Vintagerenewal.com is an online upholstery-art boutique specializing in blending classic & modern objects. The upholstery is commonly covered in vintage fabrics and re-purposed fabrics such as former drapery & funky bedcovers. This is a self-inspired idea of green upholstery design. Each of the pieces are a unique expression of what is interesting enough to re-purpose. |

I, personally, am happy to see our local art festival incorporating a few "green-themed" events! Education is the key and this is one way to get the whole family involved and have fun at the same time.
