Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you’re all staying warm. For those of you with kids in the KC area, I hope they’re back at school today after that extra week of winter break. Goodbye, extended holiday!
This week, I’m at the accessories market in Atlanta, which is super exciting! Can you believe we’re already shopping for Christmas? It really never ends, does it?
I have some fantastic news for you: we’ve started our 20% off upholstery sale a few days early! So, come on in, shop to your heart’s content, or make an appointment with one of our talented designers. Whether you need something new and aren’t sure where to start, or you know exactly what you want, we’re here to help.
In the spirit of the sale, let’s explore some of our designers’ favorite upholstered furniture frames and the reasons they adore them.
Anne’s Favorites
Anne can’t get enough of the Laurie sofa. “The Laurie sofa just hit the floor, and it’s upholstered in a Sunbrella small brown check. Brown is SO back!” she said. What’s unique about this look is that we’re mixing it with pink for a fresh, new vibe.


Anne also loves the June chair, which pairs perfectly with the Laurie sofa. It features a wood and rush frame with soft cushions covered in a fresh floral pattern in creams, browns, and pinks. “It’s gorgeous from every angle, especially the back!” she noted. Anne enjoys blending checks with florals and stripes for a dynamic look. Learn more about Anne and make an appointment here.


Carlie’s Picks
Carlie is all about versatility, and the Katie dining bench is a perfect example. “The Katie dining bench is so versatile,” she said. “It can be customized with or without casters, making the fabric possibilities endless.” This piece is named after our own Katie, who helped bring the design together at market.


Another favorite of Carlie’s is the Westport sofa or sectional. “This is the most comfortable tight-back sofa I have ever sat on,” she shared. Carlie even owns one herself! Her favorite thing about it is that her dog, Gracee, can’t squish down any back cushions because there aren’t any. “It always looks perfect!” she added.

Taylor’s Top Choices
Taylor has some fantastic recommendations for those who appreciate a blend of traditional and modern styles. “The Warwick sofa is perfect for clients who love a traditional look but want an update,” she explained. It has a higher back for full support and features two different nail head details that add great character.


Taylor also loves the Calais chair. “This charming chair is highly customizable and surprisingly comfortable,” she said. It’s ideal for a cozy sitting area, near a fireplace, or even at a desk. Learn more about Taylor and make an appointment here.


Dianne’s Favorites
Dianne is crazy about wingback chairs. “They add an extra accent to any space and are perfect for flanking fireplaces or pairing with sofas,” she said. Dianne loves the new traditional style of wingbacks and adores the soft lines of this specific wingback from our River Garden collection. “The wood around the bottom grounds the piece and adds richness,” she noted. Dual fabrics on wingbacks are a great way to incorporate a pattern without being overwhelming. Plus, if you’re worried about fabric wear, you can always put your favorite fabric on the back and a more suitable fabric on the seat! Learn more about Dianne and make an appointment here.
