🌈 What better place to store your precious memories and keepsakes than in a gorgeous whimsical treasure chest! For this sweet little chest I have layered pinks, coral, yellow, blue and gold paints to create a rainbow of colour and just enough of a glimmer to catch in the light. Little cherubs decorate and guard the front and tropical bird transfers gracefully blend into the paintwork. I have picked out the detailing with 23.5 carrot liquid gold leaf for added luxury and shimmer. 
This cute little chest is small enough to keep out of the way but big enough for your personal keepsakes, photo album storage or family treasures.

I used Fusion milk paint, I blended, dry brushed, layered colours, I used Goldfarben liquid gold leaf, tried out PolyOnlay, used WoodUbend Mouldings as well as little bird transfers and metallic fouls to create a little shimmer inside. 
During the upcycling process I have taken care to ensure the finish is to a high quality. The paints I use are professional grade specifically for furniture upcycling. I prefer the mineral silk paints rather than chalk paint - this makes my products durable and gives a good quality finish. I use top coats such as Polyvine decorators varnish for added protection. The veneer wood on this cabinet has been treated with hemp oil to restore not to its natural beauty.
* This unit has both age and history and has been previously loved, there may therefore be signs of a life well lived. I have however taken care to lovingly restore it (as with all my work) to a beautiful re-loved statement piece that would sit proudly in any home
If it's a perfect factory finish you're after then upcycled may not be the best choice for you. All my pieces are chosen for their character and (like all of us) may have small flaws that add to this. 
I also take on commission / bespoke pieces so if you would like to find out more, please get in touch. 
Thank you for your interest in my piece! Upcycled & Reloved by Jodi 💞

"Fantastic website and customer service, cabinet as described and good quality, good value for money and regular communication contact from Upcite. The ethos behind the company is ethical and sustainable which is refreshing. Will definitely buy from this company again. Product furs in with our house restoration perfectly thank you".

"I was looking for a piece to stand next to a small ornate fireplace in our 1920’s build home and kept coming back to this lovely makeover, named ‘Grace’. I’m so delighted to have bought it. Mandy took time and care in delivering it and although she emphasised the fact it was an old piece I can only re-emphasise that that is exactly what I was looking for. It is testament to her skills that she has given ‘Grace’ a wonderful new lease of life. The stencilling on the drawers is top notch; the piece is painted beautifully - including the bits you wouldn’t normally see, which I prefer. The beautifully highlighted claw feet on the bottom of the piece are a real treat to look at, and my beady-eyed art tutor/’general expert on painted stuff’ agreed Mandys’ work is superb – sympathetic to the piece and to a high standard. I know I shall enjoy having Grace grace our home for many years".

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".
