Can you Open Your Mind to New Ideas, Challenge your thoughts and Spark Conversation?
It is already 5 months into 2022… Where has this year gone already?
Normally by now, a lot of us have either stuck by our new year's resolutions or they disappeared just around February time? I am happy to say this year I have definitely (so far) stuck to my resolutions and attempted to make time for myself.

Exciting new project for one of our favourite pubs!
We've recently had the pleasure of completing a special project for the Brownlow Inn. It was a privilege to be able to work with them as it is one of our favourite places to eat as a family. We have been going there for family celebratory meals for years including our engagement and pre-wedding night, so as you can imagine, it holds lots of special memories. So we couldn't be more proud to see some of our furniture taking pride of place in their bar eating area.

Exciting Launch of Five New In-Person Upholstery Workshops for Spring 2023
There’s never a dull day being an entrepreneur. The variety of roles you do in your day to day job is exceptional. Some people don’t like the huge number of hats that you have to wear. What I have learnt over the years in business is that you don’t have to be an expert in all of them.
