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 :)

When 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 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 :)

Spring had definitely sprung in the ladyshed with these treasured dining chairs re-dressed in a retro floral ensemble :)

Peeling profusely, recently recovered, now totally tasty :)

A 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.

This 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.

A 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.

A delicate pair of victorian balloon back chairs get a bold overhaul with this zinging fabric.

It 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.

Probably the biggest transformation in the world!

Once humble dining chairs, now singing with joyful colour and vibrant panache.

This 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.

Now 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.
