A well travelled chair, all the way from Australia and in need of a little tlc. New padding to the arms and seat, a bit of oomph for the back and recovered in a lovely linen/cotton blend from

I love working on chairs that have family memories. The pair of Danish dining chairs, designed by Johannes Anderson in the 1960’s, needed new seats and a bit more padding to the backs. The frames were given a wax, just to bring out the beauty of the wood. The drop-in seats were a full rebuild as although comfortable, were definitely on the saggy side. The frames were re-glued and dowelled then cleaned and waxed. All covered in a deep blue shot velvet, supplied by my very lovely client.

This 1970’s Montis “The Rock” sofa by Gerard Van Den Berg arrived in kit form…. The leather cover had been shredded by a dog and the foam was degraded and damp. A full rebuild and careful feeding and piecing together of as much of the old cover as could be retained with new leather means it will endure for another 50 plus years.

This Ekornes Stressless chair came in for replacement panels in the seat and new padding in the seat and back. The hardest part is getting the mechanisms back together when you only have two hands, sometimes three would be useful….

A delightful, but very fragile and possibly Swedish bench seat. It needed a lot of tlc to repair the frame and stabilise it. It then had a mix of waxes to even out the colour of the wood. My very lovely client found a gorgeous printed linen to reupholster it and I made a new seat cushion from all natural (but not feather) materials. Lovely piece to work on.

3 Victorian balloon back dining chairs and the other one! Frames have been re-glued and refinished, all new upholstery and not an ounce of foam in sight. The linen mix striped weave fabric from France compliments the rest of my lovely client’s home.

These two bench seats have been reupholstered with new foam and covered with Sapphire Lustre fabric from and will be used in a new exhibition space at RNAS Fleet Air Arm, Yeovilton. A pleasure to do and it’s nice to have your work in a public space.

I just love clients who have a vision of what they want to achieve. The very lovely John bought the original chair in Bath and had the velvet upholstery fabric printed. It suits his new home and was a pleasure to work on.

A labour of love by 3 generations. Started by the mother of my lovely mother-in-law, Wendy, using fabrics going back to the 70’s, who hand stitched all the pieces together. Wendy then passed it to her daughter’s mother-in-law, Jan ( bear with me on this) who applied the batting and backing fabric. Each piece is then stitched through the layers with a running stitch, the back is as lovely as the front. I finished the stitching and added a border. Lovely to be part of the history of this heirloom quilt
