For the fourth year running, Feast Watson's Re-Love project, which raises funds for the Salvos, has enlisted the help of several designers to transform an old piece of furniture into a unique piece. Furniture designer Mark Tuckey, bedlinen brand Kip & Co, interiors stylist Aimee Tarulli and Scandi-chic company Norsu Interiors are among the makeover mavens this year, creating items that will be auctioned on Ebay from August 25th. Designer Kristine Franklin took this battered console cabinet (above) and has made it a thing of beauty! For more on this great charity project, click here.
