Commissions
Create a bespoke piece that's uniquely yours
Your Vision, My Craftsmanship
Whether you have a cherished piece of furniture that needs restoration or you're looking for something entirely new, I work closely with you to create furniture that reflects your personal style and fits perfectly in your space.
Each commission is a collaborative journey, combining your vision with my expertise in French-inspired design and restoration techniques.
The Commission Process
Initial Consultation
We start with a conversation about your vision, style preferences, and requirements. Share photos of inspiration and discuss your budget and timeline. This can be done via email, phone, or in person.

Design Proposal
I'll create a detailed proposal including design concepts, color schemes, materials, estimated timeline, and a quote. We'll refine the design together until it's exactly what you envision.
Sourcing & Preparation
If needed, I'll source the perfect piece for your project. Then comes careful preparation including cleaning, repairs, and surface prep to ensure the best possible foundation for transformation.

Transformation
The magic happens! I'll keep you updated with progress photos as your piece comes to life. This stage includes painting, decorative work, and all the special touches that make it unique.
Delivery & Enjoyment
Your finished piece is delivered or ready for collection. I'll provide care instructions to help you maintain its beauty for years to come. Then it's time to enjoy your unique statement piece!
