Crafting Unique Furniture with Love

My Passion for Upcycling

Welcome to Woodshed Upcycling, the garden space for small scale furniture renovation.

Beautiful furniture provides that finishing touch that can bring a home to life. However, in the current economic climate, and with a keen eye to promote sustainability and protect the planet, simply buying something new is not always an option. Finding a new life for the things we already own is an excellent solution for those people who want to avoid simply taking a once loved item to the local tip.

I am a young, predominantly self-taught, furniture renovator and upcycler, based in Stockport. Building on skills I learnt at school and college, I initially dabbled with renovating furniture as my lockdown hobby in 2020. I work with solid wood pieces, such as 1980s and 90s pine furniture.

I want to work collaboratively with prospective customers to provide a bespoke finish, where you can choose the colour and finish of your piece. In changing the structure of a piece, I use solid wood or man-made materials.

I do not do upholstery, antique restoration or French polishing, and I am not the person for your treasured family heirlooms. I can collect and deliver to anywhere in, and close, to Stockport.

If you have something that has the potential for a new lease of life, then I might be your man even if you are not sure, there is nothing lost in asking. I look forward to hearing from you.
