At no great speed this one is coming together. It’s required a huge degree of patience and for some reason I’ve questioned whether it’s gonna work and look good on the daily. That hasn’t happened before on a piece of furniture. I think it’s because I’m combining some unusual kindred textiles with a fair amount of varying mending thrown in out of both need and visual balance. 😐 Anyways moments of hand stitching on this project give me pause and remind me how much I love doing the work. Reusing vintage sometimes destroyed textiles, reusing and strengthening frames that people(smaller people) were sitting on well over a hundred years ago, it does wonders for the imagination! Add rain and I’m off into the 18th and 19th centuries with my candles and imaginings!! #shoplife #rainydaysandhandwork #homesanctuary #corduroyshop #houseandgarden #shopwork #finditstyleit #2017corduroyshopshoplife 
It’s taking a lot of time to get this patched panel ready for upholstery. We’ll be changing out the thread to coordinate with the stripe color on top. We go the extra mile to make these ‘less than’ textiles into rock stars! Just wait til you see this Vic sofa when complete!! So exciting!! . . . . . #finerecycledtextiles . . . . . . #worththewait #worththeupcycle #handwoven #victoriansofa #lovemyjob #finditstyleit #womeninbusiness #simplystyleyourspace #homesanctuary #2017corduroyshopshoplife 
It feels so good to be back in the studio making! I am feeling color and pop and strength as we emerge from a strange year and find our way to our new selves!! #homesanctuary #letsbebetterhumans #catskillNY #theresnoplacelikehomedecor #60s #sixtiesprints #2017corduroyshopshoplife #pattern #pillowtalk
