Not everyone wants a massive transformation; sometimes, just the same is perfect- similar fabric found and contrast piping made from off cuts of the original, new fillings all round and seriously stiff skirts give these sisters a subtle, understated uplift

Pouffe, footstool, ottoman or hassock; many names to describe the underrated, multipurpose piece of furniture now having its much deserved moment in every well appointed lounge

This bare little chair needed care and repair, fabrics chosen with flair and I’m delighted to share

An invigorating update for this well loved chair; the straight lines of the plaid undeniably emphasize the carefully cut and tidily tailored, top-stitched seams around the curvaceous contours – it’s one hot tub

The return of the wondrous WOW wand!!

A morsel of magic, a ten pound chair, a vibrant velvet fabric, a client with dare, pop it in the mix with one more thing, a pinch of pattern planning for furniture with ZING!

Linwood’s Kami adorns this Wesley Barrell Lady & Gent pair in colours that make the heart sing

Why do in 6 panels what you can easily do in 18? – Is a question not usually asked, but the contours of this tub chair were begging for the attention of a tasty torrent of topstitch over Linwood’s recycled leather; finished with a quilted seat cushion, a classy moon wool plaid and leather clad legs, now he’s really got the spotlight

Formally unused, faded and gathering dust in a garage, this asymmetrical studio wawa chaisette (made up word) – generously donated by Alison Cobb of St Albans – has been swathed in luxurious velvets aplenty and gleams with an effervescent brilliance thanks to the benevolence of both @blackpopuk & @linwood_fabric

From little ladysheds, tremendous transformations grow; this colossal corner sofa has undergone a glamorous glow-up featuring a zippy, zesty ztripe over classic navy velvet giving double-sided-flipability for a change of looks to suit the mood

A delightfully deafening delivery! – Squeals of excitement at the unveiling of these beauties makes it the best part of the job!

The mind-bending math’s ensuring all nap of these Linwood omega velvets run in a strokably smooth direction is forgotten when the results look & feel this good

This saggy bottom needed more than a nip & tuck; full reconstruction using the old traditional methods & a flurry of tangerine leaves this lovely little lady in full fine fettle and zesty as heck

With the super soft strokability of a baby hamster, Linwood’s Cosmos Velvet swathes this chair beautifully with sumptuous tactility

This vintage family treasure has undergone the full procedure; the saggio, dusty and disintegrating stuffings replaced and @designersguild cotton velvet twirled around delectably to emphasise those curvaceous contours

When your Client (and her Dad) leaps with actual joy upon delivery, it makes your heart absolutely sing

– part of a much loved 70’s family suite has been renewed and reborn with new webbing, foam, stuffings and a liberal sprinkling of pixie dust

When days are busy, you need all the help you can get …

From frumpy to fab-u-lous in a flurry of fabric; love it or hate it, you can’t ignore the tangerine dream

An inherited CC41 utility chair with a raggedy cat scratched cover has a newly tailored outfit fitted to show off its sleek curves; and a pouffey pouffe is de-puffed of its muffin-top for a slimmer, contemporary silhouette

Oh how I laughed while stripping this chair, some of the decisions made during the last re-cover were hilarious; thankfully I’ve had some lessons since then :)

This is the very chair in which my mum was fed as a baby and the beginning of my upholstery journey

Full reconstruction surgery & a total bottom rebuild was needed on this little old lady; now, traditionally lashed, hand stitched and finished in a chic cafe au lait, she’s a real Classy Dame

A pair of pooped out sofas are pepped and plumped to perfection

When coffee coloured @linwood_fabric #omegavelvet is wrapped over a Wesley Barrell sofa, the result is top quality comfort and luxury par excellence

The reaction upon delivery of this special little project was priceless – it’s surprising what can be achieved with a couple of @bertandbuoy artful tea-towels and an armful of coordinating @linwood_fabric velvet

Flakey fabric flung in favour of zingy spring stripes

From a poor little traditional all tatty and torn, to a gorgeous Green Goddess – resplendent in opulent emerald velvet and super squashy new cushion

Once dirty, dilapidated, drab, dreary and drunk (well, legless anyway ) transformed with a twist & a twirl of tantalising teal (with a sprinkling of goldy buttons) over a full fickness of foam, it’s now superbly sumptuous and splendiferously swanky

