Welcome to our ‘Perfectly Frank’ Blog.
After years spent restoring beautiful period property interiors, the more we appreciate the craftsmanship of the designers of the day. We felt the need to talk about how to respectfully restore and look after original features. So, we started writing our regular ’Perfectly Frank’ blog.
