I often team up with a carpenter for those structural fixes—like replacing a broken glass top with a solid wood base—before I start with chalk paints and decorative finishes. Old furniture is never just junk to me. Every scratch and faded patch is a memory, and I love helping you hold onto those stories by turning forgotten pieces into something totally new. Whether you have a 20-year-old chest of drawers that needs a fresh vibe or a small stool begging for a mosaic makeover, I treat it with care. My process is straightforward. We start with a chat about your vision. I use high-quality chalk paints for that soft matte look, but I also love experimenting with cane webbing for texture or adding hand-painted floral motifs. Sometimes I even use mosaic tiles if the piece needs a pop of color. The final step is always sealing the work with varnish or lacquer so it stays protected against moisture and daily wear. I am based in Harlur, Bengaluru, and I am happy to visit your space to see the furniture before we decide on the design. Sometimes an idea does not work out, and I might repaint or change the direction, but that is part of the artistic process. You end up with a piece that is truly yours, not something mass-produced. ## About Rimjhim I am Rimjhim, and I believe old furniture is an emotion waiting for a second life. I have been painting and transforming pieces for over 11 years, and I am always learning—from experimenting with new chalk paints to figuring out the perfect mosaic layout for a stool.
