SERVICE OF THE MONTH

BACK IN THYME Exceptional Custom Wood Furniture

In the bustling neighbourhood of Hillcrest, where history meets modernity, there’s a hidden gem that captures the essence of timelessness through its craft. Back in Thyme, a remarkable business specialising in custom wood furniture, has been chosen as our Service of the Month, and it’s no surprise why. They offer much more than just woodwork; they provide a unique blend of craftsmanship and creativity, bringing to life exquisite custom wood furniture, shabby chic treasures, and heirloom pieces that transform homes and offices into spaces of beauty and functionality.

One of the most striking aspects of Back in Thyme is their unwavering dedication to creating custom wood furniture that is not only functional but also a piece of art. From intricate dining tables to cozy, handcrafted bed frames, their work reflects the passion and precision that goes into each piece. The process begins with a consultation to understand your vision and requirements, and from there, their skilled artisans bring it to life with a careful selection of woods and a keen eye for detail.

Whether you’re seeking a rustic, reclaimed wood dining table, a modern minimalist coffee table, or a statement piece for your office, Back in Thyme has the expertise and creativity to bring your ideas to fruition.

Their commitment to quality is evident in the flawless finish and sturdy construction of their furniture, ensuring that every piece is built to last for generations.

Back in Thyme’s dedication to traditional craftsmanship shines through in their woodwork. They have mastered the art of working with wood in all its forms, creating exceptional pieces that harken back to the days when handcrafted furniture was a symbol of quality and authenticity. Their woodwork includes everything from classic cabinets to finely crafted wooden decorations, allowing you to infuse a touch of timeless beauty into your living spaces.

For those with a penchant for all things vintage, Back in Thyme offers a delightful range of shabby chic furniture that breathes new life into forgotten pieces. With a keen eye for aesthetics and a passion for reviving the past, they can often transform old, tired furniture into charming, distressed works of art. The result is a beautiful collection of shabby chic furniture that adds character and charm to any room, blending seamlessly with both traditional and contemporary decor styles.

What sets Back in Thyme apart is their commitment to creating heirloom pieces. They understand that furniture should not only serve a practical purpose but also carry sentimental value and stories that can be passed down through generations. Whether it’s a custom-made piece designed to commemorate a special occasion or an heirloom restoration project that breathes life into a cherished family relic, Back in Thyme’s craftsmanship ensures that your furniture becomes a part of your family’s history. Their greatest joy is when you get exactly what you wanted, or even better than you envisaged.

We’re thrilled to recognize Back in Thyme in Hillcrest as our Service of the Month. If you’re in the Hillcrest area, make sure to pay them a visit and experience the magic of timeless furniture firsthand.

The rise of the QR code Bridge the gap between the online and offline worlds with QR codes.

Increase your brand awareness, generate more leads, and enhance customer engagement.

Did you know?

With dynamic QR Codes, you can edit the QR Code data as many times as required and get access to scan analytics to better optimize your marketing campaigns. This mean you can place on QR code in the directory, but modify the content anytime, even after printing.

E.g restaurants can update menu’s, businesses can display latest specials, etc.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased QR code usage in South Africa. According to a survey conducted by World Wide Worx in 2020, 52% of South African respondents reported having scanned a QR code in the past.

Businesses place these QR Codes in strategic locations and on products for consumers to scan using their smartphones and move them through the marketing funnel by giving consumers access to the right information at the right time.

Examples of landing pages:
