Furniture with a past, a future & a story.
Welcome
Loved, painted & ready for a new home
I’m Helena — and this is my workshop in Shipley, West Sussex. I source and transform second-hand furniture by hand, giving each piece a new lease of life before finding it a new home.
I take on bespoke commissions too — if you have a piece you’d love to see transformed, I’d love to hear about it. Every piece is unique and priced individually.
Source & Restore
I source quality second-hand furniture and restore each piece by hand, transforming it into something beautiful and ready for its next home.
Paint & Transform
Using quality paints and finishes, I transform tired pieces into something beautiful — each one unique and full of character.
Bespoke Commission
Have a piece you’d love to see transformed? I take on bespoke commissions — get in touch to discuss your vision.
About Me
A passion for giving furniture a second life
I’m Helena, and I run Little Sussex Workshop from my workshop in Shipley, West Sussex. What started as a passion for giving unloved furniture a second chance has grown into something I absolutely love doing every day.
I source quality pieces, paint and transform them by hand, and find them new homes with people who love them as much as I do. No two pieces are ever the same — and that’s what makes it so special.
Whether you’re looking for something unique for your home, or have a piece you’d love to see transformed, I’d love to hear from you.
