Hand-painted furniture
If you want to give a new lease of life to a favourite pine dresser, table or chairs, I can hand-paint them in a durable satin / egshell finish, in any colour you like, with a traditional or modern paint.
Likewise, if you want to revive an oak cabinet, or brighten up laminate wardrobes or cupboards that have seen better days, they too can be painted to suit – and to last.
The hand-painted route is a simple (and “green”) option and is a neat final touch to any room.

Features of our hand-painted furniture »
All furniture is hand painted, NOT sprayed, by a master craftsman committed to the traditional ways. To ensure a durable finish, we use a high specification primer, a basecoat and 2 coats of oil paint sanded between coats.
The colours are chosen by colour advisor, Ingrid
Also, you can pick up some very reasonably priced and well-built second hand pieces of furniture, which we can hand-finish for you. Mirror and picture frames can be colour coordinated too…
We have a reliable courier for all out-of-town situations, so please ask for details.

Hand finish v spray »
I have taken a close look at factory produced “painted” furniture from many of the upmarket stores, and to my eye, they look quite artificial. This, I think is due to the sprayed finish. There is nothing wrong with their technique, but, as an olde worlde painter, the plastic finish doesn’t really strike me as traditional paintwork, and is definitely a move towards the trend in the American market, where only “perfect” and dare I say, lifeless plastic finishes, have become acceptable.
