And in the blink of an eye, my Alderwood shop is just something to look back on. I’m proud that I pulled it off. I survived lockdowns and met some amazing clients, many who have become friends. It’s funny how things work out. If my lease hadn’t have been… instagr.am/p/Cm-Yf4ztwCk/

Twenty Valley that is! There’s good news and bad news, excitement and sadness. First, the bad news. I will be closing my Toronto studio in Alderwood at the end of the month. Its been a great place to grow my business, but its time to move on. And the goo… instagr.am/p/Ck8aeSNAyfZ/

So dreamy! I love working with @casabonatoronto Not only are they some of the kindest and most beautiful people, they always bring me the the most creative pieces to work on. I should have taken the before photo, covered in terrible cracking and peeling … instagr.am/p/Ci-LbqXg88w/

Can we please bring back the sunken conversation pits? This beautiful space by @wisemanandcromwell is everything! It was great working with them to create these beautiful spaces. Custom banquette cushions for the convo pit, and reupholstered mcm chairs f… instagr.am/p/Ci8f734J430/

This was a super fun project with a lot of great people behind it. Thanks to Autumn for bringing me on board. She was one of my first clients when I got started. I had no idea about Instagram, or how to show up (not sure that had changed much!), but Autu… instagr.am/p/CixS578gKEt/

By far, one of the hardest chairs I have ever reupholstered. The #up5_6 by #gaetanopesce has a long and interesting history, launched in 1969. Originally upholstered in a stretchy jersey, we opted for a more durable faux wool texture this time around. @j… instagr.am/p/CiwJmYTN9xs/

Hi! I’ve been eyeing a lot of new faces popping up on here, so I thought I’d take a moment to catch you up. I’m Kara, the owner/maker/doer of everything for this little one woman company I started over 6 years ago. From starting part time from my home, t… instagr.am/p/CekI2LytYeS/

3 Years!!!! Where I started ➡️ where I’m at. Thanks for all the support and patience, especially through this last 2 years when many small businesses didn’t make it. I’m so thankful for you and the pile of orders/to do lists on my desk that keep me doing… instagr.am/p/Cbz1bHNgPYp/

@adidas I see you. I hear you. Hard to know where to start. But I can’t get past that 1 in 8 of these women will have breast cancer and not 1 in your 64 reflects that. Hoping you consulted more than 8 women on this. #InclusionMiss #DoYourHomework

You are often asking if it’s for sale, well…..tonight it is! Small batch release, only one of each, made from recycled textiles from @vikingrecycling Large sphere pillows are 44” circumference, approx 11” tall Small pillows are 34” circumference,… instagr.am/p/CY7rfwltO7p/

Déjà vu? Well, sort of! Same base couch as the cozy boucle, but this one was done with a more subtly textured fabric. Fabric @ennisfabrics #remadefurnituretoronto #customupholstery #customreupholstery #shoplocal #custommade #makerlife #upholstery #reup… instagr.am/p/CYsFG1xuwOY/

Sometimes all you need is a tiny change. Some of the chairs had slightly damaged cane, so I made removable seats so that’s the chairs could be used functionally when needed, and then removed for a classic look when not. #remadefurnituretoronto #custom… instagr.am/p/CYsDYhjtukB/

They made it home just in time for Christmas! Not only do the chairs perfectly coordinate with the tree, but matching the scenic views through those windows of Lake Ontario during the day are a breathtaking combo too! fabric @barrowindustries #remadefu… instagr.am/p/CYr_89DlzKC/

The second in a set of three. Up next this spring is the matching couch! I’ve looked high and low to find info on these chairs that have been in my client’s family as long as she can remember, but haven’t had any luck. Anyone out there know who designed … instagr.am/p/CYr_87Cv2Qj/
