Welcome
Loved, painted & ready for a new home
Thank you for visiting my site — I’m so pleased you’re here. I’m Helena, and I run Little Sussex Workshop from my workshop near Horsham, where I lovingly paint and transform second-hand furniture by hand, giving each piece a fresh new look ready for its next 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.

About me
A passion for giving furniture a second life
I’m Helena, and I run Little Sussex Workshop from my workshop near Horsham. 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.
