Absolutely loving this upholstery course I'm on and thought I'd share my latest project with you. As usually happens, the Moregeous rotational system of furnishing has meant our oak kitchen chairs have disappeared into a tenant's flat! Rather than buy some more, I've rescued 4 rather dilapidated chairs from the Cellar of Shame and am... Continue Reading →
Upholstery Project No 1: Re-padding a linen box lid

There was a spare wall in one... Continue Reading →
