At That Flipping Studio, I live for transformation stories—and this one starts with a house move, a favour from a friend, and a bench that was hiding some serious potential. When I first laid eyes on this church pew-style bench, it was buried under multiple thick layers of white paint. The structure was solid, the shape had charm, and best of all—it had a lift-up seat with hidden storage. But it needed love. A lot of it.

Because creativity doesn’t like to sit still. I wanted to challenge myself to push the boundaries of design, keep things fresh, and give you something to look forward to week after week. Whether it's a small homeware piece or something a little bolder, each product reflects the unique, industrial-luxe aesthetic that That Flipping Studio is known for.

The mirror was detached from its frame, and the frame was detached from the body of the dresser, and each section—two tapered side panels and a central mirror piece —needed some TLC before it could reclaim its place of pride.

Introducing: 3D Resincrete Letters from That Flipping Studio. Yes. Letters. But not like, "boring old alphabet" letters. These are high-end, gold-flecked, concrete-finished, shelf-styling, baby-naming, mood-setting, passive-aggressive-message-leaving letters. And they’re ready to elevate your home one sassy syllable at a time.

You know that gut feeling when you just know you’ve found something special under the layers of ancient paint and dust? That’s how I felt when I collected this old Art Deco dresser from the house of an elderly gentleman who had recently passed, layered thick with coats of white paint.

I’m beyond excited to introduce you to the latest creation from my small business, That Flipping Studio: a new range of handmade homewares, crafted from resincrete and finished with a signature cement and gold marble effect. This collection is all about texture, tone, and a little touch of rebellion.
