Her use of ornate metal work is delightfully sympathetic with the overall design. For the interior of the Caddy Janie created an intricate set of wooden parts to hold the two containers of my favourite teas.  \nThis splendid piece is undoubtedly destined to become a family heirloom to be cherished by many in the future!\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/morrisofportobello.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_2808-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"Barbara Leckstein\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__name\">Barbara Leckstein<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tI was delighted to receive this stunning plant stand as a gift for my 40th birthday.\n\nIt is sturdy and yet delicate.

I had seen a small dressing table in John Lewis, but thought it would be nice to have one to match the cabinet. Janie agreed, and quickly drew up a specification. She let me know in advance that it would be a bit more expensive than John Lewis, but I was happy to pay more for a craft-made product. Janie invited me to her workshop to look at a wood sample, so I could be sure it would match other furniture. When the dressing table arrived, I thought it was slightly tall \u2013 I hadn\u2019t been able to visualise the dimensions that Janie had sent me in her proposal. No problem at all \u2013 she came back with a colleague and her equipment, and reduced the dressing table to the height I suggested. It\u2019s perfect, and I\u2019m really proud of my bedroom furniture, which is great quality, stylish and unique.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/morrisofportobello.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Untitled-design-6.png\" alt=\"Veronica Bamber\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__name\">Veronica Bamber<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIt was a delight working with Janie from the first moment of designing our piece of furniture together to when she delivered our chest of drawers.

I was in need of a creative thinking cabinetmaker of quality.  I found one in Janie.\n\nA number of stones from the former West Window of the 15th. century St. Mary\u2019s Church, now South Leith Parish Church, were found in various parts of the old graveyard.  I resolved to have these preserved by forming them as the base of a large table to be built into the magnificent oak panelled Vestibule.\n\nConstruction and cabinetmaking skills were essential.  After the masons had formed the plinth and upright stones Janie secured the ancient tracery stones by designing and inserting stainless steel dowels clad in superbly turned oak.\n\nNext followed the design of a complex torsion box to be fixed to the tracery stones . This was essential for locking in place the oak top.    Bronze and Silver Tokens commemorating the 400th. and 500th. Anniversaries of the founding of the Church were inserted in what is, truly, a unique table,  beautifully matched to the oak panelling of the Vestibule.\n\nWith all of that which Janie has achieved she has added more to a fascinating history.  Generations to come will delight in and learn from her  thinking and superb craftsmanship.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/morrisofportobello.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/vestibule-table-2.jpg\" alt=\"Gordon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__name\">Gordon<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Previous<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Next<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-156ca2f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"156ca2f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d9b6515\" data-id=\"d9b6515\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a64ee8d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a64ee8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our new shower room needed some elegant and practical options for the limited space available.
