Michael & Elizabeth’s office desk during restoration. Michael had this piece “restored” evidently by a someone intent on ripping them off. We’ve now re-done the job properly. The couple was very pleased that Elizabeth sent us a note saying “Your team are a real credit to you, the results that […]
Liz is restoring her mum’s old sea chest for her. Liz’s mum & dad live in Sydney but when they were visiting Liz in Brisbane and saw the job we did on Liz’s mahogany extension table, she wanted us to restore her sea chest! Not bad! Now getting work sent […]

Dean could not bear to leave the old drab white linen upholstery on his chairs after we restored them. What else can we say apart from “WOW!”
The insurance company wrote this piece off as water damaged and told Sally to arrange for some replacement quotes. We quoted over $5,000 to replace it but also quoted under $3,000 to restore it. So many people make the sad mistake of thinking that all furniture is written off after […]
