Spring is here! A customer is having us upholster their boat cushions in some seasonal appropriate colors.
The backs and seats of this sofa are upholstered with a quilted fabric.
We’re doing a whole lot of pillows these days. Just finished a bunch of them! In fact we always have pillows to do; we sew them up between larger upholstery projects. Pillows are a quick affordable way to accessorize and make a big difference in the home. A little furniture bling !
We upholstered these dining room chairs with a graphite colored fabric. Very durable and cat-proof.
Twin chairs with upholstered legs.
Here are the vintage chairs we reupholstered for Spin!
We first met Morgan Gary, proprietor of Spin Laundry Lounge, at the tail-end of 2013 when we were commissioned to reupholster her collection of vintage chairs for her soon-to-open Spin Laundry Lounge. At that time, we had no idea that 9 months later, we would be moving from our NW Thurman St. address and be her neighboring business. While there are many reasons that we love our new location on N. Mississippi Ave, Spin Laundry Lounge is definitely one of them. If you haven’t seen this place, you need to! It is a truly unique venue.
In a nutshell, Spin Laundry Lounge is a sustainably-focused, state-of-the-art laundromat, that also offers beer, wine, coffee, and local eats in a comfy adjoining café. It is now Acanthus’ go-to place when we need to pre-wash/pre-shrink fabrics for our workroom projects, or grab a cup of joe to go!
