    I used to do furniture re-upholstery, a long time ago, But I have to tell you the way you pieced the foam together to make the arm, is exactly how we did it to make custom cushions. I like your work, you have a wonderfully diverse skill set, and I look forward to watching more of your videos. :)

    This has become my favorite channel in the past few days. I watched the entry wardrobe video yesterday and became so inspired that I picked up $300 worth of supplies to create my own in my closet. In this video, I was expecting the part where you say "then I bought the cushions..." but NO - you MADE your own cushions. I am beyond amazed. Thank you for your channel and your jokes here and there (about furniture getting too big for your small size or not having good relationships with pins...lol).
