chaise lounge

An in-progress chaise-long

We’ve noticed we haven’t shared many before-and-after photographs lately. Initially, we believed customers preferred seeing the finished product rather than the work in progress or the product on the bench. However, we’d like to showcase an example of our traditional craftsmanship. On the left, you can see the chaise lounge in progress, undergoing preparation for reupholstery; Hand-tied coil springs supported by the jute webbing underneath. Additionally, on the back, you can see the preparation for insulating the hand-pressed, hand-tied buttons. While on the right, you can admire the finished article.

A fantastic way to breathe new life into quality items and create a unique statement piece for your home.

Designed Sofa

We recently had the opportunity to work on a truly unique project – reupholstering a sofa using rugby shirts! The client had a design to incorporate the sponsor brand and the shirts, and we were more than happy to bring that vision to life.

The process began when the client sourced the perfect sofa and had it shipped to us. The sofa had a classic design that would perfectly showcase the rugby shirts.

Next, we carefully disassembled the sofa and began the reupholstering process. It was important to us to follow the client’s design, ensuring that their vision was realised. Each rugby shirt was meticulously cut and sewn together to create a piece.

Once the reupholstering was complete, we couldn’t help but admire the final result.

We were honoured to be a part of this unique project and always strive to bring our clients’ creative ideas to life.

” Fabulous service from Jo and Barry – they’ve taken my tatty, faded Duresta four-piece suite and turned it into a stunning centrepiece for our new home. The new fabric now matches the quality of the underlying frame and finally we have a sofa that looks worth what we paid for it!!
Highly recommend for the quality of service, extensive fabric selection and high quality of the finished product – I’m over the moon!!! “

This is a stunning conservatory suite that we recently reupholstered for one of our customers. We gave this inherited furniture a new life by creating new cushion cases in a beautiful Porter and Stone Fabrics cotton print. With just a few simple updates, this conservatory furniture is now the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sunshine.

1960s Sofa

1960s Sofa

We had the pleasure of working on a 1960s sofa that was inherited by our customer from his grandmother. We re-made the seat cushions with new foams and gave it a fresh new look by changing the original stretchy orange fabric to a nice cream Ross Fabrics Aquaclean. It’s amazing how a simple change in colour can make such a big difference! The cream fabric makes a beautiful contrast against the historic sofa and gives it a stylish and modern look. We love being a part of preserving family heirlooms like this one.

Victorian Chair

Here is a classic Victorian Chair we reupholstered.

The Victorian Button Backed Chair is the epitome of elegance and sophistication. With its intricately detailed button-tufted back and ornate wooden frame, this chair is a true work of art.

Whether placed in a formal living room or used as a statement piece in a modern space, the Victorian Button Backed Chair never fails to impress. Timeless elegance.
