This wallpaper ♥️

This job was a joy - the company, the chat and the pastries.

But working with this wallpaper was such a pleasure.

It’s beautiful 🤩

Happy Friday folks!

Here’s the thing.

It’s ok to need help getting your home to where you need it to be so you can enjoy it.

This is coming up time and time again. You know how to do it you just can’t start.

Life is busy, you’ve been ill, you’ve have family troubles, work issues, you’re frozen with indecision, overwhelm and exhaustion.

If only you could sort out the spare room you would have somewhere to escape to - to read, to craft, to meditate, to exercise.

If only you could find a way to store stuff you could invite people round and they’d have somewhere to sit and eat and relax.

It’s not just you - I see it time and time again.

Sometimes you just need someone to sot with you and help you - some dedicated time with someone who will gently support you and put systems in place so it’s easy to keep it that way.

This is what me and do and the results are immensely satisfying. Yes the space is much better to live in but the head space it creates is where you can really feel the difference.

If you’d like a free minute chat to see whether we can help drop me or Ruth a message.

Any more tips? Hot weather protocol initiated 🥵

From jumble sales, to car boots to book selling apps to clothes swaps ♻️

and I have been trying out some sustainable options for getting rid of your stuff!

Hi, I’m Claire - happy owner of Copper K***s Interiors.

Not always an heirloom!

I’m gonna put it out there I love working on pieces that have a sentimental link to the customer but sometimes you just want a piece to look better.

This piece had had a layer of lime wax applied but it hadn’t taken very well as it was a veneer rather than a grained wood.

The only way to get wax off is wire wool and methylated spirits so that took a while.

Then I sanded the old varnish back and the customers came round to the workshop to have a look. I showed them what it would look like with a clear varnish and also a raw varnish which had a slight white pigment in so keeps it as light as you can.

They went for the raw varnish and it’s back to being a neat, straightforward stylish piece.

Now I’m allowed to get on with my next piece which I’m so excited about 🤩! Keep an eye out!

Kids are great at choosing colours that make them happy ❤️

This is another great transformation for a kids bedroom and what I love the most is the unexpected cosy nook.

Perfect 👌

Sometimes a room is sent to
challenge me!

This was one of those rooms! I like to look at it as a learning experience 😂

This one had a crack across the ceiling and loads of hairline cracks on the walls. I used my usual process - see my blog post (link in bio) for the step by step guide.

The ceiling was lined so I needed to cut the lining paper out before scraping out any loose plaster.

There was a patch of old wallpaper left from behind the old radiator and when I removed the failing caulk there were some big gaps between the skirting and the wall.

Finally where the ceiling meets the wall on two sides it was curved which meant I needed to get the spirit level and masking tape out to get a good edge.

All in all it has turned out beautifully!
