✨ A little restoration journey... ✨

They're not quite finished yet, but I wanted to share the transformation so far.

When this oak chest of drawers arrived at the studio, years of wear and an old dark finish had hidden much of its character.

As I've carefully stripped, cleaned and restored it, beautiful oak grain has begun to emerge, along with details that simply couldn't be appreciated before.

I've chosen to keep this piece natural rather than paint it, allowing the timber to tell its own story.

The original Art Deco handles have been cleaned and will be going back on, and there's still a little more work to do before the final reveal.

Sometimes the best transformations aren't about changing a piece completely – they're about uncovering the beauty that was there all along.

What do you think so far? Would you have painted it or kept it natural? 🤎

✨ Tuscan Sunset Console Bookcase ✨

Inspired by the warm colours, rolling hills and majestic cypress trees of Tuscany, this one-of-a-kind piece captures the feeling of watching the sun slowly set over the Italian countryside.

Sometimes a piece tells you exactly what it wants to become.

This little bookcase started life as a simple piece of furniture, but I had a vision of rich walnut wood, warm terracotta tones and a breathtaking landscape that would transport you somewhere beautiful.

Hand-painted in Fusion Mineral Paint's Everett, with beautifully refinished walnut tops and shelves, the real star is the stunning mural which creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. The terracotta tiled surface adds warmth and Mediterranean character, making this piece feel more like art than furniture.

Styled with a few favourite treasures, I can imagine it in a cosy reading nook, a coffee station, a hallway or simply as a statement piece in a beautiful home.

Every piece I create is lovingly restored and thoughtfully designed to tell a story and bring joy for years to come.

✨ Available for reservation.

If you've fallen in love with this piece and would like to make it yours, please send me a message.

I'd love to know where you would put this piece in your home ❤️

✨ FROM TIRED TO TREASURED ✨

This kitchen dresser is the latest piece I've had the pleasure of transforming for Chris & Rob, who have trusted me with several pieces of furniture over the years.

What started as a functional piece became a true focal point for their kitchen.

Together we explored colours, finishes and design ideas before settling on a beautiful combination of Fusion Mineral Paint's Champness blue with a lighter interior to brighten and showcase the glazed section.

Along the way, I also replaced the shelf supports, fitted new magnetic catches and updated the k***s to ensure the piece not only looked beautiful but functioned beautifully too.

Every transformation is a journey. Sometimes it takes more preparation than expected, sometimes there are hidden repairs and adjustments along the way, but that's what goes into creating a finish that lasts and a piece that feels truly special.

Receiving this review from Chris & Rob made my day:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Deborah has worked on several pieces of furniture for us and does a wonderful job. She is very professional in her work and discusses with clients in detail what they would like. She advises on design without imposing her views. The most recent project she worked on for us is a dresser which she transformed beautifully and created a special piece of furniture. We highly recommend her work."

Thank you, Chris & Rob, for your continued trust and support. It means the world to this small business. ❤️

If you have a piece of furniture you'd love to keep but would like transformed to suit your home, I'd love to help.

✨ From overlooked to unforgettable ✨

This little piece arrived in its original honey finish, but I had a completely different vision...

Inspired by the rolling hills of Tuscany, warm terracotta tones and towering cypress trees, I'm transforming it into a statement piece that feels more like art than furniture.

So far: 🤎 Walnut stained shelving 🤎 Original terracotta tiles staying 🤎 A bespoke landscape mural ready to be installed 🤎 An earthy olive and taupe colour palette chosen

I love this stage of the process, where a piece starts to reveal what it wants to become.

What do you think of the direction so far?

🇮🇹 Tuscany-inspired dream ❤️ Keep it simple

✨ A New Vision Taking Shape... ✨

When I first spotted this piece, I could see its potential, even if it wasn't immediately obvious.

Rather than another painted furniture makeover, I wanted to create something that feels like a piece of art — something that transports you somewhere else every time you look at it.

Swipe to see the before and the concept I'm working towards...

🌿 Rich walnut stained shelving🌿 Warm terracotta tiles🌿 Soft olive and taupe tones🌿 A stunning Tuscan-inspired landscape mural

The aim is to create a piece that feels calm, earthy and atmospheric, inspired by rolling hills, cypress trees and sun-drenched Italian landscapes.

I absolutely love sharing the creative journey with you and I'd love to know...

Would this have a place in your home? 🏡

✨ A little bit of history, lovingly revived... ✨

This beautiful antique corner cupboard came to my studio.

Rather than painting it, the decision was made to celebrate what was already there. After a careful clean, gentle repairs, colour restoration and a nourishing wax finish, the rich tones and character that had been hidden beneath years of wear have come back to life. Every mark, grain pattern and subtle imperfection tells part of its story.

I absolutely love pieces like this. They remind us that not everything needs to be replaced.

Sometimes all that's needed is a little TLC and an appreciation for the craftsmanship that has allowed a piece to survive for generations.

This charming cupboard is now ready to begin its next chapter in my lovely client's bathroom, where it will bring warmth, character and practical storage to the space.

I can't wait to see it installed and being enjoyed for many more years to come. 🤎

❤️ A Fresh New Chapter for a Family Treasure ❤️

When Pauline contacted me about her dining table and chairs, she wasn't looking for new furniture.

She was looking for a way to keep a piece of her family history.

This beautiful dining set belonged to her late parents and has been part of her life for over 50 years. Although it had been refinished around 10 years ago, the finish no longer suited her home and the set was ready for a fresh new chapter.

The oak top was carefully stripped back and refinished to create a softer, warmer natural wood tone, while the table base and chairs were professionally refinished in a soft warm white.

The transformation isn't just about how it looks – it's about preserving memories, honouring the past and creating something that can be enjoyed for many more years to come.

One of the greatest compliments I can receive is a happy client, and Pauline's review brought a huge smile to my face:

"How lucky was I to find Flippin' Sixpence online... I'm absolutely thrilled with how it looks and can't thank her enough."

Thank you, Pauline, for trusting me with such a special piece ❤️

If you have a piece of furniture that holds memories but no longer suits your home, I'd love to help you give it a fresh new chapter.
