How amazing is this drinks cabinet created by Blu Avery?!
Due to damage caused in transit, it was in need of repairs so was my pleasure to head over to the new owners to restore the legs.
They are now stronger than ever and looking spectacular in pride of place.
Love being able to support fellow furniture artists ❤️

Last commission of the year has just gone back home 💃
Absolutely love the story behind this one! Kristina’s mum, had asked for a bike 54 years ago and instead for father gave her this bureau. She was less than impressed at the time HOWEVER her father had the right idea as she has kept hold of it for all these years!
Thanks to years of being hidden in her garage it came to me in need of a LOT of tlc. Many repairs laters and with the brief: deep purple, metallics and McIntosh inspired design...
it’s now ready to go back home and have many more years of enjoyment ahead!
A pleasure to do this one for Kristina and her mum

Nope it’s not furniture but it’s special ladies that painting furniture brought in to my world!
Had a hilarious time opening our secret santa pressies this weekend. Was so good to see my furniture besties and yes we are all a little crazy 😝
Who can you spot? Would love to know who furniture brought in to your life that you would have never crossed paths with otherwise??

Prep work underway for my latest commission.
Quite a bit of repair work to do before I can start redesigning this gorgeous bureau but it will be worth it.
She will be dressed in twilight geranium and a custom mix of metallics for its design
Love the family history behind this piece so it’s a pleasure to do it justice!

Look what just landed...another Nathan 😉
This one isn’t spoken for yet so if you’d like me to create the perfect design for you, now’s your chance! Plus a couple of pics of the latest ones I did for inspiration.
Special thanks to Zoe from Morton Shaw Interiors and Georgina from Gracie's Attic Bespoke Painted Furniture for collecting this beauty for me 😘

It is with a heavy heart that I have to say, for now at least, I will no longer be stocking Redesign with Prima or any paint brands.
Covid has been tough for many small businesses, so unfortunately this side of my business can no longer continue.
I have loved every minute of being a stockist so this is not a decision I have taken lightly. Absolutely everything has been discounted on my website at a whopping 25% off (paints, transfers, moulds, waxes, stencils) so grab a bargain while you can!!! www.taylormadewithlove.co.uk/shop
However, it's certainly not all doom and gloom! I will be focusing on my furniture designs which means you can expect to be seeing a heck of a lot more of me doing what I love the most, including my rebranding coming very soon.
A huge thank you to all my customers for your continued support, here's to new beginnings in 2021.
Much love, Claire xx

Let me introduce this handsome guy! Hand painted in a modern union jack design, this Stag Tallboy oozes charm and sophistication.
With splashes of bold red metallics, distressed iconic lines and luxurious real leather handles, he's a bold design statement for any room and for any age.
It's the perfect piece to add that extra masculine design element to your home whilst providing lots of storage.
Available for nationwide delivery and can be with you before Christmas!
Matching items available for commission too if you would like to have a complete bedroom set.

Well he certainly didn’t hang around long!
Off to his new home tomorrow but he won’t be travelling far, he’s moving in the lovely Sandra and her husband who happen to live in the same village as me yet we had never met before!

Argh I’ve just discovered my website is having a wobble. Fingers crossed I will be able to fix it this afternoon so bare with me folks and if you need any supplies urgently drop me a message.
I have a sneaky suspicion that my naughty kittens have been dancing on my laptop after they were done destroying my Christmas tree last night 🙈🎄
