I've had these Target benches for over ten years. They were first used as an ottoman in our first lakehouse and then as ottomans in our current lake house. As with most of my furniture, they made the rounds to different rooms when I got the itch to move things around. They would eventually make… Continue reading Bedroom Benches
Well, this was a first (and hopefully the last) type of experience in delivering a finished slipcover. With the Coronavirus on the rise, the "normal" way of doing business suddenly got turned on it's head and forced us all to look at our processes a little differently. More on that later, but now on to… Continue reading Special Delivery (A Tale of Two Chairs)
Winter is pretty much behind us, with the exception of a few days here and there that seem to remind us that it has technically a few more days left. But the warm days forecasted in the future and the calendar officially turning to March certainly has us all thinking about getting ready for outdoor… Continue reading Cushions: Fit, Foam & Fabric (Are You Ready for Spring?)
Carolyn drove a long way to bring me her Ethan Allan couch, chair and ottoman. Though in perfect condition structurally, the fabric was showing signs of wear and needed some attention. She wanted a new casual look and definitely liked the idea of washing the covers to keep them fresh and clean. Before pictures....Ethan Allan… Continue reading Bull Denim Slipcovers
My client Jenny is in that familiar state of transition. You know, the time where your kids have all but left the nest and pursuing a life of their own but you're too young to retire just yet. Currently in a townhome, they do envision this a temporary place until the next phase. Even then,… Continue reading Slipcovers for a State of Transition
This wing chair sat quietly in the corner of this client's living room, unnoticed except for the fact that it was clearly didn't fit into the décor and color scheme, though it filled the need to fill a space. My client was in the midst of updating a lot of elements of her home and… Continue reading Wing Chair Update
My client had what looked like two very different chairs. Obviously they had different fabric. But one had a skirt and one had a corded bottom. They also had different top pillows so they really looked like different chairs. But once I took measurements it became clear that these were inherently the same chair. … Continue reading Twin Chairs
A couple of years ago I purchased these fixer upper stools from the “Joyous Junque” yard sale at the Catholic Church in Moneta Virginia. I think I paid $20 a piece for them, my small part of the over $50,000 they raise and donate to various charities annually (click link above to read their incredible… Continue reading Lake Stools Makeovers
When I think of January, I think of hibernation. I grew up in northern Minnesota and it was always the hardest month to get through. It was brutally cold, dark and "closed up". Hibernation, a period of rest and sleep, isn't a bad idea considering we just went through an extremely busy holiday season. … Continue reading Outdoor Living: Getting Ready Now
Squirrels. They can be fun to watch with their jerky little movements and bushy tails, nibbling on acorns that have fallen from the trees. We almost even resolve to the fact that they will eat the bird food from our bird feeders, though not without a fight and attempt at so-called squirrel-proof feeders. But who… Continue reading A Squirrely Scenario
