Worth every penny, even if I do say so myself. Beautiful paintings created by @sylvesterartist.bsky.social replicated in detail onto a tactile, high quality velvet then handmade into large cushions by me. A lot of compliments from those who saw them in person at Andy’s wonderful exhibition…

A question for jelly fans (those who eat it rather than those who play in it in the bath… although as experts I’m up for your answers too!).

Proud that Muse Bespoke Upholstery has been included in The List, curated by House & Garden. Hard work has got me there but feels great to be acknowledged by people who understand the industry, resulting in being included on their trusted list of approved experts in their fields
