Thought I would share a custom furniture piece we just had made for a client recently.
The client wanted a piece that would seat a couple of people.  Instead of purchasing something new, we decided to use an extra piece the client had leftover from their old sectional.  It had just been sitting in storage so [...]

Sharing experiences with one’s friends makes life fuller and richer, whether sipping the perfect wine, sampling an incredible recipe, sinking into a comfortable sofa or watching American Idol.
