An afternoon of shopping on Saturday,with Austin hipster Carmen Hanney, garners a wonderful collection of design resources! One of first stops was Spruce, a small upholstery shop with a big idea! They specialize in refurbishing what some would describe as hopeless pieces of junk into incredible works of art. Local girls applying a green concept that Rocks! And speaking of green ... while at Spruce a conversation with Amanda revealed another great fabric resource, Mod Green Pod, as the name implies, a green fabric resource with youthful prints perfect for todays' contemporary designs!

Dirty and Dated

Nice and Neutral

I have recently discovered that upholstery work is fun and a bit of a break from the drapery end of my business. The personal satisfaction is rewarding and it's always fun to learn a new skill. Here are a few photos of my latest upholstery adventure. I would have loved to take the paint brush to these babies but they weren't mine and I doubt that the client would have appreciated the surprise! My next project will be on the "perfect chair" that I hope to find at Round Top Antique Fair!  I have my eye on a MGP print for my perfect little chair!

Have a great week and Thanks for checking in!
