Newly Reupholstered Chairs

My client showed me two chairs several weeks ago - they been handed down through the family to her and she wanted to keep them, however they needed serious repair and updating. There was sagging seats, no foam, old worn fabric, beaten timber - in general, they had been much loved over the years and were looking worse for wear. So last week, I happily delivered these newly refurbished chairs back to her house - she was delighted.

This Week's Office Happenings...

 

This richly embroidered Jane Churchill fabric called Santana has been ordered to create new cushions for a client.

This lovely fabric will be tying together a range of colours and textures in their living room, including a newly

re-upholstered sofa in cream zebra stripes!

Another week in the office has whizzed by and some lovely jobs have been coming together - here are just some of the things that have been happening. Have a great weekend all.

 

This Cole and Son wallpaper, Columbus is going in a client's new powder room. Their new house has lovely views
of the sea and this room happens to be at the back of the building so why not take the view with you?



I saw these lab bar stools in white while having coffee with my boyfriend in a café and knew they would be perfect for
a client's new traditional style kitchen that I've designed for her - even better that they are available in duck egg blue,
her favourite colour.

 

I was given this divine T-lab rabbit as a gift of thanks from a friend - (whispering) who may be opening a cool new store
in Wellington. Don't worry I'll keep you posted! She's looking sweet on my book shelf.

 

Nomad Collection from Mokum Textiles

Last week I was presented the latest collection from Mokum called Nomad, which was inspired by the diverse cultures of Africa, a continent rich in nomadic tribes. The collection has "an eclectic blend of luxury textiles, reflecting our love of indigenous cultures and extensive history of adornment".
I've been a fan of Mokum over the years as I enjoy using their fresh and original designs. They create modern and sophisticated palettes for each collection - and all the fabrics from different collections over time work with each other so well so you don't have to be dedicated to one 'look'. Mokum went quiet for a few years as they went through changes, however I am happy to see that they're back on board again and creating what they do best - enduring and beautiful textiles.

Colour and Pattern

It's always lovely to see a job completed and here are some details from a family home that was done today.
We had a great mix of colour and pattern coming together with the fabrics on the furniture, drapes, light shades and cushions in this family room beside the new kitchen. We also finished off the mainly white kitchen with these cool IMO Baker stools in black. Looking smart!

Roald Dahl Fantabulous Collection

Well, this definitely appealed to the child in me. I was (still am) a huge fan of Roald Dahl books as a child and it was nostalgia that got me checking out this new textile range. Illustrations from the likes of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Fantastic Mr Fox, Matilda, The BFG, The Twits and other well known books make up this charming children's textile collection. I like that this range is unisex and you just know that parents will get a kick out of these fabrics as well as the children. Available in New Zealand through Charles Parson.
