What to know locally in Mpumalanga
Farmhouses around Lydenburg, Belfast and Carolina often have old riempie benches, yellowwood or imbuia dining chairs and heavy armchairs that deserve proper restoration. In Mbombela suburbs such as Sonheuwel and Nelspruit Extension, families recover lounge suites and get new foam for sagging seats. Guesthouses in Dullstroom, Sabie and Graskop ask for buttoned headboards, wingback chairs by the fireplace and cushions for dining chairs, usually done in batches between busy weekends.
Mpumalanga: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Two quite different kinds of work meet in this province. On the Lowveld side, lodges and guesthouses around Hazyview, White River and the edge of the Kruger need headboards, lounge chairs and game drive vehicle seats redone between seasons, and the humid summers bring mould into cushions that are stored badly. Up on the Highveld, the coal and power station towns of eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda send bakkie seats, fleet vehicle interiors and canteen and office chairs to motor trimmers in their industrial areas. Upholsterers in Mbombela and the Highveld towns serve the smaller places around them, from Dullstroom to Ermelo, so expect a collection fee or a trip into town with the piece in the back of a bakkie.
