One of a kind, refinished Dynatron radiogram with original turntable, radio, and speakers - all in good working order having recently been serviced. The stereo speakers are well preserved, and pull out smoothly at either side. The unit produces a lovely, detailed, warm sound. This vintage record player stand, featuring the Union Flag and ripped tin, has been refinished with layers of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Graphite, Napoleonic Blue, Emperor’s Silk, Original, and Rust-Oleum Silver, then sealed with clear and black waxes. This piece would make a great addition to a man cave for a vinyl fanatic.

This hand painted chest of drawers started out as a music cabinet ... it could still be used as such, but if you’re not musically inclined, why not load it with your favourite things: books, magazines, scarves, gloves, jewellery, special lingerie? I have used Chalk Paint to restyle: Old Violet, Provence, Paris Grey, and Antoinette for the drip technique, added some flyspecking, then sealed and aged with clear and dark waxes. The drawers are in good working order, and should be pulled out before the fall-fronts are dropped, as depicted - they have been cleaned and polished.

This bedside cabinet, probably circa 1950s, has been given an Annie Sloan Chalk Paint makeover with Chateau Grey, Duck Egg Blue, Graphite, Original, and Emperor’s Silk. The little dog is painted freehand, and, if you open the door, there’s his lost ball. The piece is sealed with a wax finish varnish, clear wax, and a dark wax glaze to protect and age. The unit also has a slide-out tray, which has been sanded free of varnish and dark-waxed. The brass handles are original to the piece. To purchase: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Orchardcottagefinds

This reproduction Queen Anne style ladies writing desk/dressing table has been given a rustic, springtime finish with layered tones of blue, green, and white Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, with bamboo stencilling, and sealed with clear wax: the same finish has been applied to the brass hardware.

This old, hand-built piece could add a real punch of colour and useful storage in a porch, summer house, or craft room. The hinges have been perked up with gold leaf gilding paste, and I’ve added a magnetic door catch. This is not a refined piece, but has been transformed with paint and patience, and has plenty of charm. Dimensions H:75cm W:79cm D:48cm To purchase: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Orchardcottagefinds

Hand painted accent table / bedside cabinet: this elegant, vintage French oak nightstand with brick red, grey and white marble top has been given a feminine and whimsical finish with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (tones of Scandinavian Pink, Primer Red, and Arles (drawer interior)), then sealed with clear and dark waxes for ageing and protection).

Hand painted French nightstand, bedside cabinet: this French antique accent table has been inspired by the fabulous work of Mackenzie Childs; this really isn’t anything like, other than using different patterns and making the most of the detail. I worked with three colours to complement the marble top (which I’ve polished with a specialist wax): Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Chateau Grey, Paloma, and French Linen, sealed with clear wax, Decoart metallic paint in Champagne, and Briwax to clean and polish up the drawer and cabinet interiors. I hope this once-abandoned old nightstand will find a new home where it will be appreciated again. This is a statement piece, and could look great in a neutral space, such as a bedroom, bathroom, entryway, or alcove.

Hand painted French bedside cabinet/accent table with folk art detail: The weather has been so unusually fabulous, I felt like getting my Greek on with this vintage French piece, which has been brought here to West Yorkshire from a brocante in Brittany. I used custom blues and Cream Chalk Paint, and sealed with clear wax. The drawer interior is painted and waxed, and the cupboard cleaned and sealed with Briwax. Slight separation at either side of the planked top adds rustic charm, but is solid. We can arrange to have a piece of glass cut to fit the top, the cost of which is in addition to the piece. Please ask for a quote. This versatile table would look great in a small space/alcove and provide useful storage in a bathroom, bedroom, conservatory or entryway.

This sturdy table has been constructed from disparate elements, so is a genuine recycled and unique piece; painting it with Chalk Paint has given it a cohesive and sympathetic makeover - custom blue base, wash of lightened French Linen, sea-scape top, sealed with clear and white waxes. A ply shelf or tray could be added, although I quite like that framework on view.

Solid ‘old pine’ washstand-style table, refinished with a base coat of Graphite, and top coat of Lem Lem Chalk Paint, moderately distressed, and sealed with clear and dark waxes. The artwork on this piece is very much inspired by Duncan Grant’s decorated pulpit at Berwick Church, close to Charleston House. This is a cute table, which would look great in a neutral entryway, bathroom, or conservatory; it isn’t as deep as this style of furniture usually is, which makes it perfect for smaller spaces. I’ve decoupaged the bottom of that little drawer, and sealed with Polyvine Dead Flat Varnish. Dimensions H:82cm W:60cm D:33cm To purchase: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Orchardcottagefinds

If you lived in Manchester, England in the 1980s/1990s and enjoyed the music scene, you might like this Chalk Paint™-finished chunky wood cabinet. There are nods to the bands, local clubs and pubs, most of which no longer exist (the Hacienda is represented by the yellow and black stripes, reference 'FAC 51', the opening night date, and silhouette of Anthony H. Wilson, who made such a huge cultural impact on the city during that period). The image across the drawers represents a New Order album cover, and then there's the incomparable, papier-mâché-headed local hero brought to life by Chris Sievey. And the humble bumble, the city’s symbol. It would make a quirky drinks cabinet, or just a great place to stash your stuff. The interior is clean.

A fabulous chiffonier, refinished with Chalk Paint™. I’ve used a base coat of Coco, and combined, layered, dry-brushed Amsterdam Green, Duck Egg Blue, Paris Grey, and Chateau Grey, giving it a mellow, rustic look. Cow parsley stencilling has been added to the doors and upstand in Original, distressed, sealed/aged with clear and dark waxes, and finally gilding wax highlights. The cupboard interior has been polished, and drawers polished and lined. The drawer sides have been left unpainted to expose the beautiful dovetail joints. The drawers run well, and the cupboard has a working lock and key. Of course, this could be used as intended, but would also provide great storage in a bedroom/bathroom for clothes, linens, and towels.
