Frenchic Hornblower upcycle ❤️

04/09/2026

This old toy box was more than just a piece of furniture — it held so much sentimental value for our customer, as it had belonged to her son when he was little. Now grown up, she simply couldn’t bear to part with it. ❤️
It had an awful varnish on it, which we had quite the job getting off, but it was so worth the effort!
Once we had it prepped and ready, we gave it a complete transformation using Frenchic paint. ✨
From tired and dated to beautifully refreshed, this special toy box has been given a new lease of life — ready to hold plenty more memories for years to come. 🧸💙

Our guest bedroom was in need of a refresh, but instead of buying new furniture, I decided to upcycle some cherished family pieces using Frenchic Paint.
With a little preparation, a few coats of paint, and plenty of patience, tired-looking furniture was transformed into beautiful statement pieces that perfectly suit the room. The fresh colours of sage green, pinks & creams has brightened the space, while still preserving the character and memories attached to each item.
The makeover wasn't just about saving money—it was about creating a welcoming guest room filled with personality and family history. Upcycling is a fantastic way to reduce waste, be creative, and achieve a bespoke look that you simply can't buy off the shelf.
The room now feels fresh, cosy, and inviting, ready for family and friends to enjoy. Seeing these old pieces transformed has reminded me that sometimes the best furniture is the furniture you already own.

Dressing Table Painted in "Nougat" ❤️

Some before & afters of recent commission work ✨️

This set was painted in Frenchic Paint Lazy Range “Salt of the Earth”, a beautifully soft, neutral tone that brings warmth without overpowering the room. It’s one of those shades that works effortlessly with both modern and traditional interiors, making the whole set feel calm, grounded, and inviting.
To add contrast and character, the tabletop was carefully sanded back to reveal the natural wood beneath. Rather than leaving it raw, a subtle colour wash was applied across the surface. This technique enhances the grain while softening the overall look, creating a gentle, weathered finish that feels both rustic and refined.
The combination of the painted base and the washed wood top strikes a lovely balance — light yet full of texture. It’s a reminder that upcycling isn’t just about saving money; it’s about creating something unique, full of personality, and perfectly suited to your home.
Now, instead of blending into the background, this dining set has become a true focal point — ready for everyday meals, gatherings, and everything in between.

Take a look at some of our latest pieces weve been working on! Using Frenchic Paint, with its self-priming, self-sealing qualities means we can work efficiently while still achieving a professional, long-lasting finish.
It also aligns with our values—low VOC, eco-conscious, and made with sustainability in mind. When you’re upcycling, the materials you use matter just as much as the pieces you’re transforming.
We also embrace the beauty of imperfection and don’t aim to erase every mark of age. Subtle textures, faint lines, and hints of the past are what give each piece its soul. Frenchic helps us enhance those features rather than hide them.
Each item in this collection is one-of-a-kind. Not just restored, but reimagined.
Have a piece you’re thinking of transforming? Start with what you already have—you might be surprised at what it can become. We can do all the work for you or if you even fancy having a go yourself just pop in and we will advise you all the way ❤️
