One of the reasons I love what I do is the devotion to finding well constructed heirloom-quality upholstered pieces and bringing them back to life - for generations to come.

A key to "green decorating" and "green design" efforts are devoted to using sustainable design principles defined by Wikipedia as follows:
Low-impact materials: choose non-toxic, sustainably produced or recycled materials which require little energy to process
Energy efficiency: use manufacturing processes and produce products which require less energy
Quality and durability: longer-lasting and better-functioning products will have to be replaced less frequently, reducing the impacts of producing replacements
Design for reuse and recycling: "Products, processes, and systems should be designed for performance in a commercial 'afterlife'.
I feel triumphant every time I provide a restored piece (of superior quality furniture) to clients who are participating in this effort by buying these pieces in lieu of newly manufactured goods - THANK YOU!
Displayed on this page are some of the pieces that are well over 50 years old and will continue on NOW for many more!
