Jute & Honey : Upholstery & Homewares

Like any new small business, jute & honey, is a work in progress. I started this path to creative fulfillment over 10 years ago, when I was still living in Sydney. My life took a few twists and turns and I ended up here in the very beautiful green valley of Murrurundi, the crown of the Upper Hunter. The creative energy of this town eventually got my attention and settled in my bones and after nearly 30 years of working in the health industry, I decided it was time to make some changes.

jute & honey has come about by my need to repurpose, rebuild and restore a collection of chair frames that I collected and of course out of my love and addiction of fabrics new and vintage, great textures, incredible colours and all kinds of styles. I have an extensive collection of fabrics that I have been hunter gathering for over 30 years.

When you come to visit my workshop and space, you can expect to find some great chair frames that been given a fun, classic or quirky breath of life, luscious bed heads, great vintage and preloved homewares and one off industrial pieces, beautiful on trend homewares that have been sourced from fabulous suppliers from Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and New Zealand. I will be adding South Africa and Kenya to that, in the near future too. You will also be able to discuss with me, by appointment, your re-upholstery needs - we can look at fabric samples and we can turn a tired family heirloom into a one off statement piece for your home.

This is a new adventure for me - come and say hello when your passing through town.
