Sunday Roast!

Couldn’t help myself with this one 😏

Story time!

I never managed to list this for sale when I completed it a few weeks ago due to the glass having a small crack 😱

I must have done it whilst bringing it home in the back of my car, driving like Colin McRae and didn’t notice it until I was staging it.

With it being vintage glass, AND leading detail, it’s not an easy or cheap fix. Code red.

After an initial quote of over £200, my mum managed to find a leaded and stained glass expert fairly close by who quoted less than half that. Thank goodness! I removed the door and popped over to his workshop. What a lovely chap he was, very helpful and got the job done rather quickly.

So…happy to say this is finally up for sale on the website - I’ll pop the link in the comments below if you want to have a nosy.

Don’t forget: shipping is included to most parts of the UK 💙

Just had to share my view from this mornings walk.

I absolutely love autumn, anyone else?

I love this shot ❤️

Lots of people agreed that red was the perfect choice for this bench - looks a little bit Christmassy (sorry if it’s too early for the C word yet!

I’ll add the link for the red I used in the comments

New video alert!

I went full cottage core on this one. I knew it had to be red as soon as I clapped eyes on it! Absolutely love that scalloped back and I’m definitely tempted to keep it 😆

If you want to see the transformation I’ll add the link to the video in the comments 👇🏼

This dresser just got the grunge apothecary treatment — layers of murky greens, moody vibes, and a dash of chaos. Perfectly imperfect, beautifully battered, and definitely not your nan’s furniture finish! #

The best part of having a furniture addiction is finding pieces you totally forgot you bought 😆

I got this years ago and it’s been tucked away in one of my storage units ever since. You know I love this style of furniture - chunky, rustic, complete with those little handles you all love 😉

Currently stripping the wax ready for some much needed colour!

About FAFF Designs

I'm Connie the owner of FAFF Designs. I developed a love of upcycling and painting furniture a few years ago whilst on maternity leave with my son. Since then my business has grown from strength to strength. I have attended multiple workshops to learn and perfect new and advanced painting techniques as well as developing a few of my own! I only use the best products which I try and test thoroughly. I work from our home which is in Tutbury, a rural village in Staffordshire, Midlands. I have a background in Art and Design - Art was my favourite subject at school so it was a natural path to pursue this onto my A-Levels then onto Art College. I then went to Leeds University and studied Theatre Design. I have always wanted to use my creative skills for something but never really found the right thing until now: my love for art and creating mixed with my love for vintage furniture! It also makes me incredibly happy that the pieces I use are re-used and not thrown away. Most of them are just dated and drab but given a lick of paint and some FAFF treatment they're ready to adorn your home once again! I recently won the ‘Fliprunway Faux Finish Refinishing Artist of the Year sponsored by Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint’ award. These new awards aim the raise the bar on the Refinishing & Upcycling Industry and I’m thrilled to have my work recognised. As well as the pieces you see for sale, I offer a commission service. I can either paint something you already own or am happy to source something bespoke for you. I do hold some unpainted items in storage so please do get in touch if you’re after something specific. Collection is welcome from my home in Tutbury, Staffordshire or I offer a nationwide courier service.

I often get asked about the products that I use. My paint stockist is Shabby Nook and they shop paint products and accessories nationwide. You can find them at
