In June we headed off to Italy with our friends and family to celebrate our wedding, and spent some time in the Tuscan sun!

Restoration & Re-upholstery

There's something very special about taking an old, tired looking piece of furniture, which has been loved over the years, and giving it a new lease of life. Quality furniture is made out of hardwoods, glued, screwed and doweled using traditional methods meaning the frames are usually strong and sturdy. You can normally tell this by the weight of the piece! We are pleased to announce the launch of our...

The top cap is cast metal finished in orange (could be painted any colour), and the shade is aluminium. As with all...
