The Blue Willow Story
Hi, I’m Mel, I live with my husband and three children on the beautiful Sapphire Coast NSW, Australia.
I’ve been upcycling and painting furniture for over 10 years. I have a passion for giving an old, unwanted piece of furniture new life.
Painting furniture started as a hobby. Something to do while I was home with the children. We had dark brown dated furniture. I was desperate for new … but couldn’t afford the price tag. I attended a furniture painting workshop... and I was addicted! I painted all of our furniture piece, piece by piece, room by room. The sense of achievement was amazing, particularly for my mental health.
Painting was my newfound love and saviour. I found the benefits of painting supported me through times of struggle and uncertainty. It not only relieved my stress and anxiety, it also increased my sense of worth and accomplishment. I honestly believe it helped with my healing. I decided to combine my love of teaching with my passion for painting.
I realised I could pass on my knowledge to others and started furniture painting workshops. It allowed women a lovely day out learning a new skill.
I now offer a large variety of workshops where we create take home projects in my home studio.
I hope you are inspired and empowered to make a start on your painting journey.
