Full interior for this Buccaneer, going from typical blue and white to sand, brown and black. The new colour scheme really elevates the boat overall, taking it to a whole new level.

Riverside marine vinyl from WT Distributors, finished in a diamond pattern stitching. The old carpet came out and in went EVA foam in a brushed teak style. It's non slip and a lot more comfortable underfoot than what was there before.

The last photo is what it looked like once everything was out. Quite the before. Full gut.

Summer is closer than it looks. If your boat needs attention before boat season is in full swing, get in touch early.

This one's ready, whether summer is or not.

A leather squab for the new Rodd & Gunn store on Helwick St.

Tasman Settler leather in colour Tapa, from Lapco for Leather. A rich tan with contrast stitching, and a strap detail that gives it a bit more character than a plain cushion.

It's a simple shape, so the stitching has to be right. Nowhere to hide.

Good to have a bit of Wanaka Upholstery sitting in a new Wanaka store.

People are often surprised to hear we're not actually in town.

We're Wanaka Upholstery and we serve the Wanaka area and beyond, but the workshop is out at Hawea Flat. It's home-based. We moved home in 2017 after baby number two, for more flexibility and more time with the kids.

We did have a brief stint back in town earlier this year. We keep reconsidering a return to the little big smoke, and the cons keep winning.

So we're still working from home, and we're available by appointment. Please call ahead or email to arrange a time (contact details in our bio).

Come out and see us. Bingo will supervise.

From concept to reality. A vibrant turquoise sofa for a tiny house in downtown Wanaka.

Back squabs are feather and down wraps over foam for luxurious sink in comfort with the inner structure for support and help keep their shape.

An eye-catching, machine washable, chenille fabric from Designers Guild, Canezza Turquoise. Supplied by The Material Girls Wanaka. Soft touch, practical and hard wearing 👌

In the workshop this week, we have more variety...

An advertisement banner needing some additional loops sewn in, two wee footstools (wait till you see the new fabric), wear and tear repairs on a few PVC bags we made 5 years ago, full reupholstery job for a tattoo table in need of new vinyl and the Chaise is back from the owners giving the woodwork some love once it was all stripped down.

Is there anything we can't do?! No... but some things we won't.

Check out our FAQs (highlights or website) to find out what some of those are...

Ahhh, we love a good DIY repair job.

This ride on mower seat back had seen better days. Nothing a bit of electrical tape could fix, right?

Luckily, the owner had finally come to the conclusion that it was time to sort it out properly before it got any worse, or the seat started to look the same way!

Queue foam repairs and protective cover using RECacril acrylic canvas in Charcoal Grey from Reid and Twiname Ltd.
