VE DAY

A little different post from me today! You may not know but my first job was working for Ercol Furniture.

I hadn't been there very long when, one day in May, everyone was ushered to the factory floor to listen to The Ercol Band and to Mr Lucian (Ercolani) speak. It was the company's VE Day service which they held to say thank you to those who had been in WW2, some of whom worked on the factory floor.

I don't know if this still happens, but it opened my eyes to what the day means and has always stayed with me

And how does the picture work with this post? Only that our dog is VE Day ready with his posh collar and poppy on too 🐕‍🦺

CAN YOU HELP WITH THIS?

Recently I was contacted by a lady, let's call her Amy, who had started painting her sideboard during lockdown. Project started Amy lost confidence with the finished result and put down the paint brush ☹️. Years later she asked me to help her to finish it.

Is this you? 🤔

I can help you if you want to finish your project but don't know how!

I can either paint it for you or give you the tools and knowledge to paint a piece 👩🏻‍🎨

Message me and we can chat further

KITCHEN TRANSFORMATION

We all LOVE a before and after 😍

This kitchen has kept me quiet over the last couple of weeks!!! Lovely solid wood but ready for a refresh, this kitchen has been painted in a beautiful mid green and teal blue for my customer.

Bringing the outside inside echoing the colours from the garden and sitting room, it's now a truly tranquil place to work.

HELP! I'm looking for new PODCASTS 🎧

What's in your podcast library? Mine is littered with small business tips and tricks, interior design and a scattering of comedy, interviews and stories.

I've binged the fabulous @anniesloanstagram podcast called the Colourist which is a beautiful chat between Annie and Tristan from @dogheaddesigns about the history and impact of different colours in our painted world. I can't wait for the next instalment and highly recommend to anyone interested in colour.

And another great listen is the Chromologist from @farrowandball, where interviewees describe the colours of their life.

I loved the weekly chat from @sophierobinsoninteriors and @mad_about_the_house In the Great Indoors and have listened to those podcasts several times over!

But I'm running out of things to listen to!! 😱

Do you have one you would recommend??? 🤔

Help!! What are your recommended podcasts? I'll have a listen next week 🥰

Now I also have to nominate 2 other painters!

For the showcase a piece tag, I'm nominating someone who creates pure beauty - @finn.interiors

HEY GOOD LOOKING!

Your unloved shabby chic chalk painted pine furniture can look good again!

Painted at least 15 years ago, these pine bedsides were in need of some major TLC

Some elbow grease to remove all the chalk paint 💪🏻, and some @fusionmineralpaintuk and these have a contemporary modern finish!

What do you think? An improvement?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLUE BOY💙

People coming across my business for the first time, often ask - why Blue Boy as a business name?

As some of you will already know, Blue Boy is named after my son Charlie, who passed away when he was 5 years old following a tragic accident.

It's been a long path, today is Charlie's birthday and he would be 23 today 💙

Following Charlie's accident, I was counselled for PTSD and crafting has been my way to work through the pain and emotions.

Today, I still have flashbacks, although, thankfully, not as many. Having spoken to other grieving mums, I believe a mother's pain of loss never leaves but we learn how to manage and mask it.

And so calling my business Blue Boy, helped to give my grief focus; it keeps Charlie with me in my future.

And every day someone asks "why Blue Boy" I get to tell his story 💙

My social network has grown over the years, and I have met many other crafters also working through emotional pain, loss, difficulties and life changing experiences.

To all of you I send my love and support and hope for brighter better days x

And to my little Blue Boy, I'll send a message up above... Happy Birthday Charlie, I love you xx

#griefrecovery #creativityandwellbeing #furniturepainting

I love playing with vintage fabrics and this is a one of kind large lampshade.

The inner fabric was a sample which has been swallowed up with this large shade... so....there can be only 1 (and if you said that in a Scottish voice you're in my world 😆 #ifyouknowyou)

This lampshade will be making its first appearance at Peterley this weekend... see you there?!

WHAT A NIGHT!

We had so much fun at my last workshop in the professional finishes evening classes last night.

Using @redesignwithprima Fiber decoupage papers, transfers, stencils, acrylic metallic paints and some @artisticpaintingstudio foils, my class created these fantastic portraits!

Love them!! The more bonkers they became the even more fabulous they were!

Thank you to my class for such a great evening 😍

HAVE YOU TRIED TRANSFERS?

Whilst whizzing around between the workshops and the creative crafts at the NEC, I've been popping some creativity into my own soul with this little set of bedside drawers.

This is a @redesignwithprima transfer called Pretty in Blue. It's a large transfer but you don't have to use these as they are supplied. I cut this one into smaller sections to create my own pattern on the front of this small set of bedside drawers. I was trying to create a blue bird toile kind of effect.

There are so many different designs, the choice is endless and I changed my mind way too many times 😆!

The chest of drawers is painted in @fusionmineralpaintuk heirloom, a colour which has been on my Fusion shelves and I that I hadn't tried... and it's so pretty !!

