The Smugglers Chest

The Smugglers Chest Re-purposed, reclaimed and turned into something fun. I'm a single father to a middle school son. I will be adding new items as I make them. DK

I have been creative all my life and I'm trying to express myself as well as my artistic side. I love custom orders, if you have an idea, material, theme or just want me to come up with something, email me and we can work something out. Everything listed is hand made. I try to incorporate reclaimed materials. I am into sports, comics, science, and the 80's. Hope you see something you like.

One more chair saved from the landfill.

This wingback chair came to me with fabric that was literally falling apart. After a complete reupholstery and new decorative nailhead trim, it’s ready for many more years of use.

I love projects like this because they prove that good furniture doesn’t have to be thrown away just because the fabric has failed.

If you have a favorite chair that’s seen better days, it might be worth saving.

Just wrapped up this antique, family heirloom footstool.

Before & After? Not always.

Sometimes the original fabric is too damaged to use as a pattern, the foam has collapsed, and the piece has been in the family for generations.

This footstool belonged to my grandmother’s grandparents. The original upholstery was beyond saving, so it received new foam, custom welt cord, decorative tack trim, and fresh fabric while keeping the character of the original piece.

We’re currently taking on small upholstery projects including:

• Dining chair seats
• Footstools and ottomans
• Bench cushions
• Accent chairs
• Cushion and pillow covers
• Pet damage repairs
• Fabric replacement and updates

Located in Sussex County, Delaware.

Feel free to message me photos of your project for a free estimate.
