We look for things we like. They don't have to have a pedigree but they have to catch our eye and be something we would use in our own home! We gravitate towards classic & interesting, well-made pieces. Most all of the upholstered pieces have been completely redone. This means new insides as well as outsides. And sometimes we like to shake things up and use an unexpected material/pattern on a classic piece. It keeps people guessing...
