I hate, hate, hate the cheap tatty furniture that most furniture showrooms are displaying in the name of design!!  And if I hear that word ‘faux’ one more time I think I will scream!!!  ‘Faux’ what does that mean??!!  To me it means ‘cheap tatty plastic made in china’ ‘Faux leather’, ‘faux suede’, ‘faux Louis’, ‘faux off’ that’s what I say!! 

With this in mind we have decided to bring a new range to Citrine ~ Reuse, Recycle, Renew.  That is the name of our new range of furniture ~ pre-loved and updated to reflect todays’ taste and todays’ feeling.

Wardrobes, sideboards, cupboards, tables and chairs will all be stripped, treated, painted or re-upholstered to bring them bang up to date!  Take a look here at some examples of recycled furniture.

I can’t help be inspired and it sent my mind on a whirlwind of ideas to use and impliment into my own home.  I don’t know about you but I struggle finding unique furniture too.  I love Phillipe Stark and his organic designs but I wanted to be resourceful and recycle.  Well look what I also found!!  Recycled furniture made even more beautiful with the clever use of wallpaper and a good quality paint!!   Bryonie Porter has produced some beautiful furniture by recycling old pieces.  Recycling, eco friendly and beautiful!!

I’m inspired, what about you??
