Red Lion - mission accomplished

Reloved Vintage helps with dining room redesign at The Red Lion pub in Stathern, Leicestershire

Last month, I told you about our exciting project with The Red Lion in Stathern, Leicestershire.

Now, after getting through many sheets of sandpaper, several tins of paint, a whole load of varnish and a lot of hard work, the job is complete and the pub looks great.

...and after!

On top of stripping and repainting all the dining room’s tables and picture frames, we were asked to act as design consultants for the whole project.

The owners had already decided on the general colourscheme and flooring they wanted, and Laura was able to make suggestions on which paints would best compliment each other for the walls and wood paneling.

We also suggested a shelf of food and cookery related books – and provided a few vintage pieces to add a little more rustic charm to an already beautiful room.

We’re delighted with how the room looks – the decorators and flooring teams have done a superb job and the owners, Ben and Sean, brought their own ideas to the table and have come up with some really great, eye-catching talking points. Everyone at The Red Lion was a delight to work with and we wish them every success for the future.

It’s a great pub, with amazing food – we very highly recommend paying a visit.

Reloved Vintage helps with interior design of Red Lion in Stathern

We’re delighted to tell you all that we will be spending the next few weeks on an exciting new project with one of our absolute favourite local businesses. We’re helping The Red Lion, in Stathern, Leicestershire, with the makeover of its main dining room – which means we’re going to be stripping and painting a LOT of tables!

As well as reloving the furniture, we’ve been asked by bosses Ben and Sean to help with design aspects of the room – our first ever job as interior design consultants!We’re so utterly chuffed to have been asked to get involved. The Red Lion, in the beautiful Vale of Belvoir, has a Michelin Bib Gourmand and is the sister pub of the Michelin-starred Olive Branch, just up the road from us in Clipsham, Rutland.The whole project should be finished by mid August and we can’t wait to show you the finished results.
