Hi, we are Mike and Melanie, a father-daughter team.

As a successful Interior Designer for many years, Mike was a Partner for a firm of Chartered Accountants all his working life. I was taken aback over six years ago when Mike AK Dad said, 'I'd like to go into business with you; what do you think?' I jumped at the chance as I respect him, and we get on so well together. Then came the tricky part, what business?

As an interior designer, I always struggled to find pieces of furniture I liked. So, I suggested updating or repurposing furniture people no longer wanted. We bought a few pieces and a few tools and started working outside and in the garage on rainy days throughout the Spring and Summer initially. We also have a carpenter who comes weekly to repair or repurpose pieces we cannot; he is called Rob, my sister-in-law's dad, who fits in with us like a glove. So, I can safely say we are a family business.

People seemed to like our furniture, and we started selling. We decided to invest in a purpose-built Stable as our workshop, which resides in Mum and Dad's field, which suits the surroundings perfectly. We have grown our business over the years, and last year we doubled the size of our workshop to store furniture and workshop area and looking to extend again. We found an increasing number of people contacting us to see if we could revive their furniture; this is when we introduced commissions as a service we now provide. We have met some lovely and wonderful people along the way, and many have repeatedly returned to us.
