Hi, a warm welcome to Upcycled by M! I am Rebecca and my husband and I run a family business upcycling furniture. We are based in Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire.

Do you have a cherished heirloom you want bringing back to life?

Or perhaps you have a piece of furniture that now looks tired and dated and could do with a makeover? Or maybe you are looking for a bespoke farmhouse table or dining set with matching custom made benches/ chairs?

Then you have come to the right place! We also make bespoke handcrafted items, such as beautiful chunky wooden shelves and breakfast bars

Painted-To-Order Farmhouse Furniture

I source characterful secondhand farmhouse tables, extendable tables and chairs, then refinish them in your chosen colour and finish - created especially for your space.

How It Works -

Let Upcycled by M Transform your Furniture

A simple, thoughtful process designed to make commissioning painted furniture feel easy and enjoyable from start to finish.

STEP 1

1. Enquire

Tell me about your piece or the furniture you're looking for. You can share photos, measurements and inspiration so I can understand your vision.

STEP 2

2. Design Together

We choose colours, finishes and details that suit your home. I’ll guide you through options to create a timeless result you’ll love for years.

STEP 3

3. Careful Restoration

Each piece is carefully prepared, repaired where needed, and professionally painted using durable, high-quality finishes.

STEP 4

4. Delivered & Enjoyed

Your finished furniture is ready to return home — beautifully restored and ready for everyday living.

Every piece is painted to order - never mass-produced.

Thoughtful Craftsmanship, Inspired by Farmhouse Living

Upcycled By M was created from a lifelong love of furniture with history and character. Growing up surrounded by antiques and now living in a farmhouse on the edge of the Cotswolds, I believe the most beautiful homes are filled with pieces that feel personal, timeless and lived in.

Every item I work on — whether a cherished family piece or a carefully sourced farmhouse table — is restored with patience, care and attention to detail. My aim is never to follow trends, but to create finishes that feel calm, elegant and at home for years to come.

By choosing to upcycle rather than replace, clients not only preserve meaningful furniture but also make a more sustainable choice for their homes.

Each piece is painted by hand, finished to order, and created to be used and loved every day.

Upcycled by M makes bespoke farmhouse furniture…

Our bespoke farmhouse furniture combines timeless craftsmanship with a cozy, cottage-inspired aesthetic, tailored to complement any home.

Each piece is thoughtfully designed and hand-finished to breathe new life into salvaged materials, creating unique, sustainable furniture that tells a story.

With a focus on quality and elegance, we ensure your furniture is both beautiful and built to last.

Our farmhouse tables are all pre-loved/ second-hand and we carefully source lots of different sizes and styles to suit your requirements.

We believe by upcycling second hand tables, we are able to offer a truly unique and sustainable option.
