A Mega-Home for Mini-Beasts

This impressive trio of bespoke mini-beast habitats was a special commission designed to create a haven for local wildlife right in a client’s front garden. Crafted from locally reclaimed scaffold boards, each geometric structure mirrors the bay windows it sits beneath, adding architectural interest. The multi-sectional design allows for various suitable substrates, providing the perfect environment to encourage a thriving ecosystem of beneficial insects and other small creatures, all while elegantly supporting planters atop them

The brief for this project was to solve a common problem: how to display a growing plant collection while being able to store it away in winter.

This piece effortlessly folds up, providing a beautiful and practical way to enjoy your garden all summer long before neatly tucking it away for the off-season.

The Perfect Fit

Bespoke Shoe Rack

The Perfect Fit

A client with a growing family approached me for a custom storage solution to help organise their entryway. They needed a piece that was not only functional but also matched the style and finish of their existing furniture. Working to their specific dimensions, I designed and built this multi-level shoe rack with a deep bottom drawer for extra storage. Finished in a natural stain by Littlefairs, it now fits seamlessly into their home.

Spirited Transformation

Spirited Transformation

A good customer contacted us with a request to turn their old family dining table into a custom cocktail cabinet, while saving as much of the original ware and marks as possible, including some handwring that had been impressed onto it from a child doing their homework. 

We used the table’s lines to create some shaping for the doors and added custom shelving, as well as a mirror. This gave the cabinet a unique look that was personal to the customer.

Purposeful Design

Slatted Shoe bench

Purposeful Design

A client approached me seeking a solution to conceal their fibre broadband installation, keeping the router and sockets out of reach of little fingers. We discussed creating a functional and practical piece that would blend seamlessly into their home.

The result was this unique shoe bench for their entry hall. Crafted from reclaimed vintage pine sourced from a closed secondhand bookshop, the bench not only complements their period floorboards but also features a slatted design that allows for ventilation while maintaining a stylish appearance.

Reclaimed Makeover

Reclaimed Makeover

A change of ownership for an East Sussex coffee shop (https://www.babylatte.co.uk) meant the new owner was looking to refresh the image. They wanted to use as many reclaimed and sustainable options as possible in the process.

They were looking for some hardwearing reclaimed wooden tables to fit their space that could stand up to lots of use and be easily cleaned.

The boards that were used in this project were sourced locally within 13 miles from the coffee shop from a scaffolding company that was closing its doors. These were then meticulously sanded and cracks filled to enable easy cleaning and wiping, aided by a water-based topcoat that provides a tough, water- and scratch-resistant surface.

Five reclaimed scaffold tables and a matching bench are now in place and have helped to transform the interior to the new owner’s vision for their business.

 

The easiest bespoke ordering service. Rowan guided me through the process advising me what products would be suitable for my need and use. I love the finished product and we keep getting compliments on our new tables! I’ve just placed my second order and can’t wait to see this larger table.

Reclaimed Geometric Mirror

Reborn

A customer who had recently moved into a property and was in the process of renovating it found a large piece of vintage mirror in the roof space. They also had leftover timber from the work on the home and stored by the previous owner .
Working with the customer to develop the design, this statement piece was created. It now creates a great impact in their entrance hall.

Found The Right Home

Geometric Shelf

Found The Right Home

This geometric shelf was customised from one of our original designs. We added the natural tessellation pattern of cut ended bamboo into one of the spaces giving honeycomb bee vibes.

This was commissioned by a teacher and fittingly it was made from timber from old school gym equipment and with bamboo that was cut down from a garden clearance.

This gives the top a truly one of a kind look with an interesting story.
