Featured project, Wexford

From garage to walnut bar

An unused plastered shell became a pool room and a home office and gym, with a beautiful handcrafted bar in solid walnut as the main feature.

Before and after

Burgundy to bottle green

“Big transformation on this project adding some traditional style panelling really transformed this space”

James Fortune, April 2025

Both photos are James’s own, from one reel. The before is straightened so the wall lines up with the after.

Panel moulding stepped around a window sill on the bottle green wall.
After: the same hall with a bottle green panelled wall and pale carpet.
Before: a hall with a plain burgundy wall and striped carpet.
