We have often shared that we have a passion for restoring & enhancing long-forgotten older furniture that has seen better days. Utilising existing - often beautifully made pieces - reclaiming original, family heirloom or auction pieces back to their former glory. Bringing these pieces into the home, rejuvenating interiors... introducing 'talking points' into our homes. By combining Christie Lloyd's wonderful fabrics with time-tested craftsmanship, we lovingly enhance old pieces of furniture.
Dovetailing perfectly with the homeware ranges that you love Christie Lloyd for, we are developing and meticulously planning a motivating range of imaginative talks, demonstrations and interactive workshops. Designed to inspire your own creative home projects, these events and products will be known under the banner Christie Lloyd Bee Creative
