The pieces of furniture I find and invest in are not seen as unloved pieces of furniture but past their best years.
I choose my pieces very carefully.
Many have come from homes of artists, collectors, or people who are downsizing and need to offload some of their most loved possessions. I have built relationships with many of these people listening to where the piece has come from, the history, previous owners and how they come to be in my possession. These are not just beautiful pieces of Vintage furniture but a piece of someone's heart, their past, their history and even their legacy.
From this I founded
Stories from My Vintage Table.
(where every work of art comes with its own special story)
Every piece of furniture will be a one of a kind. They are artisan works made with the highest quality of Artisan Paints ,Waxes, brushes, sealers, and more.
I am Fifi , I am a previous color consultant, makeup artist, educator, trainer , and interior designer. But above all things I am a story teller, a song writer, a creator an artisan.
Years ago I was expected to not live following a severe illness , and a severe depression followed. I suffered a disability causing my inability to play music, I hade studied music since age 7, gone through University qualifying as a music teacher and following this studied a Bachelor in Music Voice. It was my life.
After being ill I lost the ability to express myself musically and could no longer play piano, guitar or sing the same way.
My creativity was gone but thank God that I met some amazing people who introduced me to furniture artistry . These wonderful people saved my life and my best friends who encouraged me believed in me, and the medical professionals who pulled me together and made me fight to save myself.
So through finding an alternative therapy to channel my mind, my spirit and my outgoing personality i am where I am today. This story has so much more to it, but that is saved for my novel .
I have been influenced by the beautiful Yarra Valley in Victoria where I grew up, so some of my pieces will be highly influenced by various by either the colours of seasons, French provincial , eclectic designs and fall under different Headings
