✨ When Custom is Just Better ✨

Ever feel frustrated when shopping for curtains? 😩 You know the struggle—either they’re too thin, too thick, ugly, or just don’t check all the boxes. I get it!

That’s why I decided to make my own custom curtains for the front window in our apartment.

With this old home, cold air can sneak in, so I chose felted wool for the back to keep the chill out. For the front, I went with a beautiful Ikat cotton fabric in blue, and of course, I added pink tassels because… why not? It’s all about having fun and creating something that truly fits your space.

Custom work means I get exactly what I want, in the fabric and style that speaks to me. Plus, I love knowing my curtains are doing double duty—keeping me warm and adding a little joy to my window. 🏡

Do you ever get frustrated trying to find the “perfect” curtains? Tell me in the comments! 👇

✨ EXTRA FABRIC, EXTRA LOVE ✨

When there’s leftover fabric from a project, we always ask—why not turn it into custom pillows? 😍 These beauties were made from the same fabric as our client’s dining chairs. Since the fabric was already paid for, it’s the perfect way to use every inch and add even more style to their space! 🛋️💫

Why let beautiful fabric go to waste when you can create gorgeous, custom cushions to match? This is how we take your project to the next level!

✨ FABRIC DROOL ALERT ✨

I’m OBSESSED with these fabric choices for my client’s project! 🤩 Check out this golden honeycomb “Patio” fabric—perfect for her dining chairs, and then there’s the sky blue velvet that will grace the backing of her curtains.

But hold up… the true showstopper is the Heritage line from Pindler, the stunning Ophelia in Lake for the front of the curtains. I am swinging for the fences over here, completely in love with this rich, elegant combo.

All of these gorgeous fabrics are from @pindlercorp and I can’t WAIT to bring this vision to life! 🙌✨

🪑✨ Ever felt like you’re sinking into your dining chair, with that uncomfortable feeling of wood digging into the back of your legs? 😩 That’s a telltale sign your chair needs some love!

🎥 Today, we’re diving into the history of this Queen Anne style sofa as we take it apart for restoration. One of the most fascinating aspects of vintage upholstery is the use of horsehair as a filling material!

🐴 Commonly used in furniture from the 19th century to mid-20th century, horsehair was prized for its durability and springiness, making it ideal for lasting comfort. Now, it’s time to give this piece new life while honoring its past! ✂️✨
