About Est.Living

Hi, I’m Fiona, a furniture restorer based in the Wye Valley, with over a decade of hands-on experience bringing character and craftsmanship back to life. My passion for furniture began with a chest of drawers made by my grandad, the first piece I ever restored. From that moment, I was hooked. What started as a personal hobby of collecting and repairing antiques has grown into a full-time profession, rooted in curiosity, care, and a deep respect for history. 

Over the years, I’ve developed my skills through a mixture of practice, trial and error, and specialist training courses. I have a particular love for Arts & Crafts, Art Deco, and Mid-Century design, but I work across a wide range of styles and periods. Whether I’m carefully restoring a much-loved family heirloom, sourcing distinctive furniture for interior designers, or preserving historic pieces, my goal is always the same: to honour the story of each object while ensuring it has a place in the present.
