Posted pics of a custom sectional and the last of 3
custom
beds for a client in Aspen Colorado.
The sectional shows various stages of the job, but I
never
took a final picture of the final piece with back
cushions
and kidney pillows
It was all coil spring construction with spring down
seat.
The frame is 5/4 poplar doweled and screwed (yes Leon, I
know I could have used a domino)g
cushion and all down(50/50) back pillows
The King-size bed is upholstered in a gray wool and is
very
contemporary as is the sectional.
They will be picking up the bed on Tuesday here in Dallas
to
install in Aspen at the end of the month
Thanks for looking


Very well done. A ton of work, not obvious to the
untrained eye,
skillfully executed to the point of making it look simple
and easy,
but elegant. Kudos!


Thanks Karl, as you and Leon know all to well, the customers
always think you should be able to do it cheaper than the
factories.
When the fact is quite the opposite. As far as simple and
easy, quality never is. There is so much more that goes into
furniture than people really understand.
I can't tell you how many times a client/designer has said,
" Can't you just pad it out?" I wish it were that easy.
Thanks again for the kudos
