A MUM-OF-TWO has opened a furniture showroom in the town centre where no two pieces are the same.

Natalie Berryman is the owner of Ethan & Grace’s Designs, and recently moved her business from London back to her hometown.

The 36-year-old from Orford, paints one-off finds that she sources from all over the UK and now sells them from her Crown Street workshop and showroom.

The business is named after her two children and Natalie is expecting her third child in November.

Natalie paints mainly vintage and retro finds but also a number of modern pieces.

She said: “I tend to be drawn to a piece of furniture rather quickly then the colours and design follow, this makes my furniture unique as the chances are very slim I’ll come across a second piece twice.”

The former teaching assistant started out by painting her kitchen cupboard four years ago and quickly realised she had found her passion.

Natalie explained: “I have no background in art, I just came across some furniture paint and started on my cupboard and really loved it.

“From hand-picking the furniture to getting it delivered to transforming it, the whole process of this journey is what I love.”

Her favourite pieces to upcycle are mid-century to modern finds which she says ‘are made so well they will never fall apart’.

The appointment-only style business allows Natalie, who runs Ethan & Grace’s by herself, to upcycle in her workshop and paint room and ‘get everything done’.

Natalie’s career change also helped her build more of her life around her children.

She said: “I have lived in London for 15 years but when the archway space became available in Warrington I decided it was time to move back.

“It has been a bit crazy moving the business, house and being pregnant but it is worth it.”

She now has pieces in Italy, France and Spain and will be showcasing her work for a third time at Grand Designs Live in Birmingham - being a finalist in five award categories this year.
