Up-cycling for Charity
OUR WORK
Here's a collection of some of our hard work.
Having comfortable pets is at the heart of what we do. Every bed has a layer of memory foam at the bottom of our thick stuffed cushions which have been lovingly hand made by ourselves.
Personalise it! - each bed comes with its own photo-frame, so your pet can keep you close at all times.

WHAT WE DO
COLLECT
First, we gather various items of furniture from all over Shetland (either bought or donated to us).
UP-CYCLE
Then, we take each one apart (the fun bit!), before sanding it down, gluing, painting, wallpapering and adding our own touch of vintage style
SALE
Finally, the furniture is sold on with every penny for it going to charity
ABOUT US
We are a dynamic mother-daughter duo living on the beautiful and secluded islands of Shetland, located north of Scotland (WAY north of there! Like, if you get to Orkney then keep going; if you hit Norway go slightly left and you'll find us). When we're not building beds, we're working to protect and save the lives of the local people - mam is a HCA on several busy wards in the hospital and I'm an EMT for the ambulance service. Our passion for Shetland and it's wonderful people is matched by our love of animals - particularly dogs with mam owning one lovely little sheltie named Fjana and myself having a pack of six! Five shelties (Fenton, Thiago, Thorin, Gimli, Murphy) and a klee kai (Ghost). You may already have seen photos of them... They're quite famous here for their "posing" in front of a camera.
​
We originally started this project as "a bit of fun" - something to keep us out of mischief when we're not carrying fiery torches at Up-Helly-Aa or roaming the hills with a camera and seven dogs or cruising on our motorbikes (it didn't work... we're still up to no good!). We're often involved with charity and volunteer work, so it was only natural that that our little project be developed into something which could benefit those around us.
The charities who we support pursue a purpose which is very close to our hearts. Being in the job positions that we are, we're often faced with hard and quite emotional situations resulting from ill health. Additionally, I have personally been in a position desperately seeking medical help - from a Vet (my little dog Thiago needed life saving treatment at eight weeks old after suffering a series of severe fitting episodes). The Humanimal Trust combines our devotion for live saving treatment with our love for our four legged family.
We also support a wonderful foundation located half way around the world from us - the Shetland Sheepdog Placement Services of New Jersey! What can we say? Its very touching to find a location so far away that's extremely dedicated to our native breed. They promote positive training of the breed and have worked miracles, saving the lives of many who may have otherwise met a horrible end through no fault of their own.
​
We dedicate this work to our beloved dog Flint - a beautiful Shetland Sheepdog who was taken away from us cruelly and far too soon after being diagnosed with bone cancer.
If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever. One day we'll find a cure
​
We hope you (and more importantly, your pet!) enjoy our beds
