Lady Griddlebone Vintage Originals

When you restore and restyle vintage furniture, it’s never about ticking boxes. Every piece is different, it responds in a different way, is of a different style and is recreated for a different client, each with their own very specific and distinctive requirements. What has to remain a constant is the outcome: a high quality transformation that delights and will be treasured for decades to come. Where decoupage is involved, when the paper used sports a design which has already proved its longevity, so much the better. It’s a given therefore that any designs which originated from the brush of William Morris will not only be a joy to work with, they will provide enduring appeal. We recently celebrated William Morris’ 190th birthday - a polymath famous (and infamous) for being a new age thinker and his ‘Have nothing in your house’ quote. If you’re interested in learning more about his views on the decorative arts, this article from The Tribune Magazine provides a fascinating insight. It includes one of his lectures where he lays out his vision of art created by and for the people, his words resonating across time: https://lnkd.in/e5puMkbj But for me, as a creative, it’s always his designs which make him so unique, each one incredibly intricate, balanced and surprising. Whilst they’re traditional, they also sit beautifully in modern surroundings. So if by now you’re feeling inspired and would like your current furniture or a newly sourced piece to find joy with a William Morris design, get in touch. Whatever we create, you will most certainly know to be beautiful and believe to be useful: www.ladygriddlebone.com. #williammorris #wallpaper #timelessdesign #decoupage #interiors
