Mermaid Blue & Teak Bow Front Bedside Chest of Drawers

This lovely pair of vintage solid teak chest of drawers are the perfect storage side table or fabulous large bedside tables. They have been stripped down and the body painted in a custom-mixed traditionally grained milk paint. The colour is a dark blue with a hint of green which I am calling 'Mermaid Blue'. When you are close-up, the handpainted milk paint creates interesting striations of colour reminiscent of the deep ocean. The colour changes depending on the light from teal through to a deep blue depending on this light as you can see from the photos. The tops have been stained dark walnut and the handy pull-out panels have a gold keyline detail. The whole piece has been sealed using a very hardwearing satin hardwax oil. The stunning sunburst drop ring handles are solid brass and have a delightful vintage patina. Please note, this is a handpainted milk paint finish which is designed to show off differences in colour, speckling and flaws in the wood. These pieces were likely handmade and carved so should not be considered 'perfect'. This in no way detracts from the overall look and indeed creates a genuine shabby chic finish which is truly beautiful. I have, of course, included lots of detailed photos and close-up photos for you to review before purchase. The price listed is for the pair but please contact me if you are interested in buying a single unit.

Parisian Stripe Floral Bedside Tables

These classic Stag bedside tables feature wide Parisian style stripes in a classic taupe and ivory. The top has been kept classic in the neutral taupe whilst the striped sides and front of the drawers feature that extra touch of oh la la with creamy white Magnolia flowers. A secret pull out table top extension makes them extra useful giving you the perfect place to pop your book or teacup when enjoying a well deserved lie-in on a Sunday. The original floral handles have been polished and lacquered to keep the classic brass shining bright. All surfaces have been sealed in tough acrylic varnish. Price is for the pair of bedside cabinets. Dimensions: 520mm wide x 460mm deep x 540mm high. The Parisian Magnolia design can be recreated on other pieces of furniture and in other colourways such as Black / White, Greys, Pink / Ivory and more. Please email me for more details and a bespoke no obligation quote. All my pieces are upcycled and use preloved furniture and whilst they have been given a complete upgrade, there may be still be limited signs of their vintage provenance. Please review all photos carefully before purchase – thank you!

Holy moly Jenny is good! She has totally transformed our kitchen by sanding down and painting every single door and spraying the handles too and it looks utterly fab. She has given this room a whole new lease of life and are so grateful. Friendly, super reliable and with so little mess we can’t recommend enough. Thank you so much!

I purchased an upcyceld table lamp. Jenny was amazingly helpful, from the start of my initial enquiries right through to me placing my order. My table lamp is lovely, exactly what I needed to place shells into, that my family have collected over the years. I would highly recommend 'Glasshouse Girl'.

We ordered a matching pair of bedside cabinets in floral blue & white English countryside and are absolutely thrilled with them. Somthing different, recycled, trendy and admired by everyone we show them to. Thank you Jenny, they have made our newly extended bedroom complete!

Jenny is adept at finding suitable furniture to spec and then converting it to a first rate beautiful product. She is really helpful. And you get something that you won't see in shops! Hassle-free delivery too. Highly recommended.

Jenny did an amazing job of upcyling our kitchen/ dining room furniture, she was full of great advice and ideas and we are very happy with the result. I will definitely be asking Glasshouse Girl next time we need furniture/ accesories reimagined. Highly recommend.

I was overjoyed to see a large dresser, bedside table and mirror from my childhood restored after receiving 40 years of abuse, including my own attempt at refurbishing it. Jenny was very good in the initial stages of helping me to define what effect, I wanted to achieve. I sent her examples of a subtle grey lime wash on oak with soft white highlights on a piece I saw in the Cotswolds. She responded with several photos of something similar to clarify the ask, then it was time to send the furniture to her, which was complicated by the fact I was moving house. But we managed to come up with a plan and the movers dropped the furniture at her storage unit the same day. Throughout the process Jenny sent jpeg photos in emails to show me how it was progressing. We were able to make some minor changes after the first piece was almost finished. What I didn’t expect was that the pieces were made of different types of wood and the top of the bedside table was almost destroyed due to water (mostly spilt tea) damage. This was the biggest challenge to overcome because the final look had to be consistent across all three pieces. Jenny rose to the challenge and performed her paint “magic” and the final result is brilliant, better than I could have imagined. The only slight disappointment was due to my own indecisiveness about the brass trim handles and knobs. I wish I had listened to Jenny in the first place when she brightened them up, still - she let me come back with them, conjured up a nice looking sample which she posted to me and soon they will receive the “Glass House Girl” treatment too. Most of all, through all of this, I appreciated the open communication through emails and text, Jenny was on top of it the whole way. Of course, I would highly recommend sending any weary looking furniture to Glass House Girl to brighten up with her magic.

We have trusted Jenny with two inherited wooden chests of drawers and a complete refurb of a metal desk. For al three pieces, we've been very happy with the service, the communication and the end results. She clearly cares about the furniture she works with and takes care to make sure the brief is agreed and clear in advance. Would absolutely recommend and we will most likely come back for more

Fantastic service from Jenny. I had my mother’s old Singer sewing machine I wanted making into a lamp. Jenny arranged for the machine to be collected and re-delivered back to my house. When I had a slight problem with the lamp, Jenny arranged for it to be collected so she could make it good again and returned it to me herself at no extra cost to me. She did a BRILLIANT job and the lamp is now standing proudly in my front room in memory of my mum. I would highly recommend Glasshouse girl, honest, trustworthy and marvellous craftswomen. You won’t be disappointed.
