Happy New Year

Hello and Happy New years to everyone. What and exiting and growing year it was for me and my company. I tend to forget so many details unless I really stop, sit down and write out a list and things that happened in 2009. So I thought I would share some of the exiting highlights.

The year started off with a bang !

Febuary Vancouver Sun did an article on my company in the business section.

Fabulous Furnishings exhibited in the Vancouver Home and Garden trade show where I displayed my first designed and custom built piece of furniture.

In April we were featured in in Vancouver Magazine, next to the likes of Elton John and Dianna Krall!

Expanded the shop working space, taking over the down stairs in the building. What an improvement, along with many other shop upgrades and machinery.

Purchased a brand new Cargo Van.

Started to paint a mural on the face of the building.

Reupholstering for the film industry such as:

Alice, Hot tub time machine, Santa Paws, Santa Buddies, Tooth Ferry, Tron, Smallville, 3 Barbie commercials, Elise Estrada music Video poison, Sucker Punch, Always a bridesmaid, Baker Twins, Halle Berry set trailer, Ben Stiller's set trailer, Custom made furniture for Dianna Krall and Elvis Costello.

Along with all the other referral work that kept us busy!

We are working on expanding our expertise and also striving to improve our service and quality, which is something I have always and will always work towards. That is very important to our entire staff.

So there we are. I hope the growth continues in 2010 and beyond. All the best to all of you.

green with envy!!

Green with Envy! How I love this color I simply cant get enough.

My Sofa

I wanted to share the sofa I designed and built for myself. I love it! About 6 months ago I finally got around to making myself a custom built piece of furniture. It was a great experience for me, seeing as I over the last few years have been doing this for other people. Talk about testing the product. We do everyday. There was so much to think about. From foam densities, to sizes, pitch, depth, fabric to color,and style.

It gave me a chance to see how exiting it is to completely create exactly what you want with no compromises.

Love it. One wide arm for the laptop to rest on, Firm seat, soft back, my favorite colors, soft fabric mixed with the durability and look of leather. The toss cushions are feather with a new Robert Allen fabric. I also had a simple square ottoman built and upholstered in a fun new Maxwell leafy print. The sofa was built with 100% natural latex foam, and all natural fibers and materials.

And the frame well but it this way if there was an earthquake the first place I would hide is under this sofa!

I have never wanted to be a couch potato until now!

The start of something interactive

Well I want to start an experiment. I am terible with a computer and as my sister just pointed out I better learn to use all my fingers on the key board!

Any ways I am starting a blog today.

I find it interesting to get others perspectives and thoughts, and to update my wonderful client and friends on all the fun and exiting projects.

Wish me luck!
