Eclectic Interiors is situated in a beautifully restored stone farm building in The Art and Craft Yard of The Discovery Park in Castlecomer, Co Kilkenny.

It is run by Selina Gittins, who restores, paints and renovates  antique country furniture. Finished pieces are displayed with smaller vintage curios,  alongside contemporary pendant  lightshades, in an eclectic mix of contemporary country syle.

We now have the where-with-all for you to have a look at what is in the shop without having to actually drive out  to Castlecomer. We try and keep a selection of different pieces, all of which you can see in the different categories on the right. Apart from the lightshades, which we keep in stock, pretty much everything else is a one-off antique or vintage piece. Have a browse through the “sold” section to get a feel for the kind of pieces we choose.

We also provide a service painting/customising clients furniture; so if you have an old  inherited piece that could be up-dated or something that you like the shape of  but not the finish - too dark or too “pine” or damaged in some way- then it could be given a new lease of life with some of the paint colours used in the shop.

To give an  idea of cost ; to repaint Kitchen chairs   e55    Bedside cabinets  e35 (with client supplying paint) Please phone or e-mail for a rough idea of cost for other items.

Shop opening hours:-  Mon and Tues, closed.  Wed, Thurs and Fri, 10am to 5.30pm.  Sat, 10am to 5.30pm. Sunday, 2pm to 5.30pm.

We were delighted to have our home & Eclectic Interiors featured in the September issue of Image Interiors. Slightly strange seeing your own house, in such an unusually tidy and flower be-decked state, in a glossy magazine….  Click here to view…

• Will seat 8 with the extra leaf inserted. This is a mahogany pedestal table in the regency style, with lovely brass paw feet. It is light and delicate, yet can still seat a large number of people when the leaf is in. It’s painted in a grey/green colour, with a small cream line where the inlay is on the top surface.
