The Recovery Room

Weekly Wednesday What’s on the bench?
Another busy bench week with a total rebuild of the deep button armchair started last week.
A camel stool cushion 😳 (no picture) and a quick makeover for a drop-in pad dining chair!

Weekly Wednesday What’s on the bench! Wee ladies chair finished and delivered (before and after photos below). Next is the deep button pink chair soon to be blue once it’s rebuilt!
Lots of customers into the workshop from far and wide! All happy to join my waitlist which is now April 2027!

Weekly Wednesday What’s on the bench!

So the button back nursing chair is almost finished. 8 cushions made for a customer (no photo) and the trim arrived for the small corner chair, forgot to photograph 🫣. Lots of enquiries this week too with the waitlist up to April next year!!

Wednesday What’s on the Bench?

I have to admit that this week has mostly involved admin which never makes a good picture but I do have a couple of upholstery pictures for you!

A ladies chair stripped back, joints re glued and in the process of being sanded before rebuilding. Finished the Library Armchair rebuild destined to return to its home in Aberfeldy.

A couple of cushions made for the window display.

Hopefully less admin and more upholstery for next week 😊

Weekly What’s on the bench?

Corner chair in progress. Library armchair coming together, inside arms and back up to top fabric with a re-spring and traditional 1st stuffing!
Newly recovered tartan chairs in the window including outside arm pleated child’s chair and adult chair with a kilted back!

Weekly Wednesday What’s on the bench?
A wee stool that had a new seat and covering applied, (forgot to take a finished picture 🙄) 2 “kilted”chairs being covered for the next window display!! (Will photograph that properly tomorrow!) Wrestled with some loose covers and now back to working on the armchair rebuild!

Weekly Wednesday what’s been on the bench??
A recover of a beautiful nursing chair, wresting with replacement sofa cushions, 12 mini landrover seats and the start of rebuilding the library chair deconstructed last week!

Wednesday What’s on the bench??
So, I’ve redone the stool that was damaged putting the frame on before I went on holiday!
I’ve made a few cushions for the shop and started the next batch of little landrover seats.
Also started deconstructing an armchair which has a few interesting features such as a block of pine on the front edge instead of stitching 🥴 and binder twine to lash the springs 🤭

Wednesday What’s on the bench?
Not too much as I’m on holiday! Back Thursday 9th July 10am 😊

What’s on the bench?
So mainly it’s been estimates, 34 items to be precise! Also a deep buttoned stool completely finished then a screw fitting the pad onto the leg frame tore through the top fabric so it’s back on the bench and stripped down to redo 😩
