West End Chin Wags

I managed to scrape a couple of hours together during October break (now a distant memory!!) to go visit Native Flowers and have a wee peak at my artwork and tables in situ. 

I think you'll agree that Jenny and Noreen have created a great display in the shop & their shop is looking as lovely as ever with their beautiful seasonal flowers and arrangements.

Latest Acquisitions - sneak peek

here's a wee batch of furniture that will keep me busy through the winter!  


If you fancy one of these pieces mail me at sheilaboyle67@gmail.com to discuss design options.  But be quick, I've already started.....

cute little dining chair circa 50's/60's.
I plan to reveal some of the lovely wood
and give it a contemporary lift
with paint and some fresh upholstery.

Function with Form! Nest of 3 occasional tables from the G-Plan range.
Very solid with rectangular tops and lovely curvaceous lines on the legs.

I'm thinking bold and bright for the design on these!

Unique, beautifully designed
and very cool Nathan coffee table
from the mid-century

simple but elegant G-Plan chest of drawers.

These are a commission piece to
revamp and give them a contemporary 'lift'
..... watch this space!

I see this smart little 1050's/60's bedside table
from Lebus Furniture Manufacturers
spreading its wings to many areas in the home:
hall, lounge, bathroom and of course bedroom
.... where do you see it?

Another elegant and unusual glass topped circular coffee table
from Nathan Furniture...
I have two of these which could be commissioned as a set.

Approx 82cm in diameter they would work
beautifully individually as a central piece to a sitting room
or as a set of side tables for the lounge.

lean and lovely long-john table... guess what era... mid-century!

This one has a lipped-end top and a lower shelf.
Excellent for afternoon tea or evening drinkies!
It could even serve as a very individual
alternative stand for your lovely flat screen tv...how modern!

simple little side table/small coffee table
 I'm planning a decorative motif for this one
... still deciding colour...
what would you choose?

love love love these chest of drawers.
I've still to track down manufacturer (possibly McIntosh or G Plan) Definitely mid-century and I'm really going to funk these up.

...can't wait!

Interesting Insights from Parade Artists group (WASPS) studios

Parade Artists - We’ve Made it Through Our First Show! Creative Scotland is such a brilliant resource of useful info for up and coming (or even established) artists and designers. I can't wait for the holidays so I've got time to read this!!!

Gone Native!

well, to Native Flowers to be precise...  

...I met the lovely Noreen & Jenny whilst checking out the Little Birds Market with FionaPrints a couple of months ago.  We got talking and Noreen owns and runs Native Flowers which is a lovely aromatic florist based in Hyndland in the West End of Glasgow.

I'm very pleased to say that some of my stitched artwork and Revampt tables will be on display and for sale through at Noreen's shop...exciting times!

A Little Birdie has just told me...

I'll be appearing at the Little Birds Market at Sloan's in Glasgow City Centre again this coming Sunday 9th October with a selection of tables, towers and stitched artworks...time to get busy busy with it!

Commissions & Bespoke Service

Teenie Towers

Do you have your child’s first precious pair of jeans hid away in a cupboard or loft?

Rather than store them away, you can commission a bespoke tower to remind yourself of that of that special time, as your someone small grows tall!

Fat Fit Feature

Reached your target weight and never want to go back there again?

Rather than take the risk of going back 'there', why not commission a bespoke fabulous feature and convert those ‘fat-fit’ jeans into a towering testimony of your success!

Snapshot Stitch

Got a rarely seen snapshot of 
a special person, day or scene 
which is just stored away in 
a photo album or computer?  




Commission a unique piece 
of stitched artwork so you can 
display your special memory 
in a creative way.

Commissions for bespoke projects can take 2 - 4 weeks, subject to demand, and 4 - 6 weeks prior to Christmas.  Contact me at sheilaboyle67@gmail.com for a quote and delivery requirements.

revampt furniture

The lastest additions to the furniture range lovely little petal shaped occasional tables from the Nathan range of furniture.  

I stripped off all the old finish (truly a labour of love - but worth it!)then set to work creating a bespoke stencil for some of the tables.  I mixed up a luscious lime green paint, applied it, finishing in varnish for durability then wax to bring out the natural rich lustre of the wood. 




There are two tables available in this finish and they would make a lovely addition to the home as bedside tables, side tables for the sofa or just to brighten up a little corner!


















For the remaining two of the tables I went for a simple finish of the lime green on the legs and underside of the table.




I think the vibrant colour gives these gorgeous mid-century pieces a contemporary feel.
