    WOW! That is truly elegant and sophisticated! A complete 180 of what most upholstery shops look like. I am so inspired!

    RETIRED… NOW THIS IS ENOUGH TO MAKE A MAN COME OUT OF RETIREMENT. WELL LIGHTED, VERY CLEAN LINES AND ORGANIZED LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH TO FRANCHISE. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE SEWING MACHINE.

    I especially like the bucket seat desk chairs that match the wall color. I have plans to make my computer chair into one of those…maybe even trying to sell them.

    for the right person I’d have something like that in our facility.
    that’s a beautiful set up. nice and clean, very organized, no big pile of material in the corner..
    so who wants to do something in NC with me?
