Custom Banco

For three centuries, from the Spanish Colonial period to the present day, benches have provided handsome, practical seating in countless homes and churches. 

Early New Mexican homes were sparsely furnished with only a few movable pieces supplementing adobe built-ins. Most likely, bancos were placed against the walls, leaving the center of the room empty.

This Blue Velvet gives the room a "pop" of color.

Customize your ride!

What's better than a brand new vehicle?

Having it customized, of course!

While the black interior is very classy......

Why not make it unique?

 Love the look of this Crocodile Leather!

Don't forget those door panels!

Crocodile inserts with a coordinating brown leather surround.

Beautiful choice!

Slipper Chair

Classic Design.....New Age Intentions!

A slipper chair is simply an armless upholstered chair with 

short legs so that it will sit closer to the ground. 

Originally when it first made its appearance in the early 18th century, 

this style chair was used in ladies' bedrooms as seating, and to help when getting dressed.

 By contrast, in today's homes, slipper chairs are found in any room including living rooms!

Slipper chairs are generally upholstered, and today when we speak of them we tend to refer to the type that features a wide, tight rectangle/square for seating, and another tight rectangle/square for the back, much like the one pictured here.

This is a past project that should not go un-noticed.

Custom Ottoman

Can't find the perfect ottoman to fit your space?

We can custom build to your needs!

This is a LARGE custom ottoman.....36" x 45" x 20"

This customer couldn't find a piece that would tie all her exisiting furniture together....

So we built it for her! 

 The perfect size to fit her space and a combination of fabrics, nailheads and wooden feet to bring the entire room together.

Beautiful Combination!

This was the chair in the Haberdashery

"Sweet Dave's chair" 

More working on location.....

In the movies, sometimes...you need multiples of the same!

This was the case for this stagecoach!

They had to be identical.....

Here we tufted teh ceiling, upholstered the seats, walls and doors!

Added shades for the outdoor scenes..... 

Even though, you may not get a good look at the seating inside these coaches, the seats still needed to look and feel authentic! 

All the details......

Putting it all together....

See more tomorrow!...

Working on location...

We had such a great time working behind the scenes of The Hateful 8!
(November/December 2014)

We all had a great time while working on very tight deadlines!

We helped magic happen in the Chop Shop!

Painting of the coach was happening simutaneously....A little messy and close quarters! 

Some of the stagecoaches were in need of TLC!

This is one of the coaches....

A huge transformation took place with this one.....

The ceiling was transformed into a tapestry.....

The inside of the doors now have worn and distressed leather..... 

and nailheads to accent.

Inside walls to match the inside doors.... 

Simple seating.... 

Add shades......

And WOW!

This one is ready to go!

(check back tomorrow to see more!)

This customer decided on a firm straight line style.

They accented the beautiful wood frame with a gorgeous Burgundy Leather from Austria.

Although this piece may look very proper; its is very comfortable! 

The ottoman has a slight slant for the perfect reclined position.
