A recent custom built-in desk and storage setup. It's just awaiting its paint job 🎨

Made to measure, fitted around the window, and designed to suit the room rather than force standard furniture into it.

Happy to chat through ideas if you’re thinking about something similar 👍

New year, same tools… just a slightly more experienced apprentice 😅

Max is nearly 6 months into his joinery training now, so we’ve got more availability and are looking for a good mix of jobs — big or small.

He’s fitting skirtings and facings this week, and we’re keen to get stuck into a variety of work this year.

If you’ve got something needing done, give me a shout 👍

My daughter’s bedroom room is tiny — nowhere to squeeze in a wardrobe without loosing valuable toy playing floor space!

So I built the wardrobe into the bed instead 😂

Drawers, soft toy cubby, and a full pull-out wardrobe all in one. No space wasted!

If you’ve got a small room that needs a big idea, give me a shout. Got a few spots left before Christmas!

Another under-stair job done ✅ Ready for painting.

What used to be wasted space is now tidy storage, perfect timing before the Christmas madness!

Got a few spots left before Santa arrives 🎅🎄

Kicking off October with some fresh storage! 🪚✨

Built-in wardrobes like this make the most of every inch.

Who else could use more space before the big man comes ? 🎅

Bedtime doesn’t have to be boring…

Over the years I’ve built pirate ships ⚓, airplanes ✈️, a house with its very own slide 🛝, and plenty of clever storage beds too.

Each one is made to last, but more importantly, made to spark a bit of joy and imagination at bedtime.

Can you believe these started out as the customer’s old IKEA bookcases? 👀

I adapted what they already had into a wall-to-wall feature that looks completely custom - without the ££££££

👉 Swipe to see the before and after — big change without the big price tag.

Got furniture you’d like to transform? Drop me a message and let’s chat 👍

Not every job has to be a big one, this was today’s!

Nothing fancy, just a practical little project that makes a big difference.

I’m always happy to take on the small jobs as well as the big ones. So if you’ve got something in mind, a bit of extra storage, some shelves, or a custom piece you can’t find in the shops, give me a shout.
