This week we are showcasing a really great Before and After.

The shape of this chair is so unique and so fun - it was a real treat to get to breath new life into it!

BEFORE. The old blue material is lots of fun but it was faded and worn in spots

This week we’re sharing a unique piece from the heart. The wood on this little chair was cleaned and buffed. The seat is upholstered in a custom piece of cross stitch done by the owner with fabric border to compliment it.

It’s one of a kind and beautiful.

The sun is shining (finally) and the streets have been swept so it’s officially “old timey car” season.

We employ one of the most talented automotive upholsterers in the city, nae, the province but sadly he will be retiring from the field this summer. However, should you need some very excellent, very custom work done on an old timey vehicle, call us, as our talent can be swayed to come in for the really cool jobs.

This chair makes me smile uncontrollably.

The hot pink material paired with the fun floral makes this (normally) mature chair so approachable and relaxed.
