can i steal your furniture please? pretty please? you’ve inspired me to upholster every square inch of my house. ever since i saw your brownstone in person i’ve been tracking down great old pieces to upholster. it’s such an addiction, but looks so fabulous when it’s done!

This is gorgeous, Lena. I wish I had the guts to redo all my furniture like this.

hi lena! what a treat to have 2 kicka** bloggers at the same time. LOVE your chairs and am wondering if you have an upholsterer to recommend? (unless of course, these chairs are your very own handiwork?)
thanks!

hi MLB!
no, not my handiwork! i wish i could say it was… i can recommend Asmal Interiors Upholstery (718-602-7847) in NYC. that’s who we used.

i feel like urging my fellow city college sf upholstery classmates to visit this page, inspiring (and thanks to design*sponge–> repot depot, i’m most excited about the class)!
