"I am very creative so after I had been upcycling furniture as a hobby for my own house for a while we decided to give it a go as a business."I like buying pieces from charity shops and giving them a distressed look."I still love being a florist but I wanted to try something new. A different way of being artistic."The couple, from Porthill, source furniture from the internet, auctions and adverts in The Sentinel before Tracy spends days giving each piece a unique look. She added: "I use a method called distressing where you make the furniture look old by painting it and then rubbing it off in certain areas."It's not a perfect look, it's shabby chic, but it gives furniture a new lease of life. No one piece is the same."Shoppers browsed the revamped coffee tables, footstools, chairs, dressing tables and mirrors during the launch day at the Ellison Street shop on Saturday.One piece up for sale was a £250 rustic dresser which Tracy had spent four days lovingly refurbishing after buying it on eBay.Brad, aged 48, said: "The warehouse at the back became free and we had always wanted to do something with it ourselves so decided to make a go of it."
Tracy is the artistic one and she'd taken an interest in shabby chic so we decided that was probably a good way to go because not a lot of shops do that style."Vintage is very in at the moment, nobody wants flat brown furniture or even pine anymore."Tracy spends a long time on each piece because the attention to detail is the important thing and it all ends up looking really nice."It was very exciting to open at the weekend. We've been looking forward to it for a while and we got lots of great feedback on the day."
