It's true, she is. And to prove it - look at my couch she just saved from the depths of sadness. It took me forever to find a fabric I felt worked with the style of the sofa, wouldn't go out of style too soon, and was durable for all animals. There is one more chair to be saved, but I'm a little nervous on picking the final fabric since it was a chair that my Grandpa used to sit in. I want him to approve, but I want it to be fun as well. We'll see where we get with it.
Below is Sarah's final business card - and what a fun project it's been to work on! She's a delight and super talented with a needle and hammer. Last month I posted some of the sketches I'd done in coming up with this final. In filling out her identity questionnaire, Sarah had described her style as "Fresh, imaginative but functional. Polished Eclecticism, Friendly and Curious". She also loved the image of a phoenix, rising up out of the ashes and being reborn - much like her craft of saving furniture. I knew that I didn't want her phoenix to be too masculine and searched for something a little more folksy. After meeting her and hearing what colors she was attracted to, I opted to go away from her dark green and gold pallate, into something more youthful and fun - but still strong. Her clientele is almost all women so ruby and chocolate was a good choice. Pair it with a french gray and viola! Sophisticated yet playful.
If you are in Idaho - look for Sarah's work and let her work her magic on your heirlooms. You won't be disappointed.
