This chest of drawes is originally from Mr Price and surprisingly is real wood but was looking a bit sad . I think we managed to give it a new look including filling up the cut out handles and using cup handles . What do you think of this transformation ?

It was really good to do a comm for a young couple . They brought this table to be painted all over but I persuaded them to give the beautiful oak a chance . They were thrilled with the outcome . Hope they tell their friends all about Simply French , as I would like to more work for this generation. Annie Sloan Athenian Black and our signature finish using Country Grey on the top .

I am trying very hard to fit some creative projects in between all the commissions. Last week I started on this vintage grain holder . It is going to live in my courtyard amongst all my plants- I will post a pic of it in situ .

It is wonderful to do work for a returning customer . Ten years ago we gave this patio table a make over and now we have given it another makeover to now be used as boardroom table in an office space with lots of white . We used Annie Sloan Pure White and our signature Country Grey wash on the top. My customer is happy and that makes me happy 🌿😊🌿

Annie Sloan Country Grey is the best way to lighten natural wood after sanding, creating a beautiful soft, natural finish while allowing the character of the wood to shine through.

A reminder that we can also recover and reupholster your chairs while we are painting your furniture, making it easy to transform an entire piece in one project.

A happy coincidence that Annie Sloan’s latest podcast is all about Antoinette, just as we finished this commission piece last week. Antoinette is such a beautiful grown-up pink — soft, elegant and easy to live with. It adds warmth without overpowering a space and works so well with natural wood and neutrals.

This little cupboard has been part of my life for over 60 years. It was the first thing I saw as I walked into my granny’s little thatch weekend 100 year old farm house on the Vaal River.
I spent every weekend there growing up, and later made more beautiful memories there with my own children, so this vintage cupboard holds so much sentimental value for me.
At the moment it has found a place in the bathroom of my cottage. And knowing me… it may just get painted again one day soon !

Did you know that we can recover your chairs while redoing your furniture? Swipe to see the before pictures — this has been such a beautiful transformation.
I always use Annie Sloan Country Grey as a wash, it gives wood that soft, natural look while still allowing the grain to show through. Reusing what you have is good for our planet 🌿🌿🌿
