This piece is sold but i can create one similar for you. each one will be unique
This is a hand painted writing desk/bureau. It has been transformed to take pride of place in your home. Changing your living space into an area where you can happily work from home, giving you a smile as you work away! She is extremely functional in today's climate.
Inspired by the most beautiful floral transfer, I choose to paint in a soft pink with touches of orange and peach. It reminds me of strawberry milkshake! It is beautifully painted and decorated with great care taken to keep the character that it possesses. The top is left wood..the oak has such beautiful tones and it has been enriched with deep wax.
The inside has been painted with gold to give it a bit of glam...little touches have been added and will pop out to surprise you. The little drawer in the top has been lined with ancient paper, i’ve had for about 30 years! And has had a gold script stencilled on the front. The knob has been gilded with different coloured wax’s.
The front pull down rests on two pieces of wood that come out when you lower the top. This is decorated with gold script wring. The writing desk has been painted, she has had a transfer applied and has been top coated for protection. She has the original key..
Each drawer has had the sides painted in gold and lined in the same old paper as the top little drawer..they pull out with the most gorgeous original knobs. They are in original condition and are beautiful. They are very useful being quite deep.
The sides of the bureau are both different and have gold strips and parts of the floral transfer. Blending the whole look together as one. The feet are cute..painted in gold.
I will do my very best to match the same desk but if not i will work closely with you to find the perfect piece.

"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".

"I am very pleased with the look and quality of the sideboard and enclose a photo of it in-situ in our hallway. It fits perfectly. Thank you for the extreme thoroughness of the packing (it must have taken ages, as it took me a long time to unpack) and it arrived intact. Just one little blip, the tape caught a tiny bit of paint on the bottom edge which came away, but I have been able to touch this in, so no problem with the overall look.
I also added some sensor lights inside to help identify the contents as the interior was dark. They work a treat".
Customer Reviews
I bought a Kraft Lloyd Loom Chair and Ottoman from Julie Griffiths, she was so helpful and answered all my queries and even changed the fabric on the ottoman to match the chair. They’re just perfect. Completely agree and support the principles of this up cycling website, payment was secure and simple and the service was better than most retail stores. Thank you
I am very pleased with the service provided by Lisa who sourced and found a gin cabinet for me. We worked very closely together to refurbish the cabinet to my satisfaction. Lisa was very accommodating and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. I'm very pleased with the end product.Cole from Upcite was also very supportive. All together a most positive and productive experience. I would recommend Upcite to family and friends.
Bought a drinks cabinet from Boho Bard, the ease of ordering this through her and this site was remarkable, delivery exceptional and when it finally came (within the week) the quality of the workmanship is outstanding, you can really tell she takes pride in her work, immaculate inside and out, little touches and details that weren’t visible in the listed photos really bring this piece to life, I have never loved a piece of furniture this much and I’m sure it will be a staple piece in our household for the foreseeable, she was present throughout the whole process keeping me updated and even checked in to make sure I was happy with the piece when it came. Inside the cabinet contained the key and a wonderfully presented box which provided care instructions and a little touch up kit in case of any accidental damages, I was eying up this cabinet for months wondering if I should go through with it and finally did, if you’re doing the same please listen and do it, you will not regret it!
Excellent service from start to finish. Highly reccomend.
We ordered a beautiful display cabinet for our living room. The finish is absolutely beautiful and we’ve already had lots of wonderful comments. It’s great to have a totally bespoke piece.
The seller, Painted Orchard, kept me informed about the delivery at all times and went above and beyond. When one of the glass shelves accidentally got chipped during packaging, he immediately informed me. He sent the cabinet anyway as scheduled so I would have it on time (the chip was hardly noticeable) but then sent on a recut replacement glass shelf. Concerned with how easily the original one had chipped, he ordered new shelves for the whole cabinet in a slightly thicker glass and sent them all at no extra cost. First class service.
The whole experience using this website has been great and I’ve recommended to several friends. We’re already looking around our home wondering where we could fit another piece of furniture!!
