Services
Upholstery
Our upholstery service revitalizes chairs, benches, and ottomans using traditional techniques and modern materials. We assess structural integrity, replace worn padding, and apply durable fabrics to transform dated pieces into functional art. Clients can bring their own fabric or receive guidance on selecting optimal materials for longevity and style.
Custom Cushions
We craft bespoke cushions and pillows in any shape or size, tailored to your decor. Using high-quality foam and upholstery-grade fabric, our cushions ensure comfort and durability. Clients receive assistance in calculating yardage and selecting materials that balance aesthetics with practicality for indoor or outdoor use.
Refinishing
Refinishing services restore wooden furniture frames to their original luster. We repair damage, sand surfaces, and apply stains or paints to enhance natural grain. This process extends the life of heirloom pieces while preserving their historical character through eco-friendly finishing products.
Headboard Restoration
Headboard restoration combines structural repairs with aesthetic upgrades. We reupholster padding, reinforce frames, and apply custom fabric treatments to create statement pieces. Our process ensures headboards are both visually striking and structurally sound for long-term use.
Painted Furniture
Our painted furniture service transforms dated wood pieces with durable, modern finishes. Using commercial-grade paints and sealants, we apply smooth, long-lasting coats that resist wear. Clients can choose from various color palettes to match their interior design while maintaining the furniture's original craftsmanship.
