Lea Davis and Carolyn Ballantine are both friends and business partners who, between them have an impressive 45 years experience in the Decorative Art field.
As leaders in their chosen profession, their natural flair and talent has seen them become successful teachers, authors, designers and publishers, both internationally and here in Australia.

Always ready to use their creativity to find new, original and interesting ways to use their skills, Lea and Carolyn recently decided to explore a niche in the market by restoring, recycling and beautifying pre-loved
"found" furniture and creating other surfaces to decorate. The result of which is their uniquely beautiful, one of a kind "designer" hand painted items.

"We think there is great satisfaction in finding pieces that were once of another's lifetime.
Then we have the opportunity to recreate a new story for now, today and
the future."


Each piece is painted freehand using high quality artists paints and mediums. Lea and Carolyn's sense of tradition or whimsy transforms each project into a uniquely stunning yet functional piece of art. As the painting progresses a story often emerges and this, along with attention to detail, symbolic meaning and unexpected touches, gives each item its own unique and magical personality.

As their designs are never repeated, each is a truly special "one-off" item designed with a clever use of color, flair and imagination to make a statement and give a distinctive "wow" factor to your personal space.
