This little sofa gives me alllll the heart eyes. I have a real soft spot for velvet, and especially green velvet. There’s something so rich and lush about it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I love the before and the after of this share today! We made custom slip covers for a client and they look amazing. Now they have two different and beautiful options to style their home.

Enjoy.

The original chair in grey with nail head detail and the custom slip cover in a lush gold.

Today I’m sharing the coolest footstool I’ve ever seen!

This is a beloved family heirloom that needed to be recovered and refilled. The client even had a photo of his baby sister sitting on it from years ago - amazing.

It’s been restored to it’s original glory and ready for many more years of service.

Look at this one of a kind piece!!

This chair has been upholstered in a hand made quilt and off set with complimentary fabrics. It’s so unique and such a great hand me down piece.

Waste Not, Want Not

I came across a really interesting info graphic recently about the challenges and opportunities in the furniture industry and am excited to share it with you.

It’s shocking to see just how much waste we create but it’s also really inspiring to see that reusing what we already have can make a big impact on our world.

Thank you Kay Chesterfield Inc Re-Upholstery for compiling this graphic.

Look at this beautiful little slipper chair! It’s been upholstered in a floral Charlotte fabric that fits the style just perfectly!

Times, they are a changing!

How much do you love those posters that list the news headlines, popular songs and movies, and the cost of items on your birth year? I totally love them. I love getting a glimpse into the past.

We recently had a client give us such a glimpse. They brought in a receipt for the recovery of 6 dining room chair seats, dated November 8, 1989 done by Trevor Brown Upholstery. It is an actual hand written receipt also - blows my mind!

Spoiler - the price of upholstery has definitely increased in the last 30 years but it is very interesting to see and have an actual receipt from Trevor Brown Upholstery past.

(also, that person must have a meticulous filing system - I can barely find my keys)

Today’s share is a set of gorgeous dining room chairs. They’ve been upholstered in a simple black vinyl but the contrast with the wood is just perfection. Enjoy.

Today I’m sharing this cozy chair. The client chose a really fun material in blue and green tones and we did a custom headrest - looks like nap time to me!
