The passion for carpentry began during the pandemic. Inspired by photos and videos on the web, I made a whole kitchen cupboard. Then, I created outdoor furniture and finally my first console. I've been interested in decorative techniques for a while to take my mind off work. Combining carpentry and decorating experience, I left my veterinary medicine practice and rented a room for a workshop. 

In addition, I opened an art studio where I conducted master classes in repainting furniture and decorating interior items. I had my online shop for paints for furniture and various decorative materials, a small staff, and a wide range of new acquaintances, including distance online thanks to a blog about creativity. The studio allowed me to try many different techniques and materials, to get acquainted with manufacturers of goods, and to choose the best for my work.

Not long ago, I decided to focus solely on console tables. I am infinitely inspired by working with wood, its smell, warmth, and artisan "soul". I am deeply convinced that there is room for the console table in every house. It creates a mood like a vase with flowers or a blanket, while performing the function of a table, becoming a necessary piece of furniture for the placement of keys, handbags, seasonal decorations, favorite books, decorations, lamps, candles, figurines, souvenirs, vases, and other decorative details.

   I used to exclusively create white Skandi-style "consoles" for a long time, but I've now completely shifted to incorporating more color, drawings, and stucco decor, resulting in a recognizable combination. It takes me about two weeks to make one table if it's a repeat. However, I'm constantly experimenting with colors and textures, always searching for new design options.
