I love this low slung chair and footstool my client has had since the 70s. Its amazingly comfortable and has gorgeous curved chrome legs which sadly you can’t see due to my terrible photography skills 😬. Covered in a heavy grey linen. Swipe for before photo.

I recovered the seats in this camper in velvet for a lovely young couple who are planning to live the van life for the foreseeable. I quite liked the original fabric but they were keen to make their mark on the van. It looks great. I have to say I’m a little envious. Oh to be so free. Swipe to see before photo.

Doing this sort of needle craft always makes me think of my grandma. I’m sure she’d like the sentiment of my latest creation.

I haven’t posted on insta for an age. That’s a good thing as it usually means I’m super busy. Here’s a gorgeous Parker Knoll wing back arm chair that my client found abandoned on the street (result🙌🏻👍🏻). We gave it a new lease of life and enhanced the stuffing and recovered in heavy weight fabric that will last a lifetime.

This enormous sofa was a pleasure to make. Just needed a recover and cushions re stuffed. At first I wasn’t too sure about the fabric my client chose but seeing it finished and back in this fabulous kitchen I think it looks great. Swipe to see before photo.

I had to strip this very tired old moustache chair right back to its bones and fully reupholster using all natural fibres. I managed to reuse some of the original leather and covered the rest in a herringbone from Linwood. Swipe to see before photos.

This little beauty was ripped back to its bare bones and given a new lease of life. Traditionally upholstered using natural fibres. It’s covered in a stunning velvet from Linwood but these photos don’t show the colour in its full glory unfortunately. Swipe to see before photo. interiordesign

This armchair was fully reupholstered and covered in an opulent cream brushed velvet. Delivered to a very happy customer this afternoon who’s just adopted 2 dogs and a cat. Not sure how long the chair will stay cream🤣😆🐶🤪🤞🏻swipe for before photo.

My latest colourful creation. Obviously I get to be creative in my work but I’m really enjoying amercing myself in a different craft and mastering a new skill. I’m trying to focus more on the process and less in the outcome. I quite like it 😆

This wing backed armchair arrived in a sorry state. Iv given it a new lease of life. Fully reupholstered and covered in a pair of old curtains that my client had stashed away. Love a bit of repurposing. Swipe to see before photo.

I absolutely love this chair 💕from Heals in the 1970s. It’s so super comfy and has a sister chair and a sofa to match which I seem to have failed to photograph!! Covered in Bute tweed, chromium. The owners wisely chose a fabric very similar to its original. A timeless classic. Would look fab in my house but sadly it lives elsewhere.
