Almost 18 years ago in my formal dining room in Flower Mound, TX, I opened my first upholstery book and painfully took apart and then re-constructed my favorite chair left to me by my Grandmother. And then 3 years later we moved to Rockford, MI and I repeated that process (in my bedroom this time) with 2 cute chairs I picked up off of Craig's list. At that time, I swore I would never do THAT again! With a background in Engineering, the process was intuitive to me but not physically easy. But, my love for fabrics and furniture was destined to go on and in 2007 I started creating my statement pieces and selling them in local shops. Having gathered a nice customer base, I opened my dream studio to the public in August 2009 with the business name, Something To Talk About, Home Interiors. As my kids were still quite young, I found the rigors of retail hours were draining me of the enjoyment of creating. So, almost 3 years later I decided to downsize back to my home studio where flexibility and balance were much more attainable. Since then, I have been able to have greater focus on each clients' project and hone my upholstery skills.
It is no secret to my friends, family and clients that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE fabric and furniture. I have been working with fabric and furniture for over 15 years now and I still get excited (a little too much sometimes) when I consider mixing "this" with "that" to see the awesomeness it will create. Throw in a little splash of decorative nails and I get downright giddy!
