Ella Jenkins Designs

Hello and welcome to Ella Jenkins Designs. I specialise in the upholstery of vintage and antique furniture. I lovingly restore and reinvent old pieces of furniture using beautiful fabrics and sometimes hand painted chalk-paint finishes, so if you have a favourite piece of furniture that is tired and worn, let me update and transform it for you.

I am based in a small village just 6 miles north of the beautiful market town of Stamford. I am happy to take work within a 25 mile radius of my workshop which includes Stamford, Grantham, Oakham, Rutland, Bourne and Peterborough.

I have a small selection of unique pieces that I have fully restored for sale. If you are looking something a little different, a complete one off then take a look in my For Sale page.

Finally, I have a select range of beautiful handmade cushions and decorative home accessories using vintage and antique fabrics for sale via my Etsy Shop.
