Elliotts of Newbury (EON) dining suite

SOLD: Elliotts of Newbury (EON) dining suite


There is normally a schedule to follow as jobs are planned for economy of space and time.  All that planning went out the window when I saw this set.  Everything else was set aside as I couldn't wait to get started.

Hopewells Oak Finish Bookcases

Coming Up: Hopewells Oak Finish Bookcases



Just picked up these lovely little oak finish bookcases by Hopewells of Nottingham.  They need a little love with loose joint, sad old coating marked by their years of use.  Two of the clever little shelf support are broken so those will need to be repaired or replaced.  These are going to look super cute when they are done.

Don/Airest Furniture 3 Piece Lounge Suite

SOLD: Don...'Airest'? Furniture 3 Piece Lounge Suite


The guys picked the Solar Weave chocolate:  With a nice chunky weave it's one of the fabrics that I love using on my sets.  It sits well against the mahogany and presents beautifully.  I have used the orange version on my own set

Their response : "We are sooo thrilled with our 3 piece. Looks great in our homes- a novel new way to buy (choosing the furniture's new clothes) and was well received by us."

Special little lounger

SOLD: Special little lounger



She's all done, I had waited such a long time to work with one of these so it was a little self indulgent to take so much time with it, but I loved (almost) every second.  What a fab design.  Each little angle, each little change of material where wood meets fabric, where fabric meets leather, where leather meets wood. Inspired


Someone else thinks it's inspired, it made it onto the front page of Trade Me - My first ever 'Cool Auction'.
