respect for its age and character.
Subtle repairs were made using genuine antique oak, preserving the cabinet’s integrity. The patina has been carefully maintained while an old water mark was gently lifted, allowing the piece to shine without losing its history.

Sometimes the best projects start with something that looks beyond saving.

Seb from Bloke with a Ute kindly gave me a free sideboard — a tired old Art Deco piece with its veneer falling off and not much going for it at first glance. But I could see a spark of potential.

After a complete transformation, it’s now unrecognisable — reborn into something truly special.

I’m so grateful for the generosity that brought it to me and proud to have saved a piece that will outlive us all.
