the exquisite design and upholstery work of sally nencini....

"Each of Sally's bespoke upholstered pieces is a unique response to the vintage chair and its character; the story of its use and its user. The fabric sourcing and craft-treatment give the chair a new life but also acknowledge its idiosyncratic past life. Sally will work to commission, sourcing furniture around a brief or responding to a family piece in need of reworking with the same research and consultation process. Sally's cushions, bags and toys sample pattern-motifs from vintage nursery toys and fabrics. The knitted pieces can be made to order, or purhased online at her Etsy shop.

Sally, from County Armagh, Northern Ireland, studied MA Fashion at the Royal College of Art and has designed for, amongst others, Levi's and M&S. Since bringing up a young family, she has retrained in upholstery. Her long-held interest in handworked craft, surface pattern and vintage"

we had such fun working with the bride, to create the textile flowers and succulents for the table centerpieces and cake decoration... as well as for the bridal bouquet, the boutonnieres for the groom and groomsmen, and the bouquets and hair bands for the sweet flower girls...  

so wonderful to work with this lovely bride, for her beautiful handmade and vintage inspired wedding

congratulations!

ill seen, ill said...

love the beautiful blog ill seen, ill said and nearly swooned upon seeing her beautiful post about the olde bell inn. wouldn't this be such an amazing place to stay? feels more home like than like an inn... and the design inspiration could easily be incorporated into your own home.

be sure to visit jane's new shop, coterie, where you can find the beautiful blankets displayed in the first photo above, along with other goodies.
