When Helen Leppert, 34, from Birkdale, went on maternity leave last year she knew she'd have to stretch her budget, but didn't realise she would find a hobby that would change her home into something truly unique.
Initially seeking "some creative projects" to keep herself occupied, Helen found herself transforming weathered old furniture into colourful and fun pieces that really make a statement.
She told the ECHO: "Buying new furniture was immediately out of the question. I thought upcycling would be a fun way to create unique pieces of furniture that nobody else would have without spending lots of money."
