We really need to finish this job. The hallway project started over a year ago 😬

The downstairs jobs aren’t too bad: a quick rub down of the doors, handles back on, and wax the shelf. But upstairs… we’ve still got the doors to paint and handles to fit, the final coats on the skirting and architrave, the window and sill to paint, the floor to paint, and artwork to hang 🫣

I shouldn’t complain — we did go without doors for a while, so this is already an improvement 🧐

The ridiculous thing is, it probably wouldn’t take more than a day or two. We’re just waiting for inspiration to strike and the stars to align.

Maybe posting this will finally put a rocket up my backside. Although that hasn't always worked before.

Maybe see you in October 2027! 😅

In a world of mass production and endless online sameness, there’s something special about owning things with a story: handmade pieces, keepsakes from favourite places, well-loved books and treasures found along the way.

Give your favourite things a place to shine in this lovely oak glazed display bookcase. It’s a beautifully made, high-quality piece, with gentle decorative carving and gorgeous oak grain in a rich, warm colour. A timeless home for the things you’ll want to keep close.

We're so out of practice that Rowley our model refused to pose yesterday. He acted as though I was trying to torture him just by asking him to come into the room he's been into thousands of times before 😂. What a diva!

The best I could do is bribe him in and send him back out over and over again 😂! I think you can see him swearing at me at one point 😂!

So glad to have got some photography done yesterday, hopefully the next piece done by the end of the week.

I was hoping to get these done and listed but it has become apparent that the set I have is quite rare so further investigation is required beforehand!

Nice to be able to show you though.

What do you think? Pretty hey!

A little hello from me, Rhys & Rowley 👋🏻🐾!

It's been a busy busy summer! Our feet have hardly touched the ground between the multiple projects we've got cooking. At times I've questioned if I have the time or energy for furniture work but then I remember this is the way, every year, and every year I come back to it with new enthusiasm!! Usually after a flurry of sales and/ or buying something fantastic that I'm excited to show you. (It's both this time!!)

So here I am, once again, saying hi, thanks for being here and promising that I've got some beautiful bits to show you soooooooon.

Eyes peeled 👀

Morning! I'm pleased to say we had a big furniture day yesterday. We were out on a collection all day! We met a lovely couple tasked with clearing the most amazing treasure trove of a house. Literally full to the rafters with amazing stuff. I was overwhelmed by the scale of the job and I wasn't even in charge of clearing it!!
Anyway, hot and bothered because we had to dismantle and two trips later because we'd left Rowley relaxing at home; we've come away with: Two beautiful mid century wardrobes, a mid century tallboy and matching dressing table. I can't wait to show you....they are swaaaanky!
It might take me a while to get to them but I'm happy knowing they're there waiting for me.

For now here's a nice pic of Rowley barking at a passer by when he is supposed to be modelling this beautiful bureau! (Currently still available)

Have a lovely Sunday 😃

Sometimes I feel our lives are a million different things pulling us in a million different directions. It's exciting and overwhelming in equal measures.

So many projects on the go, but the personal ones always remain part done, ongoing and unfinished as work takes priority.

Sometimes find it frustrating that we don't get to spend all day everyday in the garden or making the house beautiful or out exploring with friends but that's not real life is it! Maybe that's retirement??

We all have to work and at this point in time we're concentrating on the holiday let stayatno81 , another separate family project and Rhys' graphic design business TMPL Design Co. ! All great fun and exciting projects that we absolutely LOVE devoting our time to! I'm not moaning by any means! Just feeling like life is a whirlwind sometimes 🌪️! (I've probably had too much coffee)!

We're incredibly lucky to do what we do and I look at all we've achieved with this stop/ start, do what we can, when we can formula. I must stop comparing my life to people who seem to have it all together. We're all just muddling by aren't we! Aren't we??

All progress is progress and it's the journey that counts the most because that's what life is made up of after all....

Looking back through some of my previous furniture projects today to get the inspiration flowing again. It's easy to forget just how many beautiful pieces have passed through the workshop over the years.

I've got a lovely sideboard sitting there waiting patiently for some attention... now I just need to get my butt down to the workshop and make a start! 😅

We've also sold quite a bit of our stock recently, so it won't be long before it's time to start hunting down some new stock. That's always one of my favourite parts—never knowing what hidden gems are around the next corner....

We've had some time off! Woohooo! The weather has been incredible ☀️☀️plus the winters soooooo are long so we've made a point of taking some time off between projects. If I'm totally honest, furniture work has gone on the back burner again of late. It's almost like we took on the workshop and then instantly got pulled in different directions 😂😂. I'm not stressing about it though. This is the season of life I'm in right now and the very best thing about our work is that it's flexible. It is and always has been something I can pick up and put down as life pressure pulls us in different directions. There's things that are slowly happening in the background here that should improve our workflow when time opens up again. Until then I'm hoping to keep my toe in and spring back into action when the time is right. Anyhow I'm always looking for new stock so you never know I might suddenly hit you with some GEMS 💎!!
You may have to put up with some more general life stuff posts in the interim!
Thanks for sticking round ❤️

June was crazy. So much going on with each of the businesses. All good though and it's good to be busy.

Lots of stock gone/going out which means I need to take some time getting some stock back in. We're currently transitioning our workshop/storage, we have to help clear out our new place so it won't be ready for a little while and then we'll need to paint it before moving in. Hopefully that can all happen this summer and then I can start operation stock hunt which is always exciting!

I'll be looking for some nice dining tables, sideboards, glazed bookcases, banks of drawers, desks and anything else unusual that catches my eye. Is there anything you'd like to see?

Hope you have a fantastic start to the month!

July ☀️☀️☀️ let's be having you!

Thought you might enjoy Rowley's slo-mo pounce and bark this Thursday morning 😂

Rowley's heatwave routine is hourly river dips followed by a roll 'n' mess around in the clover.

We're off for an early walk after watering the pots this morning.
