my-fy

I’ve always felt the need for creativity – if it’s not painting a piece of vintage furniture, or crocheting a blanket, it’s baking a cake, creating sweet treats or making chutney.

Seeing the beauty in the ordinary – I can’t go for a walk without noticing the beauty in the detail of a leaf, a flower, or an insect, whist also being aware of the expanse of the bigger picture, the sky and light generally. The feeling of being in the moment and taking photographs is my way of ‘holding the moment’.

Travel – not too far, short weekend breaks are my thing. Escaping the humdrum of modern working life, it’s essential for a re-boot.

Mother of three grown up lads, design conscious, comfort loving with simple living aspirations. With a background in interior design, I have worked managing an art gallery for the past 20 years.

Myfy, short for Myfanwy, lends itself perfectly to categorise my eclectic mix of interests. As a Welsh speaker, ‘my’ in Welsh is ‘fy’ – hope you get my drift …… ‘my-fy’ – my furniture, fy dodrefn.

I hope you find something of interest on this website or alternatively it inspires you to pick up your paint brush and bring those old items of furniture to life with a modern twist.
