Sipping a margarita during the height of summer in Newburyport, we discovered Gayle. The upholstery project that followed was a synergy of ideas and inspiration to breathe new life into her existing furnishings. Gayle immediately understood that I design Verde Cosi fabrics from my botanical drawings and paintings - she only needed to touch my pillows to appreciate the unique quality of the linens I use. As always with every project we have a goal to add joy and a feeling of natural light to our customers' interiors. We partnered with a local upholsterer who is willing to see an artist's vision and create the unexpected. Here is a look at the chairs, sofa, and hand made pillows. The fringed pillows are one of a kind pieces I designed and sewed especially for Gayle. We are currently scheduling upholstery work and fine art for 2018. Be inspired! Suzanne Ahrens
"Ruffled Winter"
A poem by Suzanne Luby Ahrens,
Water flows through the ruffled,
softening the mist
window remains cold, trust for a better day
essential life brings clear thrive
tray arranged with a decorative cup
air grows wilder, rough
check at a glance innocence task
greet the eyes beyond life's guise
beads embedded in the thread
shed wilt, gather met
