Homestead Creative Hi I’m Karen, an Orcadian based in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. I make beautiful handmade Footstools and Wall Hangings. Commissions welcome 😊 We love chairs!

We love to breathe life into tired old chairs with beautiful fabrics and reinvigourated woodwork. Homestead Upholstery is a small but developing upholstery business based in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. It was set up in 2014 by Karen Knowles who is passionate about chairs. We specialise in taking unloved vintage and retro chairs and giving them a new life by bringing them right back up to date without losing their original charm. We strip them back to the frame removing old fabric and any tired fillings. We give the woodwork some TLC with lovely rich wax then build them back up again using high quality materials. Finally (and most importantly), we add gorgeous fabrics to create beautiful one off chairs. Have a look at our gallery to see some of the work we have done.

Hey Folks! 👋🏻

** TAG A SMALL BUSINESS BELOW **

How’s everyone this fine Saturday morning? I hope storm Austen hasn’t caused too much trouble for you. We just had lots of rain!

The clocks go back tomorrow and bring in darker evenings. At least there’s a bit more light on the morning for a bit.

Apparently there’s 62 days until Christmas. That’s plenty of time to support small businesses producing lovely handmade things.

Help them increase their reach by tagging them in the comments! ⬇️

Or if you’re a small business making gorgeous gifts give yourself a shout out! It’s good to help each other out 🥰

I’ll make a start by tagging some of my faves! Check them out and give them a follow if you like what you see!

Have a great weekend folks! Karen x

The night are drawing in and that can only mean one thing - beautiful sunsets and if you are really lucky the aurora borealis!

Work in progress - a peedie blackbird on a wall. I love watching them in the garden hopping about. I’ll hopefully get this finished today before I head to the airport.

I’m heading home to Orkney for a much needed family time and plenty of sea air!

Let me know what you’re up to this weekend. Have a good one whatever you’re doing! Karen x

I’ve finished the monochrome minis. I’m really pleased with them. I’ll pop them in my shop tomorrow morning.

They measure approx w:9cm x h:40cm and are £45 including UK P&P.

I love the Ellen Baker fabric on the back. It’s important they look good on both sides!

Have a lovely Thursday whatever you’re doing! Karen xx

Happy Tuesday! How’s everyone today?

Monochrome mini hangers are underway today at Homestead HQ. I do like a splash of colour though so have added a hint of colour to one.

Give me a like and a 🌈 or 🖤 in the comments if you see this post and let me know if you prefer black & white or a splash of colour.

Have a great day! Karen x
