Forests for all forever

    ‘Forests for all forever is a catchy phrase’ thought up by the FSC, or the Forest Stewardship Council, but its message is clear – forests and woods are a resource that need managing responsibly, for our children’s sake, and for the sake of the planet. Here at Mark Williamson Furniture, we take this stance seriously, and so it …

Mark Williamson Kitchens website – up and running with new galleries

We have just updated our new website at www.markwilliamsonkitchens.com which is dedicated to showcasing our bespoke and custom-made kitchens. We’ve added photography of four of our kitchens that were commissioned by our clients, and that we then photographed. The kitchen website will be updated regularly with galleries of photography and details of the latest kitchens that we have designed and …

Sliding oak doors – Crafton, Buckinghamshire

In this clip from our YouTube channel, Mark talks about these stunning bespoke sliding doors that we made for our clients’ beautiful house in Crafton, Buckinghamshire. These doors were designed, made in oak veneered MDF, and then installed by us on a precise Hawa Junior 120 sliding door gear system able to take the weight of two oak doors, 120kg …

Bespoke TV cabinet – Thame, Oxfordshire

  This TV cabinet is another aspect to the work that we have been carrying out over a period of months for a client in Thame. This piece is in their living room and designed to house the Sky Q box, as well as hiding the heating manifold for the floor. This cabinet is secured to the wall for safety …

Made to measure oak desk – Thame, Oxfordshire

  Thame is a wonderful market town which is just up the road from our Buckinghamshire workshop, but is actually over the county line in Oxfordshire, so we do work often for clients there. We’ve been working over the past few months in one beautiful home not far from the cricket green in Thame, and one commission was this small …

Oak shelves and sideboard – Princes Risborough

  We completed this commission just a few weeks ago now for our clients in Princes Risborough, and here we have some shots of the work in place in their home, and under construction in our workshop. The shelves and sideboard are both made in European and English Oak with an oiled finish. We added finger pull details for the …

Our photographic galleries – updated

We’ve started to update our website galleries with photography of our most recent commissions. One is of a light-filled bedroom in a stunning house in Henton, and for which we designed, made and fitted bespoke bedroom furniture for our clients. The other gallery is of a large living room in a house in Crafton, and we fitted the curved units, …

Wherever I hang my hat, that’s my home – bespoke coat peg rack, Oxfordshire

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 …
