modular makeover
StandardJazz hands working overtime

Dump Jump Trump ;)

Green Energy
StandardA once unexciting sofa gets ‘pepped up’ a-plenty :)
True Blue

Midnight Makeover
StandardThis 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 :)
People say we monkey around …
StandardIt was a great pleasure to inject some fun into this suite of ‘orangery’ furniture :)
Buttoned-Back Beauty
StandardA whirl of delectable Designers Guild fabric has implanted some vigour and vitality into this little chair to restore its youthful good looks :)
A Charming Chesterfield
StandardStripping 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 :)

Bloefeld meets Pussy Galore
StandardThe 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 ;)
Ooh La La
StandardThis daintily chic french love-seat, has been carefully refurbished for improved amour and is now just awaiting a tryst <3
Dingy Diners

Buttoned Bonanza
StandardWhen your comfy chair is lacking in wow and pizzazz; there’s only one thing for it … a waggle of the wow wand and some tactile turquoise velvet <3
the show stopper …
StandardThe crazy days of mind bending pattern matching are (almost) forgotten now that the ‘Sofa of a Million Moths’ (look closely) is finished; the alignment of the Timerous Beasties ‘Bellmoth’ fabric runs up & down and side to side, round the corner and back – like I said, mind-bending but a great chance for show-boating :)

Ten Tatty Diners
StandardPeeling profusely, recently recovered, now totally tasty :)
she wore blue velvet
StandardA massive, well used family scatter back sofa, was to have a new look with custom made full back cushions.
The enormous bare frame was collected and after new luxurious feather wrapped foam core seat cushions and the puffiest of hollowfibre back cushions had been sourced, this sofa was covered in the most tactile of sumptuous blue velvets and delivered back as a brand new piece of luxury ‘on trend’ opulence.
a tangerine egg
StandardThis much loved inherited ‘egg’ chair was looking sadly worn out and leaking decomposing foam-dust like a good-un; so it was stripped of all foam and re-padded before the tailored covered was stitched to fit from the juiciest tangerine wool fabric.
making a statement
StandardA tired pair of tub chairs were ready for some T.L.C. and an injection of drama; this vivacious fabric does not disappoint and makes these real statement pieces.
victorian va va voom
StandardA delicate pair of victorian balloon back chairs get a bold overhaul with this zinging fabric.
20/20 vision
StandardIt takes great vision, creative thought and a bit of faith to imagine that this tattily, well worn armchair could ever look stylish; double thumbs up to another client who has all of the above and allowed me to waggle the wow wand once again.
flower power
StandardProbably the biggest transformation in the world!
Once humble dining chairs, now singing with joyful colour and vibrant panache.
re-invented in red
StandardThis modern day classic Ercol armchair has had its comfort ramped up a gear with a new foam core fibre wrapped seat cushion, finished in a red velvet softer than a baby hamster with a cluster of scatter cushions, this really is the last word in coziness.
curtain call
StandardNow for something different; five pairs of hand finished eyelet curtains including two full length sets and oodles of scatter cushions give a transformative ‘summer in bloom’ vibe at any time of the year.
a squash and a squeeze
StandardA project of epic proportions …. a massive sofa (mammoth size isn’t done justice in the photos) recovered in a durable calming blue with the back scatter cushions exchanged for full and plump box cushions; coupled with a matching shaped window seat and cushion arrangement – a perfect spot to enjoy the suns summer rays :)

StandardThis neat little two seater was spiced up with a warmly tactile fabric and new feather wrapped foam core seat cushions for a lasting luxurious lounge.
not all chairs are created equal
StandardThe parker Knoll Statesman; the king of comfort and retro cool.
Completely stripped of the cold old vinyl covers and perished padding beneath, re-foamed and fitted with the cosiest wool tailoring and comfiest cushions attached using a contrasting coloured fabric, making for the most inviting of all chairs.
vintage charm
StandardA lovely little bit of 1958 Parker Knoll cuteness
