This is an excellent example of my ‘Croc’ range of furniture using an original vintage ‘Strongbow Furniture’ sideboard.

The external frame has been painted black and the top, sides and door front decoupaged with a textured black/grey mock croc paper. The piece has then been sealed with multiple coats of a resin based varnish to protect and maintain its good looks.

As a final flourish, the original brass hardware has been fully restored and adds a bit of glitz to the sideboard’s subtle and elegant good looks.

Strongbow Furniture has been creating high-quality furniture for over 140 years and uses the finest timbers, veneers and polishes. Each piece is made by experienced cabinet-makers who combine traditional skills and modern production technology.

This sideboard has three doors and two pull out drawers behind the central door. The interior has been cleaned and buffed to show the beautiful original wood. Coming up to just above waist height, this sideboard has an incredible amount of storage which is ideal for modern living.

Dimensions: 137cm wide x 42cm deep x 93cm tall.

Dark Peacock Bow Front Sideboard

This gorgeous 1950s Beautility brand sideboard has been given a glamorous update with the bow-front curves gently undulating to accentuate its fine figure. These pieces are stripped down and brought back to life by painting in multiple coats of hardwearing black acrylic paint. I then apply this stunning textured vinyl wallpaper to the flat surfaces. The design has a black base and striking colours which feature peacocks, quail and other birds as well as tulips, roses and floral motifs. To complete the piece, I have added the gorgeous handles from Anthropologie. The black drawers are set off with turquoise handles and the doors have matching black handles to more subtly merge into the feature paper. This is a truly great example of Shabby Luxe styling, where a piece has been luxuriously upcycled whilst keeping its vintage charm intact. Dimensions: 1220mm wide x 490mm deep (at max curve) x 565mm high. These pieces have been finished and graded for light domestic use (e.g. display and storage purposes) standards but if you wish to use it for a more arduous application (e.g. bar or serving area) then I would recommend adding a glass top. A glass top template will be included with your purchase for you to source locally or you can upgrade by selecting the 'with glass' option when you add to your basket. Typical lead time is 4-6 weeks once a raw unit has been sourced. As this piece is preloved and upcycled, please can you carefully review all the photos before purchase - thank you! I have similar units with flat fronts and a wide range of other pieces of furniture in stock which can be done in this style just for you. Please contact me for more information.

Game of Thrones Inspired Cocktail Bureau

This stunning carved solid teak bureau would make the perfect cocktail or drinks cabinet as well as providing loads of storage space. A unique statement piece, you can just imagine the conversations you could have with family and friends around it whilst you prepare drinks and cocktails! It's practical and stylish - what more could you want? The piece has has moved past its dark 1980s style days and brought bang up to date with a grey and white drybrushed finish. This makes it look like stone or metal which changes depending on the light. I've tried to show you this in the photos. The front of the bureau and drawer fronts feature a carved birds and blossom design which is really brought out by the finish. This is what really inspired me to give it the edgy finish as it was so reminiscent of the Game of Thrones intro. The flowers align it with the House of Tyrell but you won't be disappointed if you are feel you're more of a Stark, Lannister, Baratheon or Targaryen. Even if you've never watched GOT and couldn't care less where the inspiration came from, you'll still love its statement modern style! The interior has been painted in sleek black whilst the drawers have been lined with a grey / black snakeskin print paper with just a touch of glitter which adds that little bit of extra style and surprise when open. The original oriental base has been replaced with some simple solid oak 'L' shaped corner feet which brings the styling bang up to date. Dimensions: 460mm deep x 890mm wide x 1010mm tall. Incredibly heavy, this piece will need a specialist courier so please contact me for a full quote before purchasing.

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.
