2014 // A Retrospective

2014 was an amazing year for us! Besides selling a whole bunch of stuff we also bought a house, took a trip to Scandinavia, and got another corgi puppy!  Looking back at the year this picture stuck out to me.  Its a wonderful mix of all of the sorts of thing we hunt for everyday.


There are 3 themes that stuck out to me in 2014 rocking chairs, gondola sofas, and Pendleton wool upholstery.  Here is a look at some of my favorite rocking chairs.

Before & After: Soren Georg Jensen rocking chair.  I drove further to pick up this chair than any other piece I bought in 2014.


Before & After: Milo Baughman style lounge chair and ottoman


 Before & After: Adrian Pearsall rocking chaise.  This is one of three that I found this year.

Danish teak rocking chair by Hans Wegner for Tarm Stole

Gondola Sofas:  Gondola sofas have a uniquely modern flare that stands out in any mid century living room.  It is a joy to find them and bring them back to life.

Before & After: This gondola sofa was custom made and extremely rare.  It sold right away.


 Before & After: The final gondola of the year was this 111'' monster of a sofa.

Pendleton Wool:  Pendleton wool is milled local right here in Oregon.  It is incredibly popular here.  It is a fun way to upholster pieces with some local flare.

  1. What is the approx. cost to recover a Westnofa Rock-n-Rest recliner (not incl. fabric)?

  2. Who was the maker of that gondola couch that you redid in the yellow fabric? We just picked one up for next to nothing and are going to redo it ourselves. I think it's a good 'starter' couch for learning how to do a slightly more complex upholstery job - I've done some simpler chairs. But any info on the maker or during photos would be awesome!

    1. Joe,
      Thanks for your comment. We do not know who the maker of that sofa was. It was a bit easier to upholster than some other sofas we have done. We do not have any photos of the upholstery processes for this one.
