Chris and I started taking an upholstery class last night and it was a lot of work, a lot of fun and so nice to get some of the ugly furniture out of our house! We are taking it in Jamaica Plain at the Eliot School. I am so excited to be doing this, as you all know I love to be able to do things myself! Here are some photos of our first class: I am working on the red velvet chairs from the living room, and they had millions of tacks in them! It took me three hours just to take the upholstery off! Now I understand why it cost so much to get stuff reupholstered. Also the foam in my chairs had completely disintegrated so it all started falling like sawdust!

About Vallery...I live outside of Boston with my husband, two children, and dog. For the past 8 years I have been working with clients to help them make their home dreams a reality. From helping to build homes from the ground up to helping round out already finished spaces, I listen to my clinets and let their vision guide our process. I have always been a creative person planning spaces and working to make them function better. After completing the Residential Interiors program at Boston Architectural College I learned how to combine my love for funcion and flow with my eye for color, scale, and balance. As a graduate of New York University's Stern School of Business, I understand project planning and budget management. My experience working with clients, contractors, and architects helps to coordinate and streamline the home building and renovation process, helping my clients to have the home they dream of with less of the stress that comes with building and decision making.
