FORGOTTEN GEMS started off, in 2013, as a way for me to furnish my own home on a budget. I've always loved the look of real wooden furniture and so I bought my first gem...

Once I'd painted my first piece, I was hooked. I loved the fact each piece had its imperfections that told its unique story. People started asking where my pieces were from and many were shocked when I told them that they'd been done by little old me.

​

It was not long before I was getting requests from friends and family, either to source them a piece or paint them a FORGOTTEN GEM of their own. From there the business began to grow.

​

Today I source pieces from all over Europe and give them a new lease of life, ready for the next chapter of their story.