This little piece is now for sale, I have a new outlet... watch this space for more details!

All products used are available for UK shipping on my website

HIGH GLOSS DRAWER MAKEOVER

Recently a customer contacted me about a set of high gloss drawers they wanted to repurpose. Could they be foiled? 🤔

I have to admit it's not something I'd tried before! There was an area which would be covered when the drawers went back in situ, and so it became TEST area! 👩‍🔬

I treated the area like it was glass, gave it a good clean and then went straight in with a thicker layer of glue over the gloss, which I left to dry for 4 hours so it was super tacky! Then applied an @artisticpaintingstudio foil called Pale Fossil

The test area worked... and the process worked on the drawers too! 👏🏻YAY

I applied a top coat after building up to 5 layers and increasing the top coat strength for the last 3 layers.

My customer has promised to send a photo of the drawers once they have been repurposed... watch this space and I'll share her finished project 😍

BLUE BOY... I'M HAVING THE BEST TIME 💙

Today, on International women's day, I've been reflecting on women and the different paths our lives take us.

I don't know about you but when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, I was brought up to believe I needed to have a "nice little" job, to get married and have a family. Full stop. Nothing more and nothing less 🥱

So at 18 I followed the rules... ish 😉... I got my office job but then worked hard heading up the career ladder. Sometimes I was the only woman in a very male world, fighting my corner for women in business.

I got married, but my 2.4 family fell apart after my son died and I continued on, struggling financially as a single mum in a job I frankly hated.

This wasn't how I was told my life plan would be when I was a child!

Then in 2019 I remarried and launched Blue Boy all in the same year 🥰

PTSD from the loss of my son Charlie, and juggling being a mum to a teen with a stressful corporate career, were all taking their toll on my body and mind.

So... I took a deep breath, and, stepped away from the life I knew and believed was "the way it should be".. and it was the best thing I ever did! Blue Boy carried Charlie into my future with me and I'm happy 🥰

It's not easy running your own business, but I'm my own boss and that means so much to me.

So on International women's day, I wanted to raise a glass 🥂 to all of us, whatever twists and turns your life is taking, we've all got this 💙in our own individual way 💙

🐘ELEPHANTS 🐘

I had to share this with you! One of my biggest loves in this world is animals and during our stay here in Thailand, we have been so privileged to spend some time with these beauties!

We spent time just walking with and feeding this gorgeous pair who had been rescued from their previous lives being ridden by tourists.

On another day we had seen elephants chained and waiting for their next passengers. Their eyes weren't alive like these girls, and they certainly weren't as happy.

These girls went where they wanted, were free to roam, were inquisitive and their individual personalities shone out.

I am totally in love with them both 😍.

Thank you to @careforelephants for allowing us to share some time with this precious pair.

#saveelephants #noriding #thailandelephants

THAILAND 😍

I've been a little quiet on my socials for the last 2 weeks!

As my daughter has continued to fulfil your paint and craft orders, Mark and I have been travelling in Thailand 🐘

And wow what a sensory overload it has been!

Temples drenched in small glass mosaics of blue, red, and green. Gold leaf EVERYWHERE. And hand painted walls. Carvings. And even more gold leaf.

The people here are truly kind, generous and friendly

We are back home soon and I'm inspired to create something bright and gold! Watch this space 😍

#thailandtrip #goldleafart #gilding #mosaicart #furniturepainting

HOW DID I DO THAT?

That's a question I actually asked myself after I'd finished this lampshade! It was definitely a case of get your big girls pants out - you can do this!!!

No denying it was a labour of love, it took far longer than I had envisaged and a couple of very late nights as I tried to work out how the top was going to fit back on AND be fully lined.... but I got there!!

It was HUGE and my hand sewing skills definitely improved and sped up as I worked on this shade!!

This has to be the biggest most complicated project I've tackled.... and all I have to say is.... when can I do the next one? 😂

ONCE UPON A REDESIGN IS HERE!

So excited by these Redesign with Prima and Kacha transfers!

A new smaller size, the pack is just 2 sheets making them a much more budget friendly option.

I have limited stocks available NOW of each design, link to my website is in my bio 😍 UK delivery only

#furniturepainting #upcycledfurniture #redesignwithprima #kachagoldtransfer

SHE'S HOME!

Phewee this was a BIG in fact HUGE lampshade!

Take a look at the before picture, it had been languishing in a garage for years, the fabric literally disintegrating as the owners tried to find someone to recover her. This lamp had one lampshade and no other would fit due to the top light and so, quite simply could not be used!

I met my customers, let's call them Wally and Ethel, at Peterley Manors Christmas Fair. They had seen in @roundandaboutmag that I would be at the fair and came to see me to see if I could help.

To say it's taken a lot of work would be an understatement, but I'm so chuffed with the finished results.

