Treasures ready for a second life

A tiny barn full of things worth keeping — antiques, original paintings, ornaments, lamps and pieces of we've restored ourselves (or plan to ... ).

What's inside Plan a visit

Nothing here arrived new.

Everything in the barn has been somewhere before — and most of it will outlast whatever you'd buy flat-packed this weekend. We repair what's sound, repaint what needs it, and leave alone anything that's earned its marks.

Come and open the drawers. That's what they're for.

What's inside

Our own work

Furniture Revival

I love to take tired old pieces of furniture and strip them back, ideally to the original wood,but where that's not possible I like to paint them in fashionable colours. I love solid, strong furniture that looks like it's had a good life — because it has.

Always changing

Antique & Vintage Treasures

Our lovely hoard is growing weekly. Come in for one thing and leave with another.

One of each

Original Artwork

Paintings and prints from artists of long ago. With the frames restored, they are perfect and ready to hang.

By the till

Greetings Cards by Hannah Barrett

Hannah is well known to people in Kirkby Lonsdale for her quirky watercolour paintings.

Built here

Crafted Lamps

Lamps made from scratch or revived using beautiful old bases. With bright eye catching fabrics or vintage-style shades.

Looking for something restoring?

We can have a chat about your options.

Most things can be revived. A wobbly joint or a tired finish are not a reason to throw them away.

Send a photo

Email or message us a couple of pictures and rough measurements.

Repair, then finish

Structure first, colour second. You'll get progress photos, and it comes back to you looking refreshed and matching your style.
