Our client who owns a house in Thame asked us to design and make a breakfast bar for his kitchen. We constructed this in solid English Oak, and we made it to fit neatly to the existing kitchen and hang off of the back of the granite work top of their peninsula area. The breakfast bar was completed with …
Work in progress – free standing curved top wardrobe
This is a work in progress blog post, and the work in progress, though pretty much complete by now, is this classically proportioned curved top wardrobe. It’s really not that easy to produce curved lines from wood – but we know how, and have put our experience into practice here to what we think is very good effect. As usual, …
Bespoke oak bedroom furniture – fitted!
We posted a couple of weeks back about some bedroom furniture that we were making in the workshop. This was a repeat job for clients that had previously commissioned us to make some bespoke wardrobes for their home. We’ve now carefully fitted the furniture in its place, and it looks fantastic, especially with the lighting all switched on. We’ve added …
Old period cottage’s bespoke wardrobe – fitted and finished
A couple of weeks ago we showed you some progress shots from our workshop of the large bespoke wardrobe that we were building for clients with an old character cottage. This job presented particular problems to resolve because the floors, walls and ceilings in period properties are never straight, square or level. Lovely if you live there, but more …
Beautiful bespoke bedroom furniture – finished and photographed!
Some time ago we completed the fitting of the bedroom bedside cabinets and wardrobe that we designed and built on commission for a client, and then last week we returned to take some decent photos of our work. We were really pleased to see what a beautiful bedroom our client has created around our furniture, with feature wallpaper, clever lighting, …
Love your shoes
Shoes don’t really get looked after well by most of us – come in through the door, kick them off, and they’re likely to end up in some dusty corner, or disappear underneath an even dustier sofa. We think shoes should be treated better, and so when we build and design our wardrobes, we always try and incorporate some intelligent …
Want to see some etchings?
This is another shot taken in detail from the set that we did of the finished oak wardrobes for a client in Essex. The client was very clear about what sort of glass he wanted on the wardrobes, and what kind of pattern. We drew an idea in CAD, which the client liked, then had the design sand etched onto …
Work in progress – bespoke fitted bedroom wardrobes
More works in progress in our workshop. These are fitted wardrobes, made to measure for a client’s bedroom. The interiors are made in lacquered oak, and the exteriors are painted white. The doors and side parts are made of a frame and panel construction with a bead detail (see the photo above), and all the painted components are constructed …
Commission in progress – bespoke bed and bedroom furniture in American Walnut
We are working on a commission for a client that is a bed frame, headboard, fitted wardrobes, a drawer chest and bedside drawers – all to be made in American Walnut. American Walnut has a very attractive grain which when polished and lacquered really comes through beautifully – see the last photo. Fixtures and fitting in chrome, stainless steel and …
Designing and fitting to use difficult spaces
Much of our work is finding a solution to a problem of using difficult space that a client may have. This is perhaps because they live in an old property where the walls and ceilings simply aren’t square, or a loft or roof space has been converted to add much needed space to a house, but which then leaves steeply …
