Photos: SUPPLIED<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once Ginger Revamped moved into the Amazing Mill Markets, Osmond started teaching out of a studio in Drysdale, an aspect of her craft she enjoyed before finishing and converting her garage into her new space.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I went to the mill [The Amazing Mill Markets] and that&#8217;s where I&#8217;ve been for the last two years and converted this area into my workshop.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can just come and go, although I have a bit of a routine. Once my son goes to school in the morning, I&#8217;m out here and then I&#8217;m out here until four in the afternoon, just painting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Osmond has always enjoyed doing something creative, although has long thought she didn&#8217;t have a creative bone in her body, describing herself as a painter, not an artist.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t draw a stick figure to save myself but give me colour and put something together and I feel confident in that,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think most of my life, my mother always encouraged me to do something crafty, she taught me knitting, crocheting, cooking and sewing and all those things back in the day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038 \" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/Jacinta8_12421.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"860\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Many of her pieces will feature colour, mixed in with some timber, a favourite combination for the painter. Photo: SUPPLIED<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Her journey of restoring pieces has often led her to the stories associated with the furniture, some of which was made\u00a0decades ago.<\/p>\n<p>The fascination runs deep, especially when discovering items have been made in Australia and recently working on a chest of drawers crafted in Geelong.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A piece of furniture, I&#8217;ll see it and it&#8217;ll talk to me. I just think that the way it was made, this vintage stuff is probably 80 years old, whereas the antique stuff is 100 years old but it was made so well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I do custom work, the story of the people that trust me to do their things, I often think about their family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038 \" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/Jacinta4_12496.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"988\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Many of the older furniture pieces have a story to tell, often being in somebody&#8217;s home for the past 60 years. Photo: SUPPLIED<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When the creative first started selling her furniture, she couldn&#8217;t believe people were willing to buy it and it has been a learning curve for her to discover what she&#8217;s able to do,&#8221; Osmond said.<\/p>\n<p>These days, a lot of her work is pieces she does to be sold in the market, allowing her to bring her visions to life without the added stress of meeting other\u00a0people&#8217;s ideas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel a bit of pressure with custom work: will it live up to their expectations, will it be what they think it&#8217;s going to be?&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>There is no one style that suits Osmond&#8217;s taste, instead going off what appeals to her. Since being at the mill, a lot of retro pieces have become popular.<\/p>\n<p>Customers won&#8217;t find much white in her works, with Osmond often painting with bright colours, giving a piece character as it enters its next phase.<\/p>\n<p>Raw timbers and colour are a favourite combination for the painter, often mixing the two to create her look.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It could be anything from a table that I might sand to get a beautiful finish on the tabletop then paint the legs,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038 \" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/Jacinta2_12490.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"926\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A lot of the furniture used is given to Osmond by people moving and downsizing or purchased from Marketplaces.
