This little chest had a secret life before I ever got my hands on it.

It started out as a canteen box, the kind of thing grand old households used to store their best cutlery. But the cutlery was long gone, and an empty canteen box isn't much use to anyone.

So I took out the old fittings, relined both drawers, and let it become something new: a proper little chest with all its Art Deco character still intact. That gorgeous bow front, the reeded legs and yes, it still locks, with its own working key 🔑

I've left the walnut as it is on this one. Sometimes a piece doesn't need paint, just a new job to do.

Would make the loveliest jewellery chest, or a compact side table with a bit of secrecy built in.

I love a piece that can wear more than one hat. This antique wooden harvest trug can hold fresh veg from the garden in summer and logs for the fire in winter.
It was made to be useful, and it still is. A bit of cleaning, a lot of character left exactly as I found it, and it's ready for whatever you want to put in it.
One of a kind, like they all are. Link in bio to see it in the shop.

Over 150 years old and still the most interesting thing in the room.
This is a genuine antique English oak joint stool, dating back to the 1800s and possibly earlier. Solid oak, hand carved panel along the apron, turned legs, and a rich dark patina that no amount of modern staining could replicate.
It has a few age cracks in one leg and the odd knock and dent, all completely in keeping with its age and none of it affecting how it sits or how solid it feels. Swipe through to see the carving detail up close.
H 53cm x W 38.5cm x D 27.5cm
Perfect as a side table, lamp table, bedside table or plant stand.

These aren't just stools. They're chairs, with their backs sawn off!

Sometime in the 1800s, a pair of child's Windsor chairs had their backs removed and were put back to work as stools. The original turned beech legs are still there. So are the mortise holes in the seat tops where the back spindles used to sit — the last trace of their former life.

It's such a perfectly practical, waste nothing piece of 19th-century thinking. And after 200 years, the elm seats have the most incredible deep, warm patina.

Listing in progress! This solid, versatile bookcase has been thoughtfully reimagined in a soft, matt apple green. It's the perfect size for a hallway console, a dedicated reading nook or stylish nursery storage.

The standout detail is hidden, pull out the drawers to reveal a hand stencilled scroll design in shimmering copper gilding wax along the sides. It's a subtle touch of luxury that makes opening the drawers are little more special.

A little update from the workshop...
​I’ve decided to rebrand! Refinished by Fiona is the new home for all my furniture transformations.
​Why the change? I wanted a name that felt more personal and truly captured the "refinishing" process—whether I’m working with bold colours or restoring natural wood grains.
​Thank you for all the support you’ve shown "Creatively Modern" over the years. I’m so excited to step into this next chapter as Refinished by Fiona.
