Upcycled by M, helping you to create your ideal home interior, with bespoke farmhouse furniture.

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

Let Upcycled by M Transform your Furniture

A simple, guided process designed to make commissioning furniture feel easy and considered, and reassuring from start to finish.

STEP 3

3. Careful Restoration

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

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

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.

Many clients come to me with furniture they don’t want to replace - pieces that are well-made, meaningful, or simply too good to discard, but no longer feel right in their home.

The focus is always on creating finishes that feel calm, timeless and at home in your space for years to come.
