Four months into my bathroom renovation and I have one wall completed 😝
It’s been a lot (!!), but I’m proud that I’ve managed to do most of the work myself :)
(I hired a plumber to remove/ replace the tub, hired an electrician to remove and cap off the old heater).
Needed a little dopamine surge from fully completing one wall to be motivated to finish the rest.
>Swipe to see my gross bathroom that I started with! So much cleaner now, don’t you think?

Large patio cushion project completed last week :)
Sad that I didn’t spin the bolster right side up for the photo, but you can swipe to see that the motif is centered along the side 😂
Sunbrella fabric from United Fabrics. Nuance in the color-way ‘Cloud’ for the bulk of the project, and Scheme in ‘Harvest’ for the pillows.

Finished this vintage lounge chair a few months ago for Shannon LaBrie

I had some content removed recently so I’m not allowed to name the designer that designed this style of chair… but you guys know 😝

Olive green boucle fabric from Upholstery Fabric | Revolution.

Saved from the landfill! This giant ottoman from Restoration Hardware came to the shop looking busted and we got her all cleaned up. Fabric was COM.

Custom cushion in front of some gorgeous built ins. Fabric is COM (Customer Own Material).

Had to account for the height as well as the length and width of the cushion - to ensure that the cabinet would open smoothly 🪡

Vintage pair of mid century kidney bean chairs, dated 1954. Fully reupholstered with all new foam and padding in a lovely floral printed linen fabric, provided by the client.

We swapped out the tailored skirt for some fringe for a fun update :) Love how these turned out!

If you’ve been following along, I’m in the middle of a bathroom renovation project!
Received a quote for $2200 to retile my bathroom floor, and thought naw, I will do that myself. It was so much work lol. My body is still recovering, and $2200 seems pretty fair in hindsight…

But there’s something about doing it yourself- a power, a pleasure. I keep finding myself standing in the doorway and admiring my work. This was my first time laying tile, so it’s not perfect, but overall, I am so pleased with the results! Made a lot of progress and 🤞🏼 - hope to have a toilet back in my house this week! Stay tuned :)

Posting some stills of this project :)
Loved having another opportunity to work with this luxurious patterned velvet from , Linx, in the colorway ‘Dahlia.’

My client got engaged while I was working on these, and we had just enough fabric to make a little pillow for them 🫶🏼
