Hi everyone, a bit of a different post tonight. I was recently kindly asked if I would like to have this sofa with a view to restoring and reupholstering it.

As much as I would have loved to take on this sofa myself, we are just currently too busy with customer projects and with literally no spare time on the horizon, it just wouldn't be right for us to consider buying it.

However, If any of my followers, friends or family would be interested in owning this lovely vintage Art-Deco sofa I would be happy to put you in touch with the person concerned.

I would of course also be happy to upholster this for a customer should they wish to acquire it and would add it to our list like all our other jobs.

I can see it now in a nice bright velvet taking pride of place in someones home. Defintely an opportunity to own a unique, quality piece of furniture.

Happy to offer any help or advice as far as this is concerned ....we would love to get our hands on it and create something special ! 🙂

Feel free to share.

Thanks for looking.

This good quality orthopedic chair is very important to my customer as it encourages good posture and is also a favourite in their household.

Sadly the fabric and some of the underlying upholstery was tired and needed to be replaced.

So, who were they going to call on ?

We were very pleased to help with this project.

New webbing, foams and filing were added as required and the chair was recovered in this popular Montana Floral material from Ross Fabrics.

Very satisfying to know that this customer can continue to enjoy her chair for years to come.

Thanks for looking 🙂

✨ From tired to completely transformed ✨
What a difference new upholstery can make!

These beautiful chairs were given a complete new look in our workshop, reupholstered using a gorgeous combination of fabrics from the Fryetts Alderney and Jersey ranges.

And we didn’t stop at the chairs.....To bring the whole scheme together, we also made 10 bespoke matching scatter cushions and protective arm caps, creating a coordinated finish designed especially for our customer.

We love projects like this. Taking existing furniture with plenty of life still in it and transforming it into something fresh, individual and ready to be enjoyed all over again. 🪑💚

Beautiful furniture deserves a second chapter.

Ercol furniture comes in all shapes and sizes and we regularly receive enquiries to reupholster it.

This Ercol 'Gina' reclining chair was in need of some updating and we were pleased to carry out the work for our customer.

The fabric used was from Warwick Fabrics UK Ltd Nordic Plains range .....very luxurious with a nice soft texture. Changing the fabric on a chair like gives it a completely new look and transports it to the present day.

Thanks for taking the time to look 😊

A little chair with a big transformation!

This small child’s chair has been given a complete fresh start after being reupholstered in Oxford Eco 100% recycled cotton from Warwick Fabrics UK Ltd

Oxford also benefits from a green EasyClean finish, achieved through a unique breathable ‘EcoElite’ TM coating – the first plant-based repellent developed for the textile industry.

Durable, environmentally friendly and easy to clean ....what's not to like !

Now, when it comes to running a business, we’ll be the first to admit that we don’t always get everything right! 😄

But when it comes to the actual upholstery… well, after almost 40 years of practising, we reckon we’re getting half decent at it! 😉

Beautiful furniture, careful workmanship and decades of experience. That’s the bit we know best.

Another Sofa Given a New Lease of Life!

It’s always lovely to welcome back a returning customer. We reupholstered another sofa for this customer a couple of years ago, and this time they returned to us to transform this one.

For the new look, they chose Aquaclean Scala from Ross Fabrics, a fantastic choice for a busy home.

💪 Hard-wearing and made for everyday living

These four dining chairs arrived at our workshop looking rather worse for wear. The existing upholstery was in a sorry state, with the seats no longer providing the comfort and support they once did. Full reupholstery was required to bring them back to life and make them comfortable for everyday use once again.

I can take no credit for the work on display here as the work was carried out by our valued team member who is consistently showcasing their attention to detail, skill and craftsmanship.

The chairs were upholstered in Warwick Fabrics' EasyClean Casual range in the beautiful colour Leaf. This smart, practical and hardwearing fabric is ideal for dining furniture, offering both durability and style for busy homes.

To complete the look, each chair was finished with a hand-made braid created from the same fabric and secured with Bronze Renaissance decorative studs, adding a classic finishing touch that perfectly complements the design.

We're incredibly proud of the work carried out in our workshop and the high standard achieved on this project. These chairs are now ready for many more years of comfortable use around the dining table.

Thanks for looking. 😊

A big project completed for Teddy’s Restaurant at 108 High Street, Elgin.

We’ve recently had the pleasure of completing a substantial upholstery project for .elgin

This was a big undertaking for our small workshop, with a considerable amount of work to complete, organise, store and turn around.

We’re really proud of how the whole project came together and although our team is small we ensured the work was completed and installed in time for the grand opening 🙂

A real team effort, with a big thank you to our apprentice/trainee upholsterer who really excelled on this job. Also thank you to my son who came out in the evenings to help with all heavy lifting associated with a job of this size.

A huge thank you to Gordon for once again choosing Raymond Mackenzie Upholstery and trusting us with another project. Repeat business means a great deal to us, and we really appreciate the continued support.

We’d like to wish Gordon, Melissa and the whole team at Teddy’s every success with their venture. We hope the newly upholstered seating serves them and their customers well for many years to come. We hope to visit soon and try out the seats and the food for ourselves.

Thank you for supporting a local business and choosing to refurbish rather than replace.

So, it has been a while since sharing any work on here. It has just been a particularly busy time, both in and out of the workshop. As a result, concentrating on the actual upholstery work has been the order of the day.

Lots to share, but thought I would resume posting with this chair which was recently completed and returned to a delighted customer.

The chair had great sentimental value to my customer and it was a privilege to be entrusted with the upholstery work.

Lots of pattern matching and hand-sewing were involved in the process. Hours of intricate and labour intensive work were required to achieve the desired finish.

As an upholsterer it is important to take the time to stand back (not for too long of course🤣)and admire the finished result....the satisfaction is even greater when your customer also appreciates
your efforts.

All the work is our own but the surroundings in one of the photos are very much a 'camera trick'

Thanks for looking, and we will not be leaving it so long for the next 'show and tell'
