Notes, finds and the occasional
mistake

Short pieces about what has come in, what sold quickly and what Fiona has learned the hard way. Written when there is something worth saying rather than to a schedule.

Looking after old furniture in a centrally heated house

Most antique furniture was made for cold, damp rooms. Modern heating is the thing most likely to damage it.

Getting a good finish with Frenchic on a kitchen table

A kitchen table is one of the hardest things to paint well, mostly because of what happens before the paint goes anywhere near it.

When to paint furniture and when to leave it alone

Some pieces are much better for a coat of paint. Others lose most of their value the moment a brush touches them.

How to spot a genuine Victorian pine chest

A few checks you can do in a couple of minutes, none of which need any tools.
