Welcome to The Furniture Nurse

This is a small business running out of a corner of South-East London. By day I’m a Mental Health Nurse and this business offers me a bit of an artistic break from the challenges of my day at work. It’s a curated shop for people who want their homes to look like they’ve actually been lived in and cared for. I divide my time between the community I work in and the workshop, where I paint and restore the "tired" vintage pieces that most people would walk past.

Right now, I’m focusing more on the smaller vintage homeware and antiques, but the furniture restoration is always ticking away in the background. I find it, I make it beautiful again and I find it a new home.

If you're looking for something unique that wasn't made in a factory last Tuesday, you're in the right place. Everything you see here has been hand-picked because it has character and history.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions and if you have a piece of furniture that needs a bit of love I’m happy to have a conversation.

Thank you

Megan
