http://upholsteredfurniture.blogspot.com/2009/04/eco-salvage.html
Friday, May 1, 2009. There's an excellent article in this month's Design New England. Magazine by Jill Connors on the growing trend she's calling "Eco Salvage".

But, there are now companies that specialize in the field of "Deconstruction" where materials are carefully removed from a building slated for renovation or demolition. Companies such as ReStore. Here's a great example of a salvage project that we just completed:. Our cl...

Friday, August 3, 2007. Anatomy of a Custom Sofa. Hot off the workroom floor is this lovely custom built sofa. This piece was made to the exacting specifications of a successful Massachusetts designer and her equally exacting client. This piece was designed to be used as a banquette for the table in the clients' newly renovated kitchen. Set within a niche and a curved shelf, the sofa was templated on site so that it would fit perfectly within the space. The springs are then hand tied together . Located n...

The Upholstery Blog: Heller on the Big Screen!
http://upholsteredfurniture.blogspot.com/2009/01/heller-on-big-screen.html
Thursday, January 8, 2009. Heller on the Big Screen! Last year, we blogged about the move "The Women" that was then filming here in Boston. The set decorators had ordered a custom headboard for the movie from Heller Furniture. This remake of the 1939 classic stars Eva Mendes and Meg Ryan reprising the Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer roles, respectively. It's been a long year waiting to see how this satin, fullsize, headboard would be used. And here it is! Complete with Meg Ryan, a little girl, and a dog!

The Upholstery Blog: Matchy Matchy
http://upholsteredfurniture.blogspot.com/2009/02/matchy-match.html
Wednesday, February 11, 2009. Sometimes, matchy-matchy is a good thing. Case in point: The Calvin Tub Chair (no longer listed in their catalogue) at Pottery Barn. I was wandering through the mall this weekend with a friend and we passed by Pottery Barn and this chair prominently displayed in the window. Nice looking chair with a very nice looking print on the cushions - but the mismatched pattern was fairly screaming out at me! And, this isn't the only example of this in the PB catalogue:. Here is anothe...
