The sunshine is always so very welcome, but unfortunately furniture in the full sun may not agree. Fabric can become faded, brittle and holey….but so long as the frame is unaffected there is hope….

Take a look at these 4 beauties, stripped down, new padding, matching buttons and piping and a perfect pattern repeat means that these chairs are ready for many more years of service and are taking centre stage once more for that view to be adored.

Now this is a transformation…. A Laura Ashley chair with a loose cover given a stunning facelift.
It was goodbye to the loose cover and hello to being fully reupholstered.
The fabric used is a Arbuthnot design and is totally in keeping with the style of chair.
Please note the spot on pattern repeat.
Excellent job by A Little Bit Fancy x

If a window seat is worth doing it is worth doing well, the most important details are …

1 - fabric shouldn’t be too matchy matchy
2- Your cushion needs to fit the shape of your sill perfectly
3- And this one is the lost important….your curtains should touch your cushion but not crumple…..

All three golden rules are absolutely spot on,
1 - A ditsy Liberty print paired with a vintage velvet go perfectly together as the velvet picks out the rose pink in the curtains.
2 - a template was taken to make sure the foam insert fitted perfectly, including the wraps around the reveal.
3 - for me the curtains should touch, not slouch, not hover, rest!!!!

You cannot argue that this really is a perfect window….

The request was - double sided, unlined, roman blinds to be fitted to 2 kitchen windows….the best bit, both blinds are operated by a remote control. A fantastic solution when reaching for the cords could be tricky or dangerous.
The control was expertly tuned in by Andy (as that is beyond me).
Being a stripe it is important that the stripes run smoothly when you sew in your rod pockets. Luckily I do love a pattern match so a lot of time was taken to make sure that this was spot on. A wonky stripe can ruin the effect.
Beautiful, stylish and functional blinds by A Little Bit Fancy.

When my lovely client asked me to restore her Parker Knoll chair, the answer was always going to be yes…but after seeing the chair I could not wait to get started…totally striped back, frame lovingly sanded back and waxed by Andy, new foam and reupholstered. She is ready to be enjoyed once more.
It is so important at a little bit fancy to improve without taking away the comfort and history….she was originally purchased from Donovan’s in Kingsbridge as confirmed by the label attached underneath.
Just look at the curves in the wood….you don’t see these very often, but if you are lucky enough to come across one, grab it and send it in the direction of

When you need blackout to mean blackout!!!! Unfortunately Venetian blinds in an apex window just will not cut it. Curtains are the best way to go.
2 sets of single pinch pleat custom made curtains, to fit into these tricky shaped windows.
Made using a recycled cotton fabric, they look lovely and create a completely blacked out environment for a mid day nap…plain and stylish.
