This sofa has had quite the glow up, as has the room it has returned to 🩵🩶🤍

It came to me looking a bit tired and worn, but with great bones and a lovely shape worth bringing back to life

Completely refreshed in this bold, patterned fabric from carefully pattern matched across the cushions and body to keep everything flowing nicely 👌🏼

Last October, at the inaugural I listened to a very important talk from about the chemical flame retardants used in the UK furniture industry.

I was already aware that these chemicals were used, but I had no idea quite how bad the situation was. Delyth delivered this talk to around 150–200 upholsterers, most of whom were in a similar position to me. What she shared was so shocking and moving that the whole room was in tears, and she received a very well-deserved standing ovation.

After 7 years of hard work campaigning against the use of toxic chemicals, it finally feels like change may be happening. The government has now launched a consultation proposing major reforms to bring the UK in line with the rest of the world.

This matters to all of us, because it affects everyone. Please respond to the consultation if you can. We need to make sure chemical lobby groups do not drown out the voices of the people this really impacts. Link in bio

Can you tell I’ve been faffing with background removal? 🙈

I wish I had professional photos of every piece I work on, but if this handy little tool means more past projects get shared instead of living quietly in my camera roll, I’m calling that progress ✨

This wingback had good bones but years of use had taken their toll.

Stripped back, refreshed, and reupholstered in a soft green velvet that is sympathetic to the original and feels just right for its shape and era.

A proper armchair again — ready for another few decades of love 💚

This Victorian style armchair has been completely reupholstered, keeping all its beautiful original character while giving it a softer, more contemporary feel.

Deep buttoning, restored comfort, and that gorgeous original woodwork still front and centre. Finished in Peony Parquet, chosen to truly complement its beautiful shape.
