We are also available to design and create wall coverings, draperies, slipcovers, custom pillows, and unusual room treatments.    

Basic Design Standards

Within our custom designed section we offer all the styles photographed as you see them, or they can be modified to suit your needs.  Some of the fabrics shown may or may not be available but we can assist you with a new selection.  Attention is paid to matching fabric patterns, left, and to the placement on the pieces.  The standards that we adhere to in building our designs are as follows:

bulletFrames are made from 5/quarter or thicker clear vertical hard maple, double-doweled, corner-blocked, glued and screwed.
bulletSeats and backs are either coil springs, sinuous springs, or webbed.  (Style and function determine which of these apply.)
bulletCushions may be:
bulletSpring & Ultracell Foam
bulletSpring & Latex
bulletSpring, Hair & Cotton
bulletUltracell Foam
bulletPure Down or Pocket-down
bulletPincore Latex
bulletLatex & Woolen Batting
bulletCotton muslin interior casings by request.
bulletFabrics must be good quality upholstery fabric or lighter weight fabric which can be structurally enhanced by fusible stocking backed scrim. 

Information Request Form

The following form is intended to help us assist you.  We do not store or sell the information, EVER.  If you have a known item(s) that you are interested in having designed and or built, as much information as possible should be given in order that we can answer your inquiry.  If you do not know how to describe what you want, leave items blank and give us your phone number and we will contact you.  If you have monetary limitations, it is best to tell us the approximate figure that you have in mind, so that we can tell you if we can satisfy your needs within your design constraints.
