I'm selling off a load of stuff which has been gathering dust in the workshop- for all sorts of obvious financial / space-saving reasons. These were projects done on the side- so reflect my sparkling personality / strident taste in fabric. You've been warned. Delivery / inspection available in Bristol. I might even wear a face mask in a matching fabric.

Boing Boing Boing!
Vintage armchair, orginal boingy spring-set (that's a technical term) but all new fillings and fabrics.
Smooooth arms, off-set against this lively brushed-cotton Puzzle fabric from Kirkby Designs. Piped trim.

Approx dimensions: Height 89cm, width 62cm, length 89cm, seat to floor 41cm

Make me an offer over £100. Preferably over £150. Whatever. Can you tell I'm kind of in a funny place right now? You can totally take advantage.

Hokay. So, I did some small, well, tiny, piece of upholstery for a frikkin S U P E R Y A C H T. I know. Right? Those clever courtyard neighbours of mine, Bridges & Talbot, were commissioned to trick out a few retro-inspired pieces of seriously upmarket cabinetry for the really rather beautiful vintage yacht Malahne. This is the yacht: [ 81 more words. ]

So. Guess what I've been doing, inbeteween checking out awesome lego builds, cleaning up cat-sick, scraping Welsh mud off the outside (and INSIDE- YAY) of the car and engaging in super-polite passive-aggressive childcare diary-organisation with my better half? Go on. You'll NEVER guess. Oh. You got it. ERCOL COVERS. Check out lovely Harriet's (and by lovely, I mean, SHE PAID ME MONEY. [ 123 more words. ]

Finger Flickin’ Good http://wp.me/p2To2G-8Z

Hey hey. I forgot. I recovered 2 vintage chaises longues for lovely Captain Pip at the West's Best Video Emporium, 20th Century Flicks. The Flicksters have moved from Clifton to Christmas Steps and have installed the chaises for posing on in both the main room and in the super-exclusive, Lynchian-like grandeur of the for-hire KINO 12-seat cinema snuggled away in the back.

Tea For Two in Blue & Grey http://wp.me/p2To2G-8W

Yup. I got me ANOTHER of these bad boys. Your classic Ercol 203 two-seater, tricked out in Camira Craggan 100% wool. One side in grey, tother in blue so you can 'express your individuality', just like Nicolas Cage in 'Wild At Heart'. Did I ever tell ya that this here jacket, ahem, sofa, represents a symbol of my individuality, and my belief in personal freedom?

Hello hello hello. We have a new addition to the workshop. She's big, she's bonnie and she'll TAKE YOUR FINGER OFF if you don't play nicely. Bienvenue, salve and wilkommen to (drum roll, please) the Durkopp Adler. She goes at a million miles an hour and has a shiny reverse k**b. Really, who could ask for anything more?
