This 1930's hinged back chair was a broken mess, but its beauty and fabric… ❤️ stole my heart. Stripped, fixed, waxed, and rebuilt - now awaiting its final fabric later in the year. The original fabric, however, told a different story. After washing, the underneath was almost perfect, a true piece of history revived!

A broken Victorian slipper chair came into my workshop recently. There were a few scratchy head moments but thanks to for their help and support we fixed the structural issues and then I set about rebuilding it. Traditionally stuffed, resprung and button backed in this glorious helterskelter fabric by
A lot of work but worth it!

Think piano stools are just for sitting on? Think again! They're actually mini ottomans waiting to be discovered. Deep Button lid. Recessed inside lid and base, finished off with a piping trim. Results in quite a lot of work on a small scale! But in this case, definitely worth it. This one is now useful and BEAUTIFUL!! The sticky, peeling cat scratched vinyl has been replaced with stunning V&A velvet. What do you think?

This art deco treasure was hiding beneath layers of old fabric and wear, but a good clean of the wood and a polish worked wonders and really made the wood sing. The beautiful Art deco shell fabric by Liberty - Home and Interiors brings it back to life. Know someone with a chair in need of restoration? Send them my way.

This was a massive game of sofa chair Jenga! I don’t normally take on 3pc suites as my workshop is a little space challenged!! But using moving benches I managed to make this work. This 70’s 3 pc suite from GPlan was a dream. Even the broken spring unit, which I replaced didn’t derail things!
Recovered in a beautiful whiskey coloured velvet from .

Just back from a few days in Morocco - yes it’s my favourite place! When you turn up and find out it all closed due to Eid, turns out you can wander around without crowds of tourists! Always an inspiration from tea packaging to street graffiti.
Mint tea, blue skies and lunch with white storks putting on a show. Just the ticket xx

This GPlan saddleback chair was quite frankly knackered and smelling strongly of 60 years worth of f**s! A good clean of everything, wheels, wood, rubber seat (which is very cool!) and new cushions and fillings. Now smelling fresh and looking fab in its new Linara fabric.
Good to go! Please get in touch if your chair or sofa needs an overhaul

I'll be the first to admit I'm not a caning expert, but my sister is and she deserves all the credit for the stunning caning on this seat. The original seat looked intact, but had actually damage along the seat's edges in several spots. After re-caning, the client wanted to match the original back panel, so I carefully adjusted the stain until we achieved a near-perfect match. The chair now looks cohesive and will get plenty of use!

I'm obsessed with how William Morris fabric brings timeless elegance to this kitchen bench! The design is absolute perfection, and the railroaded fabric was a stroke of genius, removing unnecessary seams. The yellow trim adds a modern touch that's pure magic. ...
