Gallery of Vintage Travel Posters
The bare and beige wall above our couch desperately needed some colour. After browsing uninspiring wall art in home decor stores and online, we had the idea of creating our own little gallery of travel posters.

Reupholstering my Friend’s Retro Chair
When my friend asked me if I could give her antique chair a little tender loving care, not only was I excited to revamp a piece of furniture (which I haven’t done in so long and miss doing terribly), I was just so extra thrilled that a friend asked me to do it for her.…

Country Chairs in an Urban Condo
I love receiving text messages from friends that say: “I found antique chairs for you”.
