We just finished this amazing piece! The vanity top is encased in mirror on all sides, including the three drawer fronts. The legs were first painted Santa Monica Blue by Benjamin Moore, and then silver leafed. It's difficult to see in the photos, but just a tiny bit of the blue peaks through on the edges and silver leaf seams.

Louis XVI Daybed
We just finished reupholstering a [very good!] reproduction of a Louis XVI daybed. We are estimating that this piece is from the 1950's or 1960's. We reupholstered it in the classic style, using horsehair and stitching as it was done in 18th century France. The technique has not changed in 300 years, and having been classically trained, our artisans know exactly what to do.
Our client was after a natural, bohemian vibe so we used tea-stained muslin and burlap, and kept the nails & seams exposed. Il est très joli!

Custom Upholstered California King bed
Just out of the workroom is this custom California King upholstered bed, box spring & base. It is upholstered in a beautiful grey velvet. This is a design we have made before, found here on our website.
The headboard features a recession at the base where the mattress fits. The box spring sits on a full wood base, with a recessed toe kick, in dark stained walnut.

Red Velvet Sofa & Ottomans - Custom Screening Room
The ottomans fit perfectly in front of each sofa and are comfortable enough to use as additional seating or to hold a tray of snacks, if necessary - or, just throw your feet up and relax (like they are intended!)!
