Finished "Share Your Thoughts" Bedroom Cabinet

During this year's Ouseburn Festival, we've given you an opportunity to "Share Your Thoughts" and write them on our painted white cabinet. We were absolutely amazed and happy to see, how well this project has been received and how much fun some of you have had... 

Ouseburn Festival has finished and our cabinet is now also completed and ready. Final result is shown on the photos below. Cabinet will be available for viewing in our shop for next three months, so if you didn't make it this weekend you will still have a chance to take a look and read all the notes left by others... 

We would be also happy to hear your thoughts on what we should do with the cabinet after exhibiting it in the shop... We were thinking of selling it at the auction (preferably local) and donating all profits to selected charity! However if you wish to have this item in your own home or studio please let us know and as long as we can raise some money for a good cause, we would be happy to see it go...

For all your thoughts and ideas, please inbox us on our Facebook profile (RecycleYour Furniture). 

Thanks again for being with us. :-)

Ouseburn Festival 2013

We had an amazing time at this year's Ouseburn Festival. And as usual there was great amount of people visiting local area and having fun with their friends and family. We would like to thank everyone who visited us and all those who participated in our "Share Your Thoughts" project - THANK YOU! :-)

PS: Have a look at some pics from the Festival - more photos available on our Facebook profile. 

 
 

Fantastic Photo Shoot

Yet another time we have been asked to lend some of our furniture to be a part of a photo session. Our old friend Emily Willis, who had couple of her designed pieces in our shop in Ouseburn and presently works as gallery curator in Biscuit Factory, was organizing funky vintage photo shoot and thought we may have some items, which could be used for this purpose. Photo shoot took place in the old train station and very talented photographer, Sean Elliott,  captured amazing character of the place in all images. Most beautiful part of the photos, in our eyes, is color and light, playing very subtle role in whole arrangement. Great work and gosh, what a results... Have a look at the image of one of our beautiful red leather chesterfield armchairs used on the day...

Beautiful homes...

We are always happy, when our customers are happy... We are even happier, when they decide to come back for more... But we are over the moon, when they become friends and results of our work are as beautiful as that... We have just received those amazing images from Frankie and Alex, which show off their amazing and incredibly warm home. We are proud to say, that pieces shown on the pictures (pine dresser and dining table) have been purchased in our shop and our latest project for Frankie was this amazing painted white Queen Anne's style dressing table (mirror has been customised and added by Frankie though - looks fab!) We also need to give credit and round of aplause to Alex - amazingly refurbished steps on the photo are his own project and again - looks great!
