About Elizabeth
My journey from primary school teacher to upholsterer began with a leisure class that quickly grew into a passion. Always creative, I was drawn to the unique combination of craftsmanship, problem solving, and design that upholstery offers. Inspired to take my skills further, I completed the AMUSF three-year diploma in upholstery, achieving distinctions throughout and culminating in winning a national graduate award from The Worshipful Company of Upholders.
What I love most about upholstery is the process itself, the mindful focus it demands, the physicality of the work, and the challenge of finding solutions for each individual piece. There is something deeply rewarding about giving tired furniture a new lease of life, transforming it into something beautiful and functional for customers to enjoy for many years to come.
For me, upholstery is not only a creative outlet but also a sustainable practice, helping treasured pieces to be reloved and reimagined rather than replaced.

What my customers say…
“We have had two chairs completely restored and upholstered by Lizzy. Both chairs had an important history in our family and Lizzy treated them with such care and love which translates into an exquisite level of detail and workmanship. Lizzy supported us through every level of the process helping us to choose the right fabrics and make the right design choices. Lizzy is really knowledgeable and sympathetic to the history and style of furniture. We are absolutely delighted with our chairs and would use Lizzy again and again!”

“Lizzy has made a wonderful job of restoring and renovating my uncomfortable Victorian armchair. She consulted with me, made useful suggestions and helped me source a suitable fabric. I am delighted with the finished piece - thank you very much”
Helen - St Albans
“We absolutely love the ottoman that Lizzy created with love, care and so much thought - making it perfect for our room. It is beautiful on the outside, and the detail on the inside is so personal and such a delight every time it is opened. Lizzy has patience, an eye for detail and settles for nothing less than perfection”
