This is a project that we designed, made and fitted for clients that live near Aston Abbotts, and we recently completed fitting it into their house. It’s a high-end, custom-made TV wall, built around the client’s screen and amazing sound system.

Floating oak shelves for an Arts and Crafts house
Before Christmas, we made and fitted some floating shelves into a beautiful Arts and Crafts house owned by one of our clients. They’re called floating shelves as there is no sign of any fixings or brackets, so the shelves look like they are actually, well, ‘floating’ somehow. We made the solid shelves from super prime European oak. Our …

Sliding Doors
No, not that enjoyable rom-com feature film from 1998 starring Gwyneth Paltrow and John Hannah all about two characters living parallel lives, but one of our latest commissions for clients.

It’s a bonus to get wires and cables out of the way …
Big and bespoke! Oak living room cabinet

Obviously with a design this big you have to build it all up until it’s finished, complete and perfect, then break it all down again into pieces. Then, with great …
You won’t find this in Ikea
Now, we love shops like Ikea and the many different objects they sell for our homes. But then sometimes people ask us why our price for an item such as a book case like the one we made a few weeks ago are much more than somewhere like Ikea’s prices. And apart from facts like the sturdy book case above …
We’ve put the antique ship back into its rightful place – oak unit fitted
We’ve completed the fitting of the fully fitted cabinet and oak unit containing the family’s antique model ship that we told you about here – and we think it looks fantastic in place. The oak really contrasts beautifully with the large flagstones on the floor of the clients’ home, and the lighting that we designed and built into the unit …
Space (for) ships – and not only
We were recently commissioned to design and make a large piece of furniture that would need to have several uses. One stipulation was that it would need to have a central display space for a beautiful antique model sailing ship that has been in the clients’ family for generations. This also meant we had to design the ship’s space …
