Our Origins

At Rediscovered by Danielle, I believe beautiful furniture deserves more than one lifetime.

 

From my workshop in Lichfield, Staffordshire, I carefully select vintage and antique furniture and give each piece a new lease of life. Through thoughtful restoration, refinishing and hand painting, I transform furniture that may otherwise have been forgotten into unique pieces ready to become part of a modern home.

 

My approach to furniture upcycling in Lichfield isn't about simply covering something old with a coat of paint. Every piece is considered individually. I look at its shape, character, original features and history before deciding how best to bring it back to life.

 

Celebrating the History of Vintage Furniture

One of the things I love most about working with upcycled vintage furniture is discovering the story that already exists within each piece.

 

Vintage furniture has had a life before it reaches my workshop, and I believe that history should be celebrated rather than erased. Makers' marks, original features and even handwritten notes from the people who originally manufactured a piece can sometimes still be found.

 

That's why you may notice that I don't always paint the backs of my furniture. Those little marks and details are part of its history, and they're something I don't want to hide.

 

Giving Beautiful Furniture a New Lease of Life

Upcycling allows quality furniture to be enjoyed all over again.

 

Rather than allowing beautifully made pieces to be discarded or sent to landfill, I restore and reimagine them for today's homes. It's a more sustainable way to furnish your home while also choosing something with far more individuality than mass-produced furniture.

 

Whether a piece is transformed with a contemporary hand-painted finish or carefully refinished to celebrate its natural wood, the aim is always the same: to create furniture that respects its past while being ready for its future.

 

Experience, Craftsmanship and Attention to Detail

With years of experience creating upcycled and hand-painted furniture, I understand how important it is to choose the right piece, create a design that complements its character and achieve a beautiful finish that's made to last.

 

Every item is carefully worked on at my Lichfield workshop, with attention given to both the overall design and the smaller details that make each piece special.

 

The result is individual furniture with character, history and a story that simply can't be recreated by something brand new.

 

From Lichfield to Homes Across the UK

Rediscovered by Danielle is based in Lichfield, Staffordshire, but my furniture doesn't have to stay local.

 

I work with a select number of trusted furniture couriers who can deliver pieces across the country, helping make the process of buying unique vintage furniture as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
