A HIGH RISE RE-DO

Here in Coronado we have high rise buildings just to the south of the Hotel Del, called the Shores.


Part of my job was to make new covers for the sofa throw pillows.  


I came very close to making the pillows and the new seat cushions with the wrong side of the fabric.  Luckily, I was out walking and ran into the designer on this job and asked, in passing, if the blue side of the fabric was the right side.  She said, no, the black side.  That could have been a disaster had I not asked! The funny thing is either side would have worked.


The 'new' bar stools.


This job was more of an upholstery job, and even though I am NOT an upholsterer, they turned out really well.


The 4 chairs around the glass-top table.

The renovation is still in progress, but the new pillows and cushions have gone along way to make the condo look fresher and more up-to-date.  Of course, the view of the Pacific Ocean never gets old!
