As a certificated member of the Guild of Traditional Upholsterers, I specialise in traditional upholstery on antique furniture, but also undertake work on modern pieces too. The workshop is open by appointment only, please call or email to make an appointment. From the Square in Tarland, follow the road past the Commercial Hotel (with the Crafty Neuk on the left) for 0.7miles, you will then take a

sharp left turn over a small bridge. Follow the road for a further 0.4mile till you reach a fork in the road signed West Davoch, take the right hand fork heading up hill. Follow this road for 0.8miles, you will see a sign for West Davoch & Middle Davoch , carry on straight past this sign & also the drive for Easter Davoch House on the right. The road then turns sharp right, you will see a small bothy on the right & the driveway for the workshop is immediately after the bothy, you will see a mill wheel on the side of the workshop, just before the entrance.

How sweet are these lampshades? I had some small remnants of this gorgeous Poppinjay linen and managed to eak it out into two shades. Finished with a pale gold fringe from and braid from which compliment the fabric perfectly and lined in a silk satin.

They were destined for , but one has been snapped up already, and the other just looks so perfect in my hallway, I don't think I can part with it, sorry Catriona.

After many happy years of upholstering treasured furniture for the good folks of Aberdeenshire, it's time for me to hang up my hammer.

I tried going part-time 2 years ago, but as a self-employed sole trader with a constant stream of enquiries, that hasn't worked out how I had hoped. The work-life balance is still tipped too far down on the work side, so the big decision has been made.

I'll still be around for a while, I have worked scheduled through into the autumn, and I will honour those bookings, but I won't be taking on any new commissions beyond that.

Thank you to all of my wonderful clients for trusting me with your furniture x

These beautiful deco pieces popped up in my memories today. I thought after 4 years they deserve to be seen again

I just love how this dainty sofa has transformed from a dull, wobbly, sad little thing into an elegant functional thing of beauty. Huge thanks to for rebuilding the frame and for creating the glorious fabric, a sumptuous soft velvet, and for the perfect trim.

I'll be taking it along to on Friday, where it will be available for sale. Is it wrong to hope it doesn't sell and I have to find a space for it at home??

Its not just my students who have been working on nursing chairs. These two, for different clients, were completed by me a while ago, but just collected last week. They are very similar in style, but I love how different choices of fabric completely changes the look / style. One covered in a classic purple plaid from Abraham Moon, the other in a more modern squiggle weave from Linwood • Fabrics, Wallpapers & Cushions

Two gorgeous nursing chairs finished up in class today, and two very happy students. Both chairs were stripped back to the frame and completely rebuilt.

Well done Lynn and Jo, you've both done a cracking job on your chairs, I'm a super proud teacher 😊

Last job of the year was finished on Friday and delivered to on Saturday. A beautiful Victorian Ironback chair, covered in Bloomsbury Garden.
Catriona has yet again excelled at stying the gallery and taking these wonderful shots of my work. The chair is shown with two of my lamps and a stunning painting by Gary Harper. If you look closely you will also see a gorgeous mug made by my super talented husband

All are available for sale and will ship if you are not lucky enough to live in the area.

I'm taking a little break now for Christmas, well that's the plan, but my head is buzzing with ideas, so who knows.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year x
