Welcome!
I'm Hazel, the creative mind behind The Altered Rose, a furniture restoration and alteration company.
It all started over a decade ago with a very old dutch bike that I named ‘Pearl’. The idea of creating something unique and special out of something old just ‘fit’. It gave me a focus away from my fast paced career in Hotels. I became… a project girl!
My mother was very DIY and helped along the way and taught me a lot with every project I tackled.
After the loss of Mum, it was time to slow down and The Altered Rose was officially founded in May ‘21 in a garage in Papamoa. Now with a much larger workspace in Omanawa, I have the luxury of working on commissions and creative pieces in unison.
I take a great amount of pride and joy in putting love and life back into solid wood furniture. I feel honored every time I am trusted with a special commission to restore or alter.
