Bring us your much loved, but tired furniture for...
Let us give a give a new lease of life to a treasured or “new to you” item of your own, or you can come choose from stock items to be upholstered to your own specifications. We can give you a quote to ponder after viewing and discussion.
That much loved piece of fabric you’ve had FOREVER...or that piece you just HAD to buy because it was too darn gorgeous to be left on the shelf... We can incorporate it into your furniture and bring it to life. And with such a beautiful selection of retro rich and super stylish modern fabrics on the market today anything is possible. We can mix and match or keep it simple and stylish. Button it! Pipe it! Blanket stitch or make it pompom-tastic!!!
We also have a selection of retro and vintage pieces upholstered and renovated in our own eclectic style. Be that cosy vintage woollens or super kitsch 50's florals, we aim to make our furniture unusual and interesting whilst always beautifully executed.
Soft furnishings, loose covers and complimentary items are also lovingly undertaken. You’ll find that we have a small stock of quirky vintage pieces to decorate your home - so just give us a call to come take a peek - we're very near Canterbury. All enquiries most welcome!
