Part 5 – Restoration of Child’s Rocking Chair

In this, the last part of the restoration of the child’s rocking chair, you’ll see the final finished piece.  The rocking chair has now been finished with the customer’s chosen fabric.  It has been re-upholstered with new padding and webbing.  The leg has been repaired with a hidden screw.  The poles that hold the fabric have been reinforced with resin and hold the new fabric and webbing tightly. The patina of the original rocking chair has been saved with a light waxing.

We can also upcycle your furniture. If you would like one of your special pieces of furniture upcycled to your specification, please get in touch for a no-obligation quotation (sheila@the-fairy-shop.scot) We are within easy reach of Edinburgh and the west of the Scottish Borders.

Butterfly Drawer Set

This amazing drawer set has been brought up-to-date with dog-rose and ivy transfers which give it an incredible outline against the background of walnut and rose-gold.  The matching butterfly handles in rose-gold also complement this base.  If that wasn’t enough, Shiela has added 3D moulds to pick out features.  This was a refurbishment to a special customer’s own drawers and the bold decor was just right.

Furniture Restoration – Part 3

In the third part of our furniture restoration on the child’s rocking chair, you can see it filled with the epoxy resin.  After it’s dry (24hrs) , we can re-pin the new fabric and hessian straps.  The woodworm will be soaked after the sanding just to make sure that there’s no new infestation.

Furniture Restoration Part 2 – repair

In the second part of our furniture repair on the child’s rocking chair, you’ll see it striped of the fabric and cushion layers and the repair to the leg joint.  As you can see, when the fabric is removed, the poles and crossbeams are very ‘hole-y’.  Therefore, we need to fill these with epoxy resin before we can re-pin the new fabric and hessian straps.  The fix on the leg went very well, and once it’s been stained and blended with wax it should be very discreet.  A sliver of the original leg was used to cover the screw-head.  There is a fair bit of woodworm, so we’ll take care of that too.

Furniture Restoration – a child’s rocking chair

I thought I’d try a photo record of our latest furniture restoration project.  This is a child’s rocking chair which has a good deal of age and has been well-loved.  The current fabric isn’t the original and the poles that support the fabric are nail-sick.  Also, the rockers have a touch of woodworm that we’ll be taking care of along the way.  The lady would like it re-covered in a hard-wearing woven fabric.  Please follow us as we restore this chair using some of the skills that we’ve learned.

We can also upcycle your furniture. If you would like one of your special pieces of furniture upcycled to your specification, please get in touch for a no-obigation quotation (sheila@the-fairy-shop.scot) We are within easy reach of Edinburgh and the west of the Scottish Borders.

It’s a Saturday … and I’m he

Sheila’s gone to visit our grandaughter for her 1st birthday celebration, so if you’re on your way to Droopy Dandelion today, you’ll see that I’m in the chair today.  Although I’ll do my best to help you round the shop, I’m confident that I won’t be able to do it as well as Sheila does.  Especially when the children come in.  Can you imagine me trying to step into the head-fairy character?  No neither can I! Navertheless, come and check out our latest addition of a large fairy door.

Our little friends have been hard at work again making a super fairy door. This isn’t your ordinary common garden fairy door that sits level with your skirting boards, it’s a large fairy door for outside fairy gardens (24x32x3cms). It can be fitted to trees tucked away at the back of your garden where you let your imagination go. Decorated with mouldings and decoupaged with flowers and butterflies it would complement your existing garden feature or make a great start to a new one. The fairy door has been sealed to make it able to resist the elements so that you can be sure that your fairy friends will have a lovely looking entrance for years to come. If you would like one of your special pieces to add to your garden, please get in touch (sheila@the-fairy-shop.scot) We are within easy reach of Edinburgh and the west of the Scottish Borders.

Feather Bedside Cabinets

What a privilege it was to be able to create these for Marion.  A little walk from my usual style but these have great sentimental value in memory of life events.  These started life as solid wood bedside cabinets in need of some TLC.  With some chalk paint blending, the addition of feather mouldings and hand-stencilling they have been re-invented as show-topping focal pieces in her room.  We are happy to customise furniture to your own specifications.  Please contact us to discuss your needs on 07380854171.
