Changing the theme of the upholstered couch

Nick May 23, 2019

Every one of us typically adored spending time at our pal Remy’s house while in the summer, well at least I did. My other friends really dreaded it because they had to make sure not be totally wild or track in mud. You see, our buddy Remy didn’t have kids of her own & she kept her lake house really neat and tidy. She also invested in high quality furnishings & didn’t want them wrecked by the dirt or people moving about. Each piece in her whole house was carefully selected so that the entire lake house was just neat to look at. She did the whole house in a fifth avenue theme. The chairs, couches and tables all reflected that. Remy said that she didn’t waste her money, instead she invested more for finer furnishings. I loved sitting in her den, and on her overstuffed couch, & reading the latest novel of choice for hours. She told me once that it was over 20 years old & that she had paid to have it reupholstered to suit her fifth avenue theme. She said that when you invest in a piece of furniture you should typically make sure it is made by a craftsman that knows the value of his work. Custom furniture designers take good pride in making a piece that can be loved for generations, and I have typically kept this in mind when it comes to our own house as well. When Remy passed away I was surprised to hear that her favorite couch was left to me. She knew I would take care of it & she also left me some money so I could change the theme of it if I wanted.
