About Kellys Road

Creativity, second chances and discovering something different.

Hi, I'm Kelly, the face behind Kellys Road!

Kellys Road began back in 2020, during a time of change in my life. With a new baby in the family, I knew I wanted to create something of my own — something that would allow me to follow my passions, embrace my creativity and build a business around the things I truly believed in, while still being there for my family.

I've always had a creative side. Growing up surrounded by family who enjoyed arts, crafts and trades, I was encouraged to explore different ways of making and creating. I also spent time working in my father's joinery workshop, where I gained qualifications in joinery and cabinetmaking.

Combining those skills with my absolute dislike of unnecessary waste, I began rescuing tired, unwanted furniture and giving it a new lease on life.

What started with a love of transforming furniture has gradually grown into something much bigger, and I'm incredibly proud of how Kellys Road continues to evolve.

Kellys Road Today

Kellys Road is now home to three collections, each representing something I'm passionate about.

REUSE – Ready to Rehome

This is the newest chapter of Kellys Road, and one I'm really excited about!

I've always believed that just because something is no longer wanted by one person doesn't mean it has reached the end of its useful life.

Reuse is my growing collection of second-hand furniture, clothing, homewares, toys and all sorts of other treasures waiting to find new homes.

It's about offering affordable, good-quality preloved items, keeping useful things out of landfill and giving people the opportunity to discover something different.

And let's face it, who doesn't love finding a bargain or an unexpected treasure?

RESTORED – Ready to Love

This is where it all began and will always be a big part of Kellys Road.

I love taking furniture that has seen better days and turning it into something beautiful, practical and completely unique.

Sometimes that means a subtle, elegant transformation, and other times it means getting a little adventurous with colour, texture and design!

With my background in joinery and cabinetmaking, I enjoy combining traditional skills with creativity to give each piece its own personality.

I also offer commission work for customers who have furniture they'd love to see transformed rather than replaced.

CREATE – Ready to Create

One of the most rewarding parts of what I do is inspiring other people to discover their own creativity.

Through Kellys Road Create, I stock a carefully selected range of paints, decoupage papers, transfers, stencils, mouldings and other creative supplies to help bring your ideas to life.

I love discovering new products and sharing them with fellow creatives, whether you're an experienced furniture artist or someone picking up a paintbrush for the very first time.

I truly believe there are no rules when it comes to creativity. It's about experimenting, enjoying the process and creating something that makes you happy.

Giving Back

Kellys Road has always been about giving things a second chance, but giving back to others is equally important to me.

Following my own experience with breast cancer, supporting Breast Cancer Foundation NZ is something very close to my heart.

That's why Kellys Road proudly donates 5% of profits from Reuse, Restored and Create to Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

It's a cause that means a great deal to me, and I'm grateful that my little business can contribute towards making a difference.

Discover Something Different

Kellys Road is based in Clevedon, Auckland, and although the business has grown and changed since those early days, the heart behind it remains exactly the same.

I still love finding potential in things others might overlook, creating something beautiful from something forgotten, and encouraging others to give creativity a go.

Whether you're hunting for a preloved bargain, searching for a unique piece of furniture or looking for supplies for your next creative project, I hope you'll find something here that inspires you.

Thank you for supporting Kellys Road and being part of its journey. There's still so much more to come!
