Cathy’s coffee table

Silky oak match!

Sideboard – a thank you to one of our big clients
The sideboard/buffet job was another one that one of our bigger clients wanted done for one of their clients (at no charge to the end user) to keep the ‘over-deliver’ feeling alive, so we like working with intermediates whereby our name is not known to the end user but everyone […]