Jazz hands working overtime

Grandmas French fancies look delicious with new ‘sponge’ inners and fondant pink topping – sounds good enough to eat

From frumpy, dumpy and a little bit lumpy to sleek, chic and completely unique

This ugly duckling, with its baggy old cover and clapped out foam has re-hatched to a beautiful swan

A copy of the iconic Jacobsen ‘swan’ chair, now clothed in some of @Moons classic grey Melton wools which mould to the contours impeccably

A great pair of G plan chairs and footstools taken from frump to fabulous in a whirl of @fryettsfabric

A little facelift for this armchair, from cream suedette to a very stroke-able grey velvet to complement the recently recovered racy red velvet sofa

Arne Jacobsen’s curvaceous Seagull chair, stripped of everything tired and worn, re-foamed and re-trimmed in @yarwoodleather ‘s finest Capri tan hide

All that glitters is not gold; likewise – all in tatters is not trash.

A beautiful ‘Moons’ wool plaid gives a luxurious blankety finish and a totally terrific transformation.

Dragged from a skip in a decrepit state, this vintage ‘Organic chair’ has been completely stripped, re-foamed and re-dressed in a teal Bute wool fabric which replicates the original cloth; magnificent legs and alloy trims refurbished beautifully by the clients, a couple with great vision and amazing dumpster-diving agility :)

A once unexciting sofa gets ‘pepped up’ a-plenty :)

This ‘scandi’ style couch has been jazzed up no end with a luscious blue chenille from Designers Guild, a new back configuration makes ‘cushion -slippage’ a thing of the past :)

This small traditionally stuffed chair had a wobbly arm and was in need of some deep reconstructive surgery; glue, clamp, nip and tuck, then wrapped in sumptuously stroke-able velvet of darkest midnight blue :)

It was a great pleasure to inject some fun into this suite of ‘orangery’ furniture :)

A whirl of delectable Designers Guild fabric has implanted some vigour and vitality into this little chair to restore its youthful good looks :)

Stripping this charming little traditionally stuffed chesterfield revealed an unexpected story and explained its lop-sided look; it was once a drop-arm sofa! – The mechanism had been long since been removed and the frame reinforced wonkily making the job of matching it up tricky.
A delicate designers Guild fabric gives an elegant new spin on this bountifully buttoned beauty :)

It was with great satisfaction that these baggy old loose covers were consigned to the bin in favour of the uncluttered orderliness that is upholstered furniture; un-moving fitted arm covers and a selection of beautifully arranged scatter cushions complete the invitingly opulent look :)

A vast velvet vision of Va Va Vooom; a hard wearing velvet cloaks this superb specimen of sumptuosity – reworked back and de-cushioned arms for a sleek modern look :)

When whimsical meets practical; an ultra hard-wearing fabric combined with the classic Timerous Beasties ‘Bloomsbury Garden’ fabric on this once forlorn recliner makes for a pragmatic yet stunning combination :)

This pair of antique wing chairs have been given a new lease of life with a tactile herringbone from Colefax and Fowler :)

This much loved, childhood sofa has had a right royal transformation with this ‘cloth of gold’ from Designers Guild :)

A pair of ‘Ralph Lauren’ armchairs, disrobed of last seasons garments and stepping out stylishly on all the finest catwalks :)

The beautifully refined plaid wool fabric has been aligned in every direction for maximum viewing pleasure from any angle :)

Some things are better left alone; this modest traditional armchair has been re-covered in a silver-grey linen for a classically elegant finish :)

The G-Plan 6250 was known as ‘The worlds most comfortable chair’ in 1962 and was made famous by the Bond villain Bloefeld; but with the bottom hanging out and old, cold leather covers this one didn’t live up to much …until now… seat platform is re-built and luscious velvets whirled around in a poooof of magic it’s now more suited to Pussy Galore ;)

This daintily chic french love-seat, has been carefully refurbished for improved amour and is now just awaiting a tryst <3

Sometimes wipe-able vinyl is what you need on your dining seat pads; rated at 100,000 rubs this fabric can withstand the messiest eaters :)
