FOOKS House Stool Recover
As a wedding gift for Ben and Kylie I reupholstered this original Grant Featherston dressing room stool for their amazing Ernest Fooks house in Melbourne. Kangaroo leather with a FOOKS graphic, designed by Feride and me to suit the shape of the stool and sensitive to the period of the home. For good measure we included the happy skull saddle which is now hung in the house alongside some very nice works of art.

The King Lion: Century 100
The King Lion Selle Italia Century 100 saddle 'restored' for Steve at Velocraft. The red and blue panels are new kangaroo leather topstitched together. We kept the original centre panel to retain the embroidery and painted over the tired leather with some fresh yellow. It's not perfect but definitely looks better than when I received it.
