About Preloved
Beautiful Preloved Furniture reloved for todays home.
Preloved Description
Furniture restoration and recycling of any kind is very close to my heart so to be able to do something I love by keeping something in the market place, and out of landfill brings me great pleasure.
I look to buy pieces which would blossom and show off its true beauty by the addition of chalk paints and waxes.
Each piece is carefully chosen, cleaned, painted, sanded, waxed and distressed by hand to ensure the piece will not only look beautiful but will last for years to come.
Shabby chic is a form of design where furniture are either chosen for their appearance of age and signs of wear and tear or where new items are distressed to achieve the appearance of an antique. At the same time, a soft, well loved but cottage-style decor, is what set it apart from genuine period pieces.
All our items are carefully hand painted and may show the odd brushstroke or colour variation in paint As with any previously owned piece of furniture there may be the odd bump or mark that comes with age, so please only bid if you like this style of furniture. If you're looking for a brand new item this is not be for you. If like me you adore pre loved vintage pieces with character then this may be perfect
If you are looking for perfection then maybe this is not the style of furniture for you, but if you are looking for perfect imperfection lovingly restored then this may just be for you.
We can also revamp and upcycle your own pieces and can also arrange to restore pieces in your own home Please just inbox us for a quote.
Please note I am fully insured and it is these incidentals that have to be considered when pricing items but I try to ensure that all prices are reasonable and fair at all times
We use only Annie Sloan and Authentico chalk paints and waxes
I travel many miles near and far to source the items I sell and if there is something specific you would like me to look for please ask.
Facebook is just the latest way I have decided to use to sell so please remember any item listed on here will be listed on others sites and may be purchased by a non facebook user. I will over the coming weeks add as many phots as I can but as I spend upto eight hours a day "reloving" I may not always be able to add them on here as quick as I may like.
Any question please feel free to ask

Thank you to the lovely Laura for easing me back in gently with her grandmas lovely nest of vintage tables, asking me to make them over in Paris Grey to match her lovely modern living space and they look perfect Thanks 😀
Hi all you lovely people As you know I have unfortunately been off work with a serious shoulder problem for the last few months and I am pleased to say I have been given permission from my amazing consultant to return to work (abeit light duties). Given the nature of the problem and the procedure I have had, I have of course to take it very easy at first as I am still under the physio, so we have had to rethink our working practices but I will let you all know about that lat...er. I am going to start by reducing the amount of stock I have as my ability to buy didn’t appear hindered !! So that is my first job. We are today having a sort out of my workshop while the sun shines , so expect to see some items listed to make space for me 😀!! Thank you to everyone that sent me good wishes Chris xx

It’s that time of the year again out with the old and in with the new ........It’s New Year 😀😀 I would like to wish all my customers a very Happy New Year. Also an apology for lack of posts, as some of you already aware I managed to inflict on myself a serious rotor cuff injury to my left shoulder five weeks ago, which has left me totally unable to work (and drive 😬). This means I will also be out of action for at least all of January, and for those that know me, know that th...e pain and the boredom is driving me nuts!! I am receiving hospital treatment 🤪🤪🤪 and hopefully this will mean I will be back to normal eventually.!! So please stay in touch and have a fabulous happy and healthy New Year Love Chris @Preloved XXX

Morning lovely people , hope you are all enjoying the extra hour in the UK. Thought I would share a little project of my own. For many weeks now I have tried to source a vintage 1970s teak Sideboard which is the perfect size shape and style I wanted. And here it is, matching in with my colour scheme it has been painted with the newest colour in the Annie Sloan Palette LemLem and then clear waxed. The wooden areas have been sanded back and stained and waxed with new contrastin...g wooden handles added. Perfect for the TV and hides all my bits and I love it ❤️ I would love your thoughts on this fabulous updated piece Chris X

bought a beautiful little unit that Chris @Preloved was selling and absolutely loved it so when I decided our corner unit was looking a bit tired I asked her to do the same finish . it is amazing and such good value too. Wouldn't hesitate to get more of my pine revamped ... toying with getting our very old pine dresser done too :) Thank you so much
Went to pick up my fire surround today, it's fantastic. An amazing transformation and beautiful finish. We are over the moon with it. Thankyou so much xxx
Well what can I say..she turned my grandma's tired looking cabinet into something totally gorgeous..the cabinet my husband wanted to take to the tip..and even he is pleased that we gave it to chris to makeover ..and the little light she fitted inside has made the cabinet come to life...thankyou I can now enjoy for many more years x
Very good quality furniture and workmanship from Preloved - can't recommend highly enough. Bought a beautiful vintage cocktail cabinet and also comissioned to paint up an old pine bookcase and old wooden storage unit - the latter destined for the tip. The bookcase now looks gorgeous in Annie Sloan Paris grey and the old unit is now a beautiful vintage style chest I can't wait to use! Thanks Chris - I will definitely be back for more! Claire x
Transformed a plain wooden table into a shabby chic very country style looking table and 4 beautiful white chairs. Absolutely over the moon thank you so much it's gorgeous xxx
The furniture is amazing, such high quality with a beautiful finish. But even this is out done by the extremely pleasant customer service! Such a lovely lady with such passion for painting! Will certainly be coming back for more and recommending to everyone :)
Thankful for the beautiful mirror we really love it You would not think it had been painted it is so smooth and gorgeous just like brand new. Looks amazing will post a picture later
Second piece bought and both look gorgeous in my home! Thank you so much xxx
Just taken delivery of my bedroom furniture, thank you so much it's beautiful, amazed at the transformation, highly recommend Chris at Preloved, very talented lady
Just bought a fantastic table and four chairs. Absolutely love it, fits perfect and looks fabulous
I had a tired and quite drab looking Lloyd Loom chair transformed into a gorgeous piece, which takes centre stage in my conservatory�. Thanks Chris at Preloved.
Had two radiator covers re-done. Beautiful work, when I need anything else restoring, I'll definitely be going to Preloved. Thank you x
Fantastic service and a lovely, very skilled and talented lady! I would not go anywhere else now, having had seven pieces of furniture upcycled recently. Chris does a great job at great prices. By the time you have bought paint, spent three months deciding where to start and then given up when you've made a mess, you may as well have gone to an expert to begin with. Chris is the lady you need! Highly and unreservedly recommend.
Chris is a fab lady who really knows her stuff. Transformed a tired wardrobe into something amazing!! Cannot recommend highly enough!
Brilliant professional work on both our corner unit and monks bench! And such a lovely lady! Highly recommend!
Bought a beautiful dressing table and Chris has also done two bespoke tables for me, all of which have been amazing! My new motto is "don't throw anything away as Chris can transform it"!!!!
Amazing service, I am completely in love with my new draws. Thankyou so much, I will be buying from you again in the future and I would recommend your business to anybody. Thanks again xxx
Adore my new dressing table chair I have been looking for one that I love for over a year! Lovely lady and brilliant service would definitely recommend and will be keeping an eye out on preloved for more lovely little gems! Thank you Xx
Absolutely thrilled with my kitchen table and chairs, totally transformed! What a talented lady and fantastic quality for money too, one very happy customer :)
