Just wanted to pop on and post an update…I‘m currently still off work. It took almost 8-weeks to get my Mom moved into Assisted Living and prepare her condo to be put on the market. I am not sure when I will be back up and running. I need to go back to Florida in a week to finish up some things.
I also need to address some health issues that I have been neglecting.

Due to my absence, I am no longer taking anymore work this year. I will be getting caught up and taking care of my current customers. Due to the financial climate and fluctuations in materials, I will not be doing any hard estimates that will carry over to next year.

Thank you so much for all the support and understanding. I will keep everyone updated as things change.

I don’t normally make a personal post on my business page but I need to find this sweet boy a new home.
Those of you that know me, know I have lost many animals in the last year, so I thought I would adopt a couple. I adopted an older cat that is 14 and a younger one that is about a year. The older one is declawed, and I didn’t find out until I got her home. The younger one, that we named Sammy, is a beautiful Siamese mix with blue eyes. Sammy has been neutered, gotten shots and has tested negative for Feline aids and leukemia. Sadly, we can not keep him. He is stalking and violently attacking the older cat and our other cat. With people, he is super sweet, cuddly, affectionate and playful. He needs to be in an only cat home.

Those of you who know me, know that I LOVE my animals to a fault and I wouldn’t be rehoming Sammy if it wasn’t necessary. I DON’T want to return him to the shelter. He was very stressed there. He needs to find a good loving home. He is a very special boy. Please share or reach out if you want more information. Thank you❣️😻

This customer had purchased these dining room chairs second hand. She wanted to use them in her dining room with her Duncan Phyfe dining table. The chairs had paint on them and the wood finish was in bad shape. She had the wood stripped and refinished and then brought them to me to do new seats. We helped her with fabric selection and we rebuilt the seats. The fabric used was D1201 Beach by Charlotte Fabric. The photos don’t do the transformation justice but they really were brought back to life!

My customer just finished building a new home and had a mudroom/lounge room. We were tasked with making new cushions for the bench seats. She showed me pictures of the new space and the furniture she was using. She said she wanted a plaid fabric for the cushions. I provided her with many samples and made a couple of recommendations. She chose D3541 Barnwood from Charlotte Fabrics. I recommended using a cording color that matched the leather in her chairs. So we went with V778 Saddle also from Charlotte Fabrics. I have used this plaid fabric before and I love working with it. The room looks amazing!

Currently out of town, moving my mom into assisted living. The following projects are a bit late in posting.

This customer had 2 projects that we completed for her. First were 8 white bar stools. They had an older vinyl on them that was starting to peel. We ordered a heavy grade vinyl to recover them in. They get a ton of use and are ready for many more use.

Second project was a master bedroom headboard. It was originally in a black alligator, print leather. The decorative animal print was peeling and making a mess. We replaced the fabric with a cream animal print chenille. Instead of decorative nail heads we added a double welt cord. The fabric used was D3768 Cream by Charlotte Fabrics. This transformation really brights up the bedroom.

This customer just had her first grandbaby and wanted to renew this older Bassett, rocking chair. She is proudly going to be rocking the new addition in it. I just love this fabric! Pictures don’t do it justice. This fabric was originally for a personal project. Then I moved and sold the sofa. My customers get to benefit from its beauty now! I cleaned the wood and freshened it with beeswax. Made a few minor repairs, added all new padding and fabric. This heirloom will continue to bring joy for more generations.

So I get asked a lot to restuff/refluff cushions for chairs & sofas. Once I send an estimate, I usually get the comment, “why is this so expensive, it’s just a cushion?” Yes it is a cushion. But to prevent the padding from collecting at the bottom of the cushion, you need to put a baffle in the top ⅓ of the cushion. This will keep the padding at the top, so it doesn’t migrate to the bottom. In order to make sure the new padding fits the existing cover, I make a template. Then cut everything out of muslin, sew it together, restuff it and finally hand stitch the last opening closed. Here are some picture of today’s cushion!

This recliner was originally done in leather. Over time oils from your skin will affect its performance. We redid this one in a durable fabric! Came out brand new! Should have plenty more years to be enjoyed! We used Charlotte Fabric Y1125 Brick

I have been dreading having to make this post. After February I will have to close down my shop for a couple months. I have a parent that needs me to help transition her into assisted living. I also have to have surgery on my elbow, which requires at least a month for rehab. I hope this down time won’t be to long and I can get back to helping your furniture have a new life!

I feel like it was just yesterday that I was asking for page likes/folowers. Now we are 1 shy of 250! I truly appreciate all of you for supporting my small business. We are busier than ever. So grateful💕🙏🏻👏🏻
