Lazy Sunday morning 💕

Invisible wave heading means no visible stitching on the front of the curtain, but it’s all going on at the back! Three rows of machine stitching to secure the wave tape and the buckram, plus a row of hand stitching at the bottom of the buckram. We always ensure any joining seams in the fabric are hidden at the back of a wave too

How to frame a stunning view of the Nene Valley? With vibrant, scene stealing curtains and blinds in Indira. And of course a matching cushion or two ➡️➡️➡️

This lovely customer couldn’t find the stripes she wanted so we made them! Lengths of Omega velvet and strategically placed eyelets so there’s a stripe at the front of each fold make for an colourful and cosy door curtain ❤️🩷🧡

A makeover for the bedroom of this returning client. New curtains and pelmets with trim to borders and a red stripey bed valance by .interiors. Headboard by . Swipe ➡️ to see the other window hiding in the corner and the matching pelmet and Roman blind in the en-suite bathroom.

Two made to measure box cushions to fit a new corner dining bench seat in Talia.

I made these Roman blinds from my client’s own vintage silk dupion in a beautiful sunshiney gold. They are blackout interlined to protect the silk from the actual sunshine 👏👏🌞

With some fabrics pleating to pattern is worth a bit of extra fabric and some extra brain power 👌🏼

With two very large patio doors this room needed cosifying! We used single pleat heading and a continuous curved rail colour matched to the walls for a sleek look. Fabric in a gorgeous blush pink to chase away the winter blues.

Catching rays and zzzz’s 🌞🥓💤

First project off the work table at our new premises!

Neat stripes for these bedroom Roman blinds. Blackout interlined for lie-ins on sunny mornings!

When you work with upholsterers and realise that left over foam from deep buttoning is the perfect size to stuff cartridge pleats! (Peter takes credit for the eureka moment!) Two trades working in harmony 🙌..

We’re open! 👏 👏Our showroom is open again for a browse, with guidelines in place. These beautiful with heading on a pole were by us recently with a matching little . in

The on these Roman blinds perfectly complement our client’s newly renovated farmhouse kitchen. in our from Porter & Stone Dovedale.

Open for business not quite as usual! These are worrying times for everybody so this is a big thank you to my customers and all the people still supporting small local companies. We’re all adapting to the current situation. I’ve switched to working from home, busy getting work ready for fitting once the lockdown is over. I am also available for online consultations and quotes if being in lockdown has got you planning a home makeover! Please feel free to get in touch in the usual ways. Love and good health to everyone ❤️

The extra large eldest son passed out from basic training for the Royal Navy yesterday and I couldn’t be more proud of what he’s achieved so far! Exciting times to come 🥰😀😁 well done James ❤️ ⚓

A few projects from the end of last year, and 2020 is already off to a flying start! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Client “Can you make me a roman blind from this fabric remnant?” Me “Yes I can!” Lined and interlined, fitted and looking fab 😊

Before, during, and after! This has been done to show off what’s possible even if something looks like it’s ready for the tip. Look what’s can be achieved with a good frame to build on.

Classic Parker Knoll wing chair completely transformed from dirty brown vinyl to clean and fresh with plain linen look fabric inside and Edinburgh Weavers gorgeous Camden fabric outside and contrast piping, finished with very bright and bold pink painted legs.

Older furniture is often much better made than new and a great investment.

Please like and share to show people what’s possible before more quality furniture ends up in landfill.

More of this lovely Harlequin Takara fabric, this time as a roman blind with side returns (or flaps 😂) to hide the rail when fitted outside the recess. Thank you for the photos!

Fitting a seasidey pelmet and dress curtains has cheered us up on a rainy day! The clients wanted a nautical/coastal theme in their bright and cheerful kitchen so we picked out the navy blue from the Kalahari Stripe for the piping and curtains in Carrera.

This room had a full overhaul. Fresh paint on the walls, new carpet, some gorgeous blue sofas, and I was thrilled to make the double pinch pleat curtains in stunning Takara fabric. Spot the matching two scatter cushions made from leftover fabric, I hate waste!
