MY STORY
Hi and welcome to Myriad Interiors, my name is Alex and I thought I’d tell you about about myself and my business.
I am based in the Devon countryside, I was born and raised locally and never moved far. When you live in such a beautiful part why go anywhere else!
I have a teenage son who is my world, I had him when I was 20 and looking after him and giving him everything he needed/needs quickly became my main focus, once he went to school I chose to go to university and complete a degree.
Once I completed my degree I ended up working in my village pub as it worked well around being a mum.
Roll on a few years and I hit a huge hurdle and pretty low point in my life when I was diagnosed with cancer. I had to give up my job to focus on my treatment. With extra time on my hands I found refurbishing my furniture a very helpful creative output. When people saw what I had created I received several commissions and Myriad Interiors had started its first few steps.
In the years since then, I am in remission and Myriad Interiors has grown from cluttering up my lounge to out growing two workshops to the huge work space I have now.
The last few years have been an incredibly steep learning curve but incredibly rewarding. I still challenge myself daily to learn new techniques, this combined with my attention to detail means a plethora of styles leave my shop.... But nothing leaves until I am 100% happy with it!
I sell newly refurbished furniture in my online shop but I also get a buzz from working with customers sourcing their perfect items and exacting their specifications while incorporating my own artistic flair to produce some truly special pieces.
Thank you for choosing Myriad Interiors, I look forward to working with you
