You never know what you will reveal before wood stripping and sanding. Every chair has a different cut and grain.

This beautiful little Jaroslav Smidek bentwood chair's wood is being kept as natural as possible for my clients.

Watch this space for the results!

Watch this space as we finish transforming two well made sofas completely. You won't recognise them compared to the before picture.

Completely stripped, all new interiors, fresh sage hard-wearing tactile upholstery fabric, a bespoke footstool and coordinating scatters. It's going to look amazing thanks to my amazing team.

Happy Friday folks!

My building is a hive of activity from Derbyshire honey being distributed to piano restoration, music lessons, curtain making and the sound of machinery embroidering logos to name but a few.

There's so many small businesses working hard and it's encouraging to share a big mill with other self motivated people working hard.

Happy Saturday folks!

Can you work out which one has been cleaned and hydrated?

It's been hard work considering I'm only giving a subtle difference to the patina but I think it's worth it. Cleaning off grubby fingers gone by, spillages from the dinner table and flecks of paint.

Next I'll apply a high-quality wax and then it's just a matter of finding them a home and choosing the upholstery fabric.

Before, after and in-between. Sentimental rocking chairs fully restored Yellowstone style. Woodwork completely restored to bring out the grain, new interiors all upholstered in a fabulous faux cow hide. Yee-haw!

A Jindrich Halabala spider table is drying after weeks of work to restore the wood and veneer before building the polish back up.

I've used a polishing mop to get the high shine finish finely built up. I've reached 13 coats meticulously lining up the strokes. Keying back the surface between some coats to get it as smooth as possible.

Hopefully you can see how it's brought it back to life, although it's always better in reality.

It's lovely to see the bench cushion in place. We don't just restore chairs for reading on we make bench cushions too.

I do love a reading nook but only if the books are about furniture. I'm not much of a reader otherwise. What do you read?

Happy Sunday!
