Vintage pair of mid century kidney bean chairs, dated 1954. Fully reupholstered with all new foam and padding in a lovely floral printed linen fabric, provided by the client.

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 :)

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 :)
