Lynda Goldhawk - owner

There comes a moment when your house is full, your garage is full and you're looking for more space.  I just couldn't stop buying what I loved.  I thought other people might love it too.  After years of collecting and furnishing my own home with restored second-hand finds and antiques, the idea of opening my own shop occurred.  Such were the beginnings of Antiquated Joys. 

Located on the home farm, a renovated building is the new home of Antiquated Joys.  The shop is brimming full with one-of-a-kind hand painted pieces.  Tables, cupboards, dressing tables, mirrors, the stock is ever-changing!

The decorative painting is what makes this shop truly unique.  Lynda has had a paint brush in her hand for as long as she can remember. Restoring old pieces with a hand painted look is the perfect way to mingle the two things she loves.  "I can't bear to throw something away when I can see the potential in it.  A fresh coat of paint and some pretty flowers painted on it can totally change the look of an old dresser".  People often ask where I get my things.  Anywhere, and everywhere, I say, I always have my eye out." 

My clients also bring me their own pieces.  I will paint and decorate it to their liking. Lynda has also been operating a stencilling business for 10 years.  She will come to your home and consult with you to find just the right look. It's an affordable and unique alternative to wallpaper. 
 

Come and visit our warm and inviting shop of Antiquated Joys.
