Reclamtion Barn May2011
The Reclamation Barn is now fully stocked with Treasures from bygone times. Andrew Grimston has now taken on the barn and has been working hard to source an eclectic mix of stock from all over the country. He has sourced and Reclaimed items from Pine Dressers, Victorian Linen Press, Butchers Blocks, and lots of old and unusual items. With the emphasis on Reclaiming items and then bringing them back to life by using Farrow and Ball paints, and Rydnor stains he is transforming items that looked old and outdated to bring items up to the current trend. This blends very well with the array of Architectural salvage and reclaimed building materials we have for sale With the motto. Invest in the Future - Recycle the Past. Andrew has something for everyone why not pop down and have a good old rummage around. www.frenchfurnituredreams.co.uk
