About Me

Hiya love! I’m Rebecca, a Manchester-born, dog-loving, furniture-obsessed creative with a passion for bringing tired, unloved pieces back to life. Whether it’s bespoke upholstery, furniture restoration, or sustainable interior styling, I specialise in transforming secondhand finds into one-of-a-kind statement pieces.

I started my journey in upcycling and furniture restoration, which led me to train in upholstery under the legendary Simion Hawtin-Smith at Reloved Upholstery & Design. Now, from my studio in Vernon Mill, Stockport, I craft high-quality, custom upholstery and hand-finished furniture for homes, businesses, and even stylish set designs.

Beyond upholstery, I also dive into the world of prop building and styling—creating stunning setups for photoshoots, events, and even cookbooks (because good food deserves a gorgeous backdrop, right?). My work blends sustainability, craftsmanship, and creative design, ensuring that every piece not only looks incredible, but has a story to tell and is planet friendly.

So, if you’re on the hunt for handcrafted, sustainable furniture in Greater Manchester, need help with custom upholstery, or want to bring your interior styling vision to life, let’s chat! Drop by my studio, bring your old furniture (or just some dog treats), and let’s create something amazing together.
