Apologies for the poor and slightly amended Paul Young lyric reference (anyone else remember him?), but this coat pegs ensemble shows that we don’t just make big kitchens, and that we’re happy to take on much smaller projects. Our client supplied us with the rather gorgeous highly polished alloy pegs, and we made a backing piece for them from English …
American cherry bookcase – Haddenham, Bucks
Completed last year, we designed and made this beautiful shelving unit from American Cherry for clients that were moving into a brand new house in Haddenham, Buckinghamshire. They already owned a large bookcase in their previous property that they could not take with them, so they commissioned us to make one that perfectly fitted the new space and housed …
Under stairs storage, Arts and Crafts house – Gerrard Cross
Our under stairs storage solution continues to be a favourite among our clients – simple, useful, elegant and an excellent use of wasted space. We completed this commission earlier this year in the large arts and crafts house near Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, that we have carried out much work in. The work consisted of designing and making (see the workshop shots) of two …
A seat by a window – Thame, Oxfordshire
A window seat is something that can give so much pleasure – but can also prove to be a very practical addition to a room, adding useful storage space as well. Our clients in Thame asked us to design, make and fit a window seat that would look beautiful in the light and bright bay window of the family room. …
The Office
Although our workshop floor is where all our furniture making skill and experience comes to fruition, our compact office is the beating heart of our business. We have some exciting changes happening around here at Mark Williamson Furniture, so we have been sprucing up our office space to more comfortably and efficiently meet the challenges and hard work of …
Arts and Crafts house floating shelves – now with books!

We posted about the shelves on our blog back then and you can read more about them here. The thing is, usually when we finish installing our shelves, or whatever furniture it may be …
We’ve been out shooting our furniture – bespoke kitchen, Stoke Hammond
We’ve been out last week photographing some of our recently completed commissions, and at some point soon, we hope to have all our work up on completed galleries on the website. In the meantime, here are a few shots of the beautiful and quirky kitchen in Stoke Hammond that we have already mentioned previously on the blog – and did we …
Folding oak table for eight!
This beautiful and flexible oak table with matching benches was a project that we completed towards the end of last year. Our client wanted a table made to measure that fitted in her living room in a particular space (her bay window) and that then can be moved out and extended to seat eight people – perfect for dinner parties. The benches also …
Glass splashback – final touch to our bespoke Stoke Hammond kitchen
We recently added the final but every important touch to the bespoke kitchen that we designed and made for our clients in Stoke Hammond. This last vital piece was the glass splash back that sits behind the hob, work tops and below the extractor and adjoining units. This splashback was made from toughened low iron glass, and then was sprayed …
Oak doors, custom made for clients near Henley
We recently made and fitted these beautiful doors for our clients’ house in Park Corner, not far from Henley. This was a return to this property for us, as we had previously designed and made a kitchen for our clients, and as happens often, they wanted us to return. These internal doors are constructed in solid European oak and we fitted …
