Brick & Click
I have been painting furniture for myself and my family for years before I started my business back in 2014. I have always loved vintage furniture and I have a passion for recycling, nothing saddens me more than seeing perfectly good, sturdy furniture ending up in the local tip because the owner hasn't had the vision to up cycle it or felt that no one else would want it.
As often happens in business the business deviates from where it started and I started making minifigure frames which are now the main focus of my etsy shop.
I opened my first bricks and mortar shop in 2016 and we celebrated our 2nd year in the shop in Ruthin, North Wales, last February, which will also be my 4th year in business as State of Distress. And we have more exciting adventures planned businesswise for 2018 so stay tuned!
UPDATE!
As from July we are moving our bricks and mortar side of the business to a much bigger premises, still in Ruthin, where we will do additional things like hold craft classes and furniture painting classes. Exciting times ahead!
