Saved from the landfill! This giant ottoman from Restoration Hardware came to the shop looking busted and we got her all cleaned up. Fabric was COM.

Custom cushion in front of some gorgeous built ins. Fabric is COM (Customer Own Material).

Had to account for the height as well as the length and width of the cushion - to ensure that the cabinet would open smoothly 🪡

We swapped out the tailored skirt for some fringe for a fun update :) Love how these turned out!

If you’ve been following along, I’m in the middle of a bathroom renovation project!
Received a quote for $2200 to retile my bathroom floor, and thought naw, I will do that myself. It was so much work lol. My body is still recovering, and $2200 seems pretty fair in hindsight…

But there’s something about doing it yourself- a power, a pleasure. I keep finding myself standing in the doorway and admiring my work. This was my first time laying tile, so it’s not perfect, but overall, I am so pleased with the results! Made a lot of progress and 🤞🏼 - hope to have a toilet back in my house this week! Stay tuned :)

Posting some stills of this project :)
Loved having another opportunity to work with this luxurious patterned velvet from , Linx, in the colorway ‘Dahlia.’

My client got engaged while I was working on these, and we had just enough fabric to make a little pillow for them 🫶🏼

A client came to me wanting to create the perfect little space in their 12-year-old’s room — a cozy reading nook that doubles as a sleepover spot for his two best friends. Pretty heartwarming little project, and honestly? I’m kind of jealous!

Got a nook that you’d like to make cozier? Send me an e-mail :)
