One of our favourite pieces to date to design and

One of our favourite pieces to date to design and make. This was right up my street for design, the brief was to have the feel of the customer’s grandfather’s garden. He used to keep bees, so there needed to be a beehive in there as well. The centre honeycomb had actually been on another design offered, which they liked and wanted to incorporate.
I wanted it to feel like a lazy summer day, with the buzz of bees. It needed foxgloves as well, as they were a big part of grandad’s garden! The foxgloves were a bit of a head scratcher, but I think Kyle did a beautiful job. Inspiration was taken from old botanical drawings for them. It was received with a really lovely, slightly emotional response. Which is always the icing on the cake!

So... We are super excited to get this through the

That Friday feeling! We fitted this lovely lady ‘Leap of Faith’ earlier this week. It was so lovely to see her in place at last. She has been in the design process for sometime, so to see her in situ was a real pleasure. The brief was a feminine form, elegant and graceful. The space she was going in was an odd shape with a mezzanine floor to the left, and a sloping ceiling to the right.
We took inspiration from art nouveau art works, ribbon dancers, and aerial artists.
The client was thrilled with her, seeing happy customers is one of my favourite parts of the job.
What’s your favourite part of your job?

Snippet detail from a larger project from last yea

Snippet detail from a larger project from last year that is nearly ready to be revealed! We managed to get up to take photos last week, (outside and safe distance) as the site is nearly finished. Give or take a couple of finishing touches. It was wonderful to see it all in situ, we were rather pleased with the overall aesthetic.
Can you guess what it is?

I spy... what treasures can you spot going round? We bought ourselves this little beauty of a machine last year. Sadly it hasn’t reached it’s full potential as we’ve obviously not been doing shows recently... But it will one day! Let us know if you spot a diamond amongst the swarf 😉

This was a beautiful commission before Christmas.

This was a beautiful commission before Christmas. It was such a pleasure to do a collaboration with @mjhodgeart. She designed it, and then Kyle had a play and made it. Somewhat trickier than his usual play things, given the scale of it. But I always remind him he loves a challenge (which he does!). Do checkout @mjhodgeart‘s artwork, really beautiful and full of colour. She captures the essence of Sussex beautifully 💗

We fitted this super sweet handrail back in September. It was for a lovely couple, who wanted a bee detail in tribute to her father, as he was a bee keeper. Traditional style in keeping with the cottage. It’s all in the detail 💗 🐝

Lovely little job that was completed last year. The bell was the original from the navy boat the client’s father served on during WW2. The hand chased design was from a an old photograph. A very personal piece, which was lovely to make!

Slightly belated, but wishing you all a year fille

Slightly belated, but wishing you all a year filled with love and laughter, with some exceptional joyful moments thrown in. Where do you even begin to describe last year? I’m not going to try, I just want to wish all of our lovely customers and supporters a Huge Thank You! We are so grateful for every sale, and every commission. We love creating for you. Here is a small selection of some of our favourite details from the last 12 months. We’ve already got some exciting projects lined ready to go, but we’re taking some time out to recoup and get our design caps on. So for now, look after yourselves, be kind, and we can’t wait to see you when we can 💗

It’s nearly time to close our books for the year

It’s nearly time to close our books for the year. Final day for posting is Friday the 18th. Collection or delivery can be arranged up to the 22nd/23rd (at a push!). Please get in touch to enquire about local deliveries for Burgess Hill/Ditchling/Haywards Heath/Lewes/Uckfield and surrounding areas. And making a sneaky appearance prior to arriving on the website for 2021 is our lovely Mr Fox! We’ve got 3 in stock, grab them while you can... 😉 (Copper hare is now Sold)

This was such a fun project to make. The clients didn’t want any straight lines and liked scrolls. It had lovely punched holes and hot rivet details throughout. And to finish they went for a beautiful soft metallic pewter colour. Subtle with a nice sheen, it really brought it to life.

A beautiful organic inspired pair of handrails whi

A beautiful organic inspired pair of handrails which were fitted over the summer. It is set off in a striking dark green, lending itself to the gorgeous garden setting in south London. We’ve had quite the summer, despite the surreal and strange year it has been everyone, we have been working away like busy bees. We have greatly missed our outings to our various lovely shows that we do, and seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones! Fear not though, the website is currently undergoing a good ol’ spruce up, to get all the products up to date.
Ready in time for.. you know what time of year! (I can’t quite bring myself to say it yet?!) We are committed to only shopping from independent and small business, particularly this year! Please shop local/support small businesses anywhere you can! 😊

We got to drop this gorgeous fire pit off last nig

We got to drop this gorgeous fire pit off last night to some lovely friends (at a safe distance obviously!) The brief was ‘clean lines/industrial/game of thrones/lord of the rings/oak leafs. So we did our best to incorporate two styles for the lovely couple who have slightly different tastes! They were thrilled with it which is always one of the best parts of the job for me. We are looking forward to seeing it in use soon!

Part of the kitchen we did for two very dear frien

Part of the kitchen we did for two very dear friends last year. You may remember the shelf brackets we made a couple of years ago. To which they then added door hinges, handles and some sculptured creatures (we had so much fun making them!) to their their gorgeous kitchen. In the beautiful Tudor property, they fit right in whilst reflecting their lovely owner’s style and sense of fun. The great thing about commissioning something is that you get exactly what you want. Whether that is an oldy worldy feel, contemporary, or a mix of the two!
We are so very lucky to meet so many lovely people through our work, and we even more so to now call some of them friends! Always treasure those you meet who make your world a brighter place 💗

This is a recent industrial style table that we made the legs for. Engineering plus a bit of hot work to get the bends in! We always love to see commissions in their new home. It looks fantastic, and hope it brings many years of happy memories to the lovely owners of it 💖
