About Kellymere
Kellymere is a local information archive focused on DIY furniture restoration in Singapore. The content covers sanding and stripping methods, wood staining and finishing, reupholstery fundamentals, and sourcing reclaimed timber across the island.
The material is written for residents who want to restore furniture at home rather than discard it. Singapore generates roughly 270,000 tonnes of wood waste annually, according to the National Environment Agency. A significant portion of this comes from discarded household furniture that could be repaired with basic techniques and accessible materials.
What This Archive Covers
Each article addresses a specific stage of the restoration process. Topics include surface preparation (chemical stripping and sandpaper grit progression), finish application (oil-based and water-based stains, polyurethane, natural oils, wax), fabric selection for tropical humidity, foam density guidelines for seat cushions, and practical sourcing information for materials available within Singapore.
The guides reference real suppliers, stores, and industrial estates where materials can be purchased. Prices and availability are noted where applicable. All content is specific to the Singapore context, accounting for HDB flat constraints, humidity levels between 70% and 90%, and local regulations on chemical and waste disposal.
Editorial Approach
Articles are updated when new information becomes available or when referenced suppliers change their locations or product lines. Each guide includes a "last updated" date at the top. External links direct to authoritative government agencies, established retailers, and recognised industry references. No content is based on automated generation without editorial review.
