Kate did a fantastic job repairing an Ercol table. One leg was completely shattered. It’s now impossible to tell which leg was damaged. Great service!

Thanks Helen for your glowing recommendation. It was a pleasure to of been able to restore it for you both.
Really pleased with the way these items have turned out. They looked very tired when I dropped them off with Kate and she has given a new lease of life. They look lovely. Kate is great and I would highly recommend her to everyone. These are the third and fourth pieces she has treated for me and they have all been great successes.

Thank you Mr Gill for the great review, so pleased you liked the finished results, and thank Charlotte for recommending me.
Kate was recommended to me by my joiners when I was looking for help to restore various pieces of old furniture. To date she has restored 2 items - a dressing table and a wooden shelf - both of which needed a lot of love. I’m so pleased with the results. Kate has restored them beautifully and I will definitely be taking other pieces of furniture to her in future. I would highly recommend her to everyone.

Thank you Mr Richardson for your 5 star review. I'm glad we were able to resolve your broken springs on your arm chair.
Kate is fantastic. I felt confident that she was going to do a great job in restoring our 30 year old cherry dining table that had gained a variety water marks and stains.
She's so enthusiastic because she loves what she does and it shows in her work. We're very happy with the result and another 30 years or so. ☺️

Thank you Carl for your glowing recommendation, much appreciated. It was a pleasure to restore it for you.
One large and extremly heavy dining room table and a matching smaller one in need of some love and restoration ! We finally decided that Kate was the right person to bring them back to life. There were concerns on both sides of how the heavy beast of a table would be transported to and from Kate’s workshop, With a little help everything went smoothly. The table well protected for transportation and the finish was exactly what we were looking for.
The due diligence we took leading us to Kate’s website paid off and she comes highly reccomended.

Thanks Fiona for the great review, it was a challenge! Please post pictures of before and after if possible.
Absolutely fab service, Kate has worked wonders with my dressing table matching it to the drawers next to them in the pictures. It was originally a very dated orange/brown colour and it now beautifully compliments our new bedroom furniture. We also have had a coffee table striped and restained and again a superb job. Would definitely recommend and use again in the future.

Thank you Angie for your great testimonials. The dressing table was a challlenge to remove years of wax and then try and colour match, but enjoyed it. So pleased you liked the finished results.
In these challenging times, when costs are spiralling, and our incomes are not rising to meet the cost of replacing, renewing our much loved and ageing furniture, there is an answer; and one you can trust. Femme Fatale Finishes is an excellent service, Kate is passionate about her work ensuring that you will receive the best quality service. Kate has transformed my kitchen, a once very tired and dated kitchen now looks like a high end kitchen; just by painting the doors and my free standing units, changing the knobs and using a paint choice that adds light and looks fresh and new I have a kitchen that I could be proud of for considerably less than what a newly fitted kitchen would have cost. The care and consideration Kate takes ensures that my ageing units were not damaged as I very much feared was a possibility. Kate has gone beyond meeting my expectations, and I am extremely happy with the results. Kate will assist and support you through the process , make welcoming suggestions; and is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in her craft. You put a lot of faith and trust when you engage the services off any expert in their field , nothing is beyond her ability or too small, and she is honest in her undertakings. I highly recommend Femme Fatale Finishes and I am already planning an upgrade and refurbishment of other pieces of furniture. Thank you Kate if I could give you more than 5 stars I would.

“Kate was absolutely wonderful—so friendly, easy to talk to, and nothing was ever too much trouble. My furniture looks incredible; the quality of the finish is amazing.” Would highly recommend her and will definitely be returning with future projects.

Thanks Nicola for the great review and the pictures, they look great. Look forward to hearing from you again in the future.
So glad I know Kate and the services she provides. Excellent service from start to finish and I cannot recommend FFF highly enough. I would give 6+ * if I could
My inital reaction when I saw the end result of work to the fireplace Kate was working on was ‘Wow’. A project that we started but we needed Kates expertise to give the project the finishing touch. Not only did Kate do that but she jumped onto the project at short notice. It’s amazing and such a focal point now
Can’t thank you enough Kate xx
