Doorway no longer needed? Look what we did

  At the end of March we carried out an interesting  job for some clients in the beautiful market town of Thame, Oxfordshire, but just a few minutes from our workshop in Ford, just over the border in Buckinghamshire. They wanted to block up a doorway in a manner that was semi-permanent – that is, could be easily removed in …

Curved living room furniture for TV and vinyl collection

Just the other week we finished fitting designed and made living room furniture in a client’s house in Tring, Hertfordshire. One interesting aspect of this commission was that our client wanted to have furniture incorporating vinyl record storage in cabinets to the right and tv equipment to the left – great to see that vinyl is being appreciated again! Shelving …

Neat neat neat! Understairs storage solution

We like this one! Want a way to use that precious but underused space under the stairs? We had some clients before Christmas that wanted just that. They could see that there had to be a way rather than just adding a small desk and a couple of shelves that would just gather dust and be useless in the long …

Curved end wardrobe – back to work!

Well, it’s back to the grindstone (or should that be sanding block in our case?) after all the festivities. We’ve taken up right where we started off before Christmas, working on a large wardrobe but with curved edges and elements to it. We think it’s already rather beautiful, and can’t wait to finish it and install it in place at …

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. We have been carrying out a fair amount of work in one house, and our client wanted the sliding doors already in place to matched to some furniture that …

Bespoke TV cabinet – no more cables!

With the advent of larger flat screen TVs, DVD players, games consoles, Blu-ray players, digital recorders and anything else that you might find in the living room attached to a TV set, there has correspondingly been more of a need for an intelligently designed cabinet that stores everything. It’s a bonus to get wires and cables out of the way …

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, …
