Number Eightyone Bespoke Upholstery

I entered a competition for an electric foam cutter and only went and won.. absolutely over the moon..🥂✨ Thank you so much Livedale Foam and Sundries Ltd and @the_amusf Association of Master Upholsterers and Soft Furnishers #AMUSF who ran the competition

One of my lovely customers sent a picture of her chair, it looks fab in its new home It’s great to work with colour especially when the sun is shining ☀️☀️ #upholstery #madeinhitchin #handmade

4 Dining room chairs brightened up from brown leather to a lime green check ready for a birthday party at the weekend. #madeinhitchin #upholstery 🎂🎉🥂

Another revived chair which is much loved, ready for a cozy corner of my clients new kitchen. A new feather wrap cushion and fabric from #elanbach updated this Laura Ashley chair. #madeinhitchin #handmade #upholstery #wingchair #numbereightyone

Here’s a loose cover I made a few months ago. Lots of pattern matching with this fabric, but you are able to gently hand wash. This was my customers fathers chair which held lots of memories and she wanted to keep and cherish the chair for another generation. It looks beautiful especially with all the flowers a nice change from working with grey. #madeinhitchin #handmade #upholstery #hertfordshire

This is not an upholstery or soft furnishing post but something I thought was quite true for most women at work.
I go to networking groups where most members are women, and if it wasn’t for the support of women talking and sharing our experiences I’m sure our businesses would take longer to grow and blossom.

This Danish banana sofa had quite a make over. My client wanted to make the legs longer so the lovey Richard Smith at http://www.furniturerestorationhertfordsh ire.co.uk
hand made and fitted oak legs to her specific requirements. We also researched this lovely velvet fabric to match the clients walls. #allintheddetails #handmadeinhitchin #hertfordshire #upholstery

How about this lovely Danish sofa for a before and after transformation. My client kindly sent these photos from her own home of the sofa in her kitchen. If you would like any more inspiration pop over to @dani_ellis_ on instagram where you will find Dani’s fabulous home. It’s truly stunning..

Congratulations to the lovely William and Kate.. it’s a boy... James Arthur Charles Albert..? “ thrice the worry” 👼👼👼

Some before during and after photos.. not the best photography but you will see how a chair can be transformed 😊

This lovely chair has travelled a long way from war time Germany and was in a desperate need of some tender loving care. I have re-sprung, traditionally hand stitched and recovered to bring her back to life. She’s ready for another chapter in her life and ready to tell another story..#marvick #linwood #numbereightyone #hitchin

It was #nationalpetday yesterday and Hattie’s 1st Birthday. #cavapoo It was very busy at No81 HQ so I set her to work 🎂🐶
