    So delighted, thank you

    Posted 30 April

    Sara has done a beautiful job repairing water damage on the top of my antique rosewood card table. From initial contact and photographs Sara gave a very prompt and fair quotation. I dropped the table off at her studio. Throughout the process of stripping down, french polishing and waxing, she has kept in contact and provided progress reports and photos on whatsapp. I am so so grateful. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her work. Thank you Sara x

    Sara at Happy Furniture studio did an amazing job on our 40 year old coffee table that had seen a lot of wear and tear! It now looks like new. She was so pleasant to deal with and kept us updated at all times. Would highly recommend!

HAPPILY RESTORING AND REFINISHING TREASURED WOODEN FURNITURE

Hi I’m Sara and I run a small, friendly company that prides itself on offering honest advice, value for money and quality craftswomanship. I’ll treat your furniture as if it was my own (whether it’s vintage or not-so-old) and give your treasured possessions a new lease of life.

FURNITURE RESTORATION, REFINISHING AND REPAIRING

Got vintage, antique or modern furniture that’s seen better days or has got damaged over time? Help is at hand. French polishing brings original surfaces back to life using conservation principles; contemporary refinishing restores the character of furniture; and sensitive repair work (e.g. on dining chairs – fixing legs, joints, scratches, wobbles and woodworm damage) makes furniture sturdy enough to stand the test of time.

UPHOLSTERY

I’m happy do to this on sets of dining chairs, single statement chairs, some armchairs (not recliners) and stools. I’ll fix/restore the piece if needs be, before reupholstering, and only use high-quality products that meet UK regulations.

Contact me for a friendly chat to see if I can help you out.
