African Wax Cloth Armchair

I just had this old armchair that my upholsterer found 'upcycled' in patchwork of African wax cloth cotton and am in love.   Restraining myself from keeping it rather than selling it as I love the mix of color and pattern contrasting with the chips and weathering on the white frame.

It's been cold.  Well as cold as it gets in LA.  So I am preoccupied with cozy warmth.

New Benches

I love how fabulous these refurbed benches look.  There are two of them and we covered them in a gorgeous old suzani.

One of the most popular items in our shop is a world map that is covered in gold foil so you can scratch off where you have been.  Spotted this great photo of the map in fabulous use here.
