New abstract pieces just went live in the shop, and I need your help choosing. I've been creating in the studio with flowing colour, movement, depth. Some feel coastal, some feel warm and energetic, some are softer and more contemplative. They're designed to sit alongside furniture, but honestly they work beautifully on their own too. Living room wall? Office inspiration? Even a guest bedroom that needs some soul. I'd love to know which ones are calling to you. Head over to the artwork section and tell me which pieces you'd wake up happy to see. That feedback shapes what I create next.

✨ What’s in my workshop? ✨

These beautiful vintage drawers are waiting for their transformation, and I’m imagining a striking horse-inspired design across the front.

I’ve always loved horses and dreamed of having one when I was a child, so this piece may be a little difficult to part with once it’s finished! 🤎

Now I need your help choosing the decoupage paper…

🐴 Option 1 — bold, colourful and full of personality
🤍 Option 2 — soft, elegant and timeless

Which would you choose for this piece—**1 or 2?**

Here's what most people don't see. While a piece is transforming, I'm testing colours, sourcing the right hardware, deciding on finishes. Every tiny choice matters. A brass k**b instead of steel changes the whole feeling. A matte navy instead of glossy sits differently in a room. This is where my background in fashion design sneaks in, same eye for detail and proportion, just applied to furniture now.
What catches your eye first when you walk into a room: the big statement or the details that finish it?

Found this cabinet at an antique shop a while back, dull, unloved, totally forgettable. Sometimes I walk past pieces like this and see what they could be. A fresh navy base, new hardware, some wash on that oak frame. Three weeks of work later, it's now a statement piece ready for that guys bedroom. That's the moment I live for. Not the trendy look, but the realisation that something old just needed a bit of intention. Do you have any forgotten pieces at home waiting for that same treatment?

✨ Every transformation begins with a vision…

This elegant table is one of the pieces currently taking shape in my workshop.

I’ve chosen the rich, moody shade Apothecary for the frame, paired with flowing abstract panels in soft pinks, plum and touches of gold. Gold gilding along the curved edge is bringing everything together and adding just the right amount of glamour.

There are still drawers and finishing details to complete, and the design may continue to evolve as I work—that’s one of my favourite parts of the creative process.

Which detail are you most excited to see finished—the abstract panels, the gold gilding or the complete transformation? ✨
