In 2012 Julianna pursued her passion of restoring and upcycling furniture full-time. Growing up, she was lucky enough to be surrounded by antiques and vintage treasures. Her mum had a knack for breathing new life into old furniture, and her dad was always on the hunt for hidden gems. Fond memories she will treasure of those times.

Canterbury is a name with special meaning for me. Many fond memories growing up in Canterbury Victoria And let’s not forget those beautiful blue eyes of his! That’s why my business, Canterbury Blue Shabby Chic, was born.

Today, Canterbury Blue is thriving. Selling paint all over Australia, running workshops, and offer private tuition. We absolutely love what I do, and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing others bring their own creations to life using our paint.

I’m thrilled to announce that Canterbury Blue Furniture Paint is passing into the capable hands of Michael and Darren, who aren’t just my dear friends but also my children’s godparents. They’ve been instrumental to Canterbury Blue’s success for the past decade, and I couldn’t imagine better people to carry this legacy forward.

Welcome to the Canterbury Blue family! We’re so grateful for each and every one of our loyal followers, clients, and friends. Thank you for being a part of this amazing journey. We can’t wait to see where we go from here!

Meet the Boyz

Michael
After moving to Qld in 1989 and settling on the gold coast a passion for interior design was unearthed by accident and a new and exciting career of designing interiors commenced. Over the next 26 years I have decorated gorgeous private homes, stunning mansions, Hotels and many Resort apartments. 2013 was filled with life changing moments, turning 50, the end of a relationship and moving for the first time out on my own. A new life, new direction in my career and moving from designing private and commercial properties to designing and fitting out Age Care Homes. Moving to Redcliffe with not much and needing to heal and start afresh.
This is when after trying to find some cheap furniture I some how heard of this crazy lady named Julianna in a shed in Clontarf, and to say that that day changed my life forever is such an understatement. She showed me how to take some cheap second-hand cast-off pieces of furniture and make it new again. So, with my new lifelong friend and her two beautiful boys my life and my passion for painting began. For some unknown reason we were like the husband and wife we didn’t know we needed, sitting for hours painting and solving our own and everyone else’s dramas. Gratitude for helping me through a difficult time my heart is always hers, no matter what.

Darren
After a career in the fashion buying field for various departments stores in the UK Darren returned to Australia and his passion for antique furniture and collectables began, he forged a love of all things from the far distant past.
Spending a lot of time traveling through Qld attending antique fairs and buying new and exciting pieces for clients and then moving to beautiful Mt Tamborine enabled him to develop this passion and working in an antique store and attending fairs across Qld and NSW.
2015 saw a huge change in direction for Darren after meeting Michael and moving down to Redcliffe for a new start. Once again Julianna’s love and friendship blossomed, she found the brother she knew she wanted. Crazy as each other, Darren started working with Julianna mixing and packaging the paint and bits and pieces in the new Redcliffe store.

As Julianna says we are as happy as a butchers dog !
