— behind the scenes

From a pencil sketch to a piece that will be treasured.

Every commission moves through six unhurried stages. Here's what each one looks like.

Home/Process

Phase 01

The conversation

It starts with a phone call or an email. We talk about the room, the child, the story you want to tell. No commitment, no pressure.

Phase 02

Rebecca hand-draws two or three concepts and sends them back with a clear, itemised quote. Iterate as much as you like.

Phase 03

Once approved, we hand-pick the boards. FSC-certified European oak, ash, or tulipwood — chosen by grain, not just by spec.

Phase 04

Cut, planed and joined in the workshop. Traditional joinery wherever possible — built to outlive trends and survive jumping on.

Phase 05

Hand-sanded to satin, then painted, lettered or gilded by hand using child-safe, water-based, low-VOC finishes.

Phase 06

Wrapped, personally delivered and assembled in the room. We don't leave until you and the little one are smiling.
