Even better than the photos!

"…My tables look absolutely perfect. I am thrilled. I have been looking for a nest of tables for a year. They have all been soooo boring, but not now!…"

Lush green plants flank it on the left, while dried pampas grass in a clear vase is placed on the right. A framed minimalist artwork hangs above the dresser.

Step 1 - Consultation Call

During our consultation, we'll brainstorm design ideas, explore colour palettes, and discuss any special details you envision. I'll share my expertise and fresh perspectives to help bring your vision to life.

Step 2 - Send me photos

Send me photos and measurements of your space, along with any design ideas you've found online or in magazines. This will help me tailor a furniture solution that perfectly complements your vision.

Step 3 - Moodboard

I'll create a moodboard showcasing design ideas and options for your piece. We'll then work together to refine the design until it perfectly reflects your vision.

Step 4 - Deposit

After finalising the design, a 50% deposit is required to book your spot in my schedule and allows me to begin acquiring materials for your one-of-a-kind piece.

Step 5 - Creation

Throughout the creation process, I'll keep you updated with progress photos, so you can watch your dream piece come to life.

Step 6 - Completion & Delivery

Once your piece is complete, it undergoes a rigorous quality check to ensure it surpasses expectations. Then, I'll personally arrange delivery (or use a trusted courier) so you can receive your one-of-a-kind furniture and finally enjoy it in its perfect form!

"👇 THE WHY HERE 👇 PSA: Don't skip the prep! 🚫 We've all been tempted to slap on a fresh coat of paint without dealing with the old stuff. BUT, as this reel proves, that flakey, chipped paint is NOT a good base. 😩 Here's why paint removal is KEY: Better adhesion for your new paint = longer-lasting results! Smoother finish that's actually worth showing off ✨ No nasty surprises down the road when your paint starts to peel 😱 Trust me, a little extra effort now will save you major headaches (and another repainting project) later! 💪 If you’d like to learn more about painting and restoring furniture, then be sure to head over to my page @phoenixfurniturestudio and follow if you want to be part of our awesome community 🥰🥳 Brenda xx" #DIYTips #PaintPrep #FurnitureMakeover #DIYHomeDecor #Upcycling #HomeImprovement #InteriorDesign #InteriorDesigners#InteriorDesignerLife #InteriorDesignCommunity #LuxuryInteriors#InteriorDesignTrends#DesignInspiration#ModernInteriors#InteriorDecorating#DesignDetails#HighEndDesign
