Welcome to our brand-new website and blog! If you’ve followed us from our Etsy Shop, thank you for continuing to support our journey. If you’re visiting us for the first time, we are so glad you’re here.
We wanted our very first blog post to share a bit about who we are, why we love what we do, and the exciting plans we have for the future.
What We Do & What We Love
At Rattanwaves, we believe in giving furniture a second life and adding a unique and creative piece to your home.
Right now, our shop focuses on three main passions:
- High-Quality Rattan: From modern accents to timeless weaves, great for DIY projects or restoring classic pieces.
- Upcycled Furniture: Recycled, restyled and restored pieces that bring charm, character, and sustainability into your space.
-
Fusion Mineral Paint Supplies: The ultimate tool for DIY enthusiasts! We stock high-quality Fusion Mineral Paint products to help you transform your own furniture with beautiful, durable finishes.
We are starting small as we get everything up and running, but every piece and product in our store is chosen with care and a love for quality craftsmanship.
What’s Coming Next?
We are just at the beginning of our journey, and we have big goals for where we want to take this business:
- Expanding Our Shop: We’ll be gradually adding new supplies, restored furniture pieces, and DIY accessories to our store.
- In-Studio Workshops: One of our biggest goals is to open our studio doors for hands-on upcycling workshops! Whether you’re a complete beginner wanting to try Fusion Mineral Paint for the first time or looking to add custom rattan details to a project, we’ll be here to guide you step-by-step in a fun, relaxed environment.
