"Starting out small and then building the boutique business to what it is today, has taken an investment in educational workshops, networking, learning & creating.  I consider The Furniture Paint & Craft Shoppe to be more of a ‘community hub’, rather than a place where I stand behind a counter and sell my wares.  I want everyone to be included, share ideas and help one another with any kind of painting or crafting project.  ‘Show & Tell’ - where my customers share what they have been working on, is just one of the perks of my job!  I love what I do, and my customers are what keeps my motivated.

Growing the business & expanding my product range both in-store and on-line, is a big focus, to ensure business longevity and success.  Perfectly situated in the busy Matamata CBD, the location allows for easy access and ample free parking. Being away from the hustle and bustle of a big city, makes the shopping experience all that more pleasurable.

Anticipating the needs of my customers and exceeding their expectations is what I aim to achieve. I like my customers to feel welcome and special, and provide them with a unique shopping experience whilst visiting my shop. I ensure a personal approach when it comes to my customers and their needs.  No purchase is too small, every customer is special and makes a significant contribution to my business."
