~ Why just ‘make do’ when you can mend? ~

The concept of Rosie Flo, based on my childhood nickname, and the logo - a caricature my Dad drew from a photo of me aged 10 - were created by my parents, who are both tremendously talented artists, in the mid ‘Noughties’.

The business was put on the back-burner for a time, for various reasons, and now I have the honour of reviving it and taking it on to its next chapter: furniture restyling!

Alongside my love for colour and mixed media, I have an ardent fascination with beautiful furniture. I love the beautiful natural variations found in wood, and also the way in which you can revitalise and repurpose a piece that has been neglected, seemingly beyond repair!

I’m no ‘Eco Warrior’ but I care passionately about our planet and the mark I leave on her. As such, I source and repair furniture and other items in order to keep them out of landfill, but also restyle them in a conscientious way; using materials with low to no VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds, or ‘organic chemicals’) and lessening my use of plastic and single use materials where possible.
It’s time to revive the old adage, ‘If it’s broke, fix it’!

And why stop at furniture? Your home is made up of so much more than that. Your trinkets, picture frames and gifts from loved ones all make it the place you love. Why shouldn't all these things reflect you, no matter how many times you grow and change?

I look forward to hearing from you!
