Fluffy outside, supportive inside ✨
Our client originally had a feather cushion and had it replaced with a firmer version by another company. but it was too firm for the client.

So we were asked to refine it and created a custom solution: feather filling on the outside with a foam core inside.

Now it has the perfect balance of softness and structure, exactly what she was looking for!

Volume up. 🔉
The sounds of a campervan coming together.

This one felt good to get right.
The owner came to me after a bit of a nightmare start with another shop—they weren’t happy with the front seats and needed someone to step in and finish the rest of the interior properly.

There’s something so satisfying about taking a project that’s had a rough beginning and giving it the finish it actually deserves.

No rushing, no “good enough”
—just taking the time to make sure every seam sits where it should and every cushion is built to last.

It’s all in the details. 🚐✨

A little bit of soul in every curve. ✨
There is something so satisfying about taking a classic design and making it personal. This wasn’t about following the rules of what a Chesterfield “should” be—it was about making it what the client needed it to be.
She wanted a fresh, clean look—no buttons, no fuss. Just the beautiful bones of the sofa and a stunning, heavy chenille she brought to us.
I’ll be honest: it’s a bit nerve-wracking to step away from the traditional deep-buttoning, but once we started sculpting the new foam, I could see the vision coming together. It’s all about the precision of those lines now. Without the buttons to hide behind, the shape has to be perfect. 🧵
Seeing it all finished, I’m so glad we took the risk. It feels lighter, softer, and much more “home.” 🏡 and one very happy customer!

RE-ENGINEERED, not just reupholstered. 🔨🛥️

We took this Fletcher 17 to the next level. Most shops would just slap new vinyl on, but we decided to fix the design flaws entirely.

The difference is in the details you don’t see. 🧐

The original rear bench is a notorious weak spot. Constant pressure from passengers stepping on the seat usually leads to split seams and sagging backrest foam because there’s no solid base for support.

Our solution?
• We stripped it back and built a solid-back support using layered marine ply.

• We custom-bent it to the curvature of the seat to eliminate those unsightly gaps.

• We added new foam and custom bolsters that flow perfectly through the backrests to match the seat design.

We even re-patterned the bow cushions from scratch, because “good enough” isn’t in our vocabulary. 🙅‍♂️

Better fit. Better materials. Better design.
One very happy captain. ⚓️

Before ➡️ After on this Seward 23 🔥

Apologies for the delayed posting as we had some failed video issues along the way! (Possible Go-Pro coming for these kind of jobs for the future we think!)

What was once dark, dated and carpet-heavy is now a clean, modern cabin you actually want to step into ⚓️

Full strip out and refit using Allante White marine vinyl, balanced with anthracite carpet for durability where it matters.
Custom carpeted floorboards added for smart storage access, plus new lower linings around the V-berth to finish it properly.

We also tracked down a hatch leak (repaired separately) and put right some questionable wiring along the way.

If your boat’s looking tired, this is what a proper refresh can do.

Small seam splits like this are common on driver’s seats.

On this Volvo C70 we removed the seat, stripped the cover back and repaired the seam through the original stitch holes before it tore further.

Catching these early usually means a simple repair rather than a full retrim. 🔧
