Repurposed vintage, quirky home decor and furniture ...
Welcome to Makermaking, where beautiful imperfections and spirited design meet. If your idea of home décor is a celebration of character, creativity, and sustainable style, you’re in the right place.
I repurpose the vintage into quirky home decor as well as source unusual vintage pieces. Each piece has a past, a personality, and the potential to become part of your home.
Why Repurposed Matters
In a world of the mass-produced, there’s a growing appetite and need for the re-created.
Repurposed vintage décor isn’t just visually captivating, it’s a reflection of values. Choosing pre-loved, thoughtfully restored pieces reduces waste, supports local artisans, and brings authenticity into the spaces we inhabit

The Quirky & Repurposed Decor
I have no idea what will inspire me next ... some vintage 16mmm film canisters in to tables, mirrors, candle holders; old card index drawers in to small tables; repurpose some vintage tennis racket press frames in to jewellery stands, mirrors, shopping list holders; and more.
It's about keeping the object's character and enhancing it with a new purpose, and in a way that I find quirky.
I sell these from my ETSY shop here.
Decorative & Vintage items
An eclectic mix of vintage items. Some gathered over the last 40 years that I have decided to part with, some inherited, and many discovered, bought, cleaned and offered for sale as they appeal to my quirky nature. Stock changes continually, but some of the mainstays are:
- Antique French prints form the 1870's.
- Vintage French keyrings.
- Vintage useful household items
- The bizarre and strange.
- Repurposed industrial items in to new furniture.
I sell these from my ETSY shop here.
Letterpress items
This is a by-product of one of my passions, which will be on sale here and elsewhere soon, letterpress printing and lino printing. As I build my own "stock" of letterpress resources, I come across some great items that while I can't use, I restore for resale.
I sell these both on my ETSY shop and on eBay.
Letterpress & Lino
Should really add "coming soon" to that heading. Rediscovering some of my past joys, I am combining lino printing, letterpress printing with some humour and angst.
These artworks will be offered as limited editions, prints and cards - Coming Soon!
Print Ball Drying Racks - Printmaking drying racks
Yet another by-product! Needing somewhere to dry my work, I looked around at the options. Really liking the print ball drying racks that I found, I did baulk at the pricing ... So having the skills and know-how to make some myself, I did.
So at much less than the price of "my competitors, I now offer these for sale. Find out more here: Print Ball Drying Racks, Printmaking drying racks
