Watching your business evolve from nothing is very rewarding. I started my business from my spare room selling vintage clothing then expanding to vintage furniture. As my business grew I realised that it had potential so I found a small unit close by. For months I filled the small space floor to ceiling with furniture, searching junk shops, auctions carboot sales etc. I began listing all of the items on ebay and had a good following and steady sales. The unit next door became available and although it was much bigger I took the gamble and moved there. I have since changed the space and it makes a great backdrop for styling and photography. I have my own unique office which I designed myself sourcing reclaimed materials including some huge bifold doors which came from an old school in Wales. The place is freezing in winter but somehow I manage to layer up and focus on selling my items. There are always ups and downs setting up a business but the secret is to
have confidence in what you do but most of all a passion for it to.
Starting from scratch and persevering is worth while. Don't give up and keep thinking of fresh ideas. It helped me having a qualification in Interior design but anyone can do it if they put their minds to it.
The doors from storage in Wales to installation and final preparation.
