Re-Upholstering Chairs


I'm working on re-upholstering my dining chairs. They're going from blah micro suede to this gorgeous vintage pattern that works well with my damask, without being damask overkill.

...pursuit of happiness


...pursuit of happiness is one-of-a-kind, original works of art by Letha Colleen. Each piece of art is made using paper, metals and found items of all kinds. All the lovely pieces of paper are hand cut and then assembled (no digital work, she likes to "touch it all") Each piece is made using elements rescued or revived, found when out trolling around flea markets, yards sales and paper shops. These elements are then layed out in "heaps" at her studio, waiting, until just the right moment when everything comes together.
