i love the idea of local furniture artisans, i - wish i could be there - i always planned when i finally get my “real place” i’ll get my tables custom by local carpenters/ metalworkers, but…

is it just me, or do some of those chairs look unfinished?

I love these photos and the spirit of the furniture. And I REALLY wish someone would do this in Seattle.

I can’t help but think that some of those upholstered chairs would NOT get rave reviews in comments if they were a before and after. Just sayin’…

Gosh I wish I lived in Brookln instead of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Loved the piece in the NY Times, btw- your picks were my favorites, and you looked fabulous. Where did you get that gorgeous scarf?!
