Thanksgiving Design
I got to take photos of my latest upholstery job in the newly remodeled dining room. The inside backs on the dining chairs are upholstered in pearlescent carbon colored Garrett leather with nickle finish corative nails.
The window treatments were done by Laura Nelson, of Sew Nice Custom Window Treatments and More,
using the same leather at the top and studded with rhinstones.

Now it's a beauty in leather!
And THIS is what it looked like within seconds of delivery :)

Nice day, isn't it? Except I have a headache...
There are 2 big bulldozers next door. This one is busting through the pavement "BAM" "BAM", then scooping it up and tossing it in the dump truck. Each "BAM" makes everything in my shop quake and the tremor goes up my feet to my hurting head....
Hope they get it all done today.

It wasn't just upholsterers...Sheryl McAfee of "A Stitch in Time Design" in Indianapolis explores ways to expand her custom window treatment business by offering light upholstery. In this class we built and upholstered a simple slipseat - the kind you would find in a dining chair or side chair. Those corners are trickier than they look :) We then attached them to a hand built footstool frame to take home and use.

Little Girls Powder Room
It all started with a remodeled bathroom and some Amy Butler towels from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Jen wanted her 2 little girls to have stools for their new vanity tables.
She bought a couple of stools just the right size on Amazon, and some co-ordinating fabric and had them shipped to me...
The slipcovers are lined and washable. They tie on under the skirt to stay put.
Jen wanted the look of the patchwork slipcovered chair at the top of this blog.
Here is one of the vanity stools in the bathroom - see the matching towels and washcloth? Cute!
