Using reclaimed materials that would otherwise have been discarded, or even used as fire wood, Ryan transforms them, bringing them back to life.
He says it’s truly magical knowing that these old, once cherished pieces had been worked on by dedicated craftspeople, whose skills can now live on with a whole new life and purpose.
“It’s an honour to continue to build on their care and original creativity. And the history is there for everyone to see. The look and feel of these old materials are exceptional and just can’t be matched in today’s merchandise.“
“The real beauty of each and every item is brought to life by the story behind it. Former functions are moulded into the very fibre, grain, masonry and fabric over decades, if not centuries.”
Wherever possible, Distinctive Creations incorporates those fascinating details – whether it’s metalwork from a traditional Lakeland farmstead, or flooring from a stately home.
Whatever you take home, or buy as a present, the next chapter in the story is yours for the telling.
Why not let an old oak floorboard, or section from an ancient barrel, boast some words of wisdom to hang on your wall to be treasured forever!
