WORKSHOP PROJECT CLOSURE

It’s with great sadness that we share the closure of “The Workshop” at Community Furniture Store, Scarborough.

This amazing project has been solely funded through grants, and sadly, we’ve not been able to secure the funding needed to keep it going.

To our incredible volunteers and staff, thank you for your creativity, time, and dedication. Your contributions brought to life so many amazing repurposed and upcycled pieces.

And to our wonderful community, thank you for your generous donations over the years. From tools and paint to preloved items, your support meant the world to us.

This walnut serpentine front chest of drawers was a really special piece of furniture for us to work on. Due to the wood being such high quality and the age of the piece, it underwent a restoration in the Workshop rather than being upcycled or repurposed. Not surprisingly, as soon as it went on to the shop floor it sold!

We've had a move around in the shop and added this beautiful farmhouse kitchen shelving unit. It's got lots of useful little drawers and is painted in a lovely sage colour. Green is very popular at the moment and we have other items in different shades. This piano stool has been re-upholstered with a multi green wool blend fabric and the retro side table is painted in a striking forest green colour.

This one of a kind retro formica coffee table has found a new home. We revamped the top surface with a multi colour geometric design that incorporates some of the original finish. The legs are painted to match, dark navy and one yellow to make it that bit different.

Look at this new item from the workshop, a stunning upcycled chest of drawers. The frame has been painted in a vibrant red and the top papered with a decadent bird design. Danish oil has been applied to the oak drawers to enhance the grain. To finish the piece, we've added gold leaf to the top and the drawer handles. Isn't this a beautiful piece of furniture?

Our repurposed dressing table is giving summer vibes! We transformed this rickety ink stained old school desk by adding new feet, priming and then painting the wood with a bright pink called Rhubarb. The compartments and lids have been lined with a tropical bird of paradise paper and two coats of matt varnish applied for protection. Finishing touches of gold wax, glass liners in the inkwell compartments and round mirrors under both lids bring this piece together.

Our workshop volunteers have been working hard producing some amazing and unique items for your home. We are always updating stock in our shop area and often items fly out very quickly. The lovely chest of drawers with the lady and flowers has already been snapped up!
