Two Settees for refurbishment (Crondall GU10) One 3-seater and one 2-seater settee, with washable loose covers. They were purchased from Multiyork 25 years ago, and need refurbishing. The frames are OK but the steel webbing that supports the coil springs is bent and needs replacing, especially on the two-seater. The two-seater needs a new hessian lining underneath. The cushions are ok on both settees, feather back-cushions and fibre-wrapped seat cushions. The loose covers need replacing on both settees.

Ikea POANG armchair, vintage 1990's (Crondall GU10) Gifted This vintage IKEA Poang chair is from mid-1990s, but useable and very comfortable. Birch-wood frame, the back is tubular metal with a sprung seat base, covered in beige hessian. The removeable cream cotton cover is washable and needs repairing along the front edge (see photos). NOTE this chair is slightly wider and slightly shorter than the modern Poang, so if you buy a modern replacement cover it may not fit exactly. Alternatively just replace the front binding yourself.

Cotton upholstery/lining fabric, 16 metres, 152cm wide (GU10) Gifted Cream/ivory colour, heavy-weight fabric with a small twill weave visible on one side. Note: the colour is a pale cream, not beige as it appears in the photos. I estimate at least 16 metres, so a substantial amount of fabric. There is very small area of brown foxing near one edge, and my cat has left a few paw-prints in another small area (both will probably wipe off). I've had this for at least 10 years and I can no longer remember what I bought it for, possibly to make conservtory blinds. Great for all sorts of projects from upholstery/soft furnishings to bag-making to toy-making.

Small picture/photo frames (GU10) Gifted I have a large number of small photo frames with clip fastenings, 6 x 4 inches (15 x 10 cms). The glass fronts and hardboard backs are all in good condition, but some of the little metal clips are rusty. Can you find a good use for these? I would hate to take them to the tip. You don't have to take all of them, I'd be happy to get rid of just a few!
