You thought it might be fun to reupholster your chaise.   Taking the old fabric off wasn’t so bad.  But when you began cutting fabric you realized this job was a bit more than you could handle.  What do you do?  Not to worry.  Do what this client did.  Keep all old fabric pieces, if you can, and take everything you have to you’re upholsterer.  If you’re in the greater Phoenix area, give us a call.  We’d love to help.

Nonnie and me IMG_3144_Fotor

For the last 12 months i cared for my wonderful mother-in-Law.  We hung out together, went to dinner together, enjoyed each others company until her disease ended her life on June 30, 2015.  My business took 2nd place, but I wouldn’t change a thing.  I feel so privileged and fortunate to have been the one to care for her every need in the last days for her life.

So, now it’s back to working full time in my drapery and upholstery workroom.  Five chairs awaiting to be reupholstered, pillows and shower curtains waiting to be made.  Whew, I’ve got my work cut out for me.  Stay tuned.  I will be posting pictures.