#reloved #repaired and #recovered

The fabric was Ethel's choice but the trim is a direct replica of the original trim on the original chiffon covering. We wanted to keep the feeling of the old with the new 😍

I thought you might like to see how much STUFF comes with me when I teach a Furniture Painting Workshop 😀

I think I must take everything but the kitchen sink (I mean, there's one of those at the venue so we don't need to double up 😂😂)

But when you paint a piece of furniture, you never know what challenge it may bring, and with 10 pieces of furniture being painted.... that could be 10 different challenges!!

Special thanks to my husband Mark who helps load and unload the car on those days! 😘

WORKSHOP DAY! 😍

One of my favourite days is teaching at a workshop.

Yesterday we had a class of 10 who came along to learn how to paint furniture using my brushes and paints from our Fusion mineral paint range.

Everyone brings along a piece of furniture from home, and they create a beautifully painted piece of furniture during the day.

We go through every step together.

There are always 2 rules
1. Ask as many questions - no question is a silly question, and
2. Have fun! We are there to laugh and enjoy ourselves for the day 😍

Such a great group to teach yesterday, and we definitely had fun creating these pieces! We even had one lady who took her little table a step further and purchased some Redesign with Prima transfers and had a go with those too!

Do you fancy coming along to a workshop with me?

Our next upcycle for beginners class is March 2025. Pop a message in the comments if you would like more information 😍

WORK IN PROGRESS....

When I exhibited at Peterley Christmas fayre last year, a lovely couple came up to me and asked if I could recover a traditional style lampshade for them.

I was so excited when I saw the size and shape of this lampshade, it sits on a tall floor lamp and is VAST!

Fast forward to this week and I have started the project 👏🏻

Stage 1 - strip the frame of all the old cover and binding.

Keep following to watch the progress of this refurbish 😍

#lampshade #vintagelighting #refurbished #recovered #upcycledhome

REMODERNISED LIGHTING
(is that even a word 😄)

This is the first commission finished for 2025 😍

My customer, let's call her Marie, had asked if I could make a new lampshade for her lamp... it was a pale yellow wood, made by Habitat possibly in the 1990s.

After looking at lots of lovely fabrics it became apparent that the lamp itself would need to go.... or hang on... why not have that refreshed too! 👍🏻

Boom! I painted the lamp base for Marie in fabulous on trend matte black and created a drum lampshade to sit on the top in a modern cross hatch fabric

Swipe across to see the original lamp. I think it looks much better now... what do you think?

#lampshademaker #newlighting #luxurylighting #bespokelighting #paintedfurniture #buckinghamshire #upcyclefurniture

GRAB YOUR BRUSHES AND SPREAD SOME LOVE 😍

I'm sure Nathan Angelo wasn't referring to painting furniture when he said spread a little happiness spread a little love... but that's how I feel when I spread the paint on a piece of unloved furniture!!! 😄

This time it was @fusionmineralpaintuk inglenook.

Do you have a piece of unloved furniture in your home? Grab a brush and spread some love... or chat to me about painting it for you?

What will be... the KITCHEN COLOURS FOR 2025 💭

Over the last few months, all the paint companies have been releasing their colours of the year, and it made me wonder... what colour I would be painting kitchens this year 😀

Earthy greens were definitely popular for painted kitchens in 2023 and 2024, and tbh, I can't see that being any different for 2025. With open plan living, the kitchen is now part of the main home area and bringing the outside in has been trending ever since the lockdown days of Covid. It makes sense that green is here to stay for another year.

But also coming into our interiors are warm creams, taupes and browns... and even reds!

Fusion mineral paint colours for 2025 are a mix of warm earthy tones. Pantone's colour is mocha mousse (a colour as it sounds and maybe something I'd actually quite like to eat!). Benjamin Moore's colour is cinnamon slate. Whilst Little Greene have chosen Mochi, another warm caramel colour.... a reaction to the colder greys of the last 10 years maybe?

But are you thinking of updating your kitchen cabinets this year? I'd love to know what colours you're thinking!

And don't forget my current offer of a 15% discount for this month only, when you book a repaint of your kitchen cabinets before 30 June 2025, during January 2025 😍

Drop me a message to find out more

#paintedkitchen #kitchencabinetsmakeover #buckinghamshire #KitchenMakeover

TIME FOR CALM

If you are looking to create a bedroom which is a warm restful retreat, duck egg greens and blues against a pale white wall are the perfect colour combination.

Green evokes a feeling of calm, and the pale greens can even evoke a spa like feel of tranquility.

If the pale greens and whites feel a little cold, try adding some pretty pale pink to give the room warmth, or a little gold for a touch of glamour.

And don't forget the all important textiles. A sumptuous boucle cushion and a warm throw will add layers to your room's decor scheme.

Now time to sit back and relax 💤💤💤

This chest of drawers was my last commission for 2024, painted in Fusion Mineral Paint UK French Eggshell.
If you love the colour I'll pop the link to the paint in the comments below 😍
