Goings On

This is piece was created by taking apart an old dressing table which we then painted and wallpapered. Now it could be used as a bedside locker or even in your sitting room . Below is a photograph not of the actual dressing table used but the exact same style. We love finding new ways of recreating pieces to give them new lease of life. :)

Pre-loved

This chest of drawers and accompanying headboard were handmade in the 60's in America and were later lovingly brought to Ireland by the previous owner. This is a very special piece with beautiful details like the signature in the inside of the dovetailed drawers and the stamp 9SG-012-3 114 printed on the back of the chest.
