This came in! A very kind family donated this dining room set this Fall. It had been at their cottage since 1937 and they wanted to find it a good new home. I'm still considering my options on what to do with it. It's vintage Canadiana, made by the North American Bent Wood Company, formerly of Owen Sound. Lovely piece with a 6 foot buffet, tall hutch, four chairs, table with two extensions and mirror.

Winston Churchill's Chair I do custom work for clients and that means converting their vision to the finished product. My client is a big fan of Churchill. Once he had a chance to read in finished product, he said he felt just like the venerable former Prime Minister. Here's some pictures of the original Churchill chair, and the chair before (in green) and after.

I was happy to help out this group that was setting up an apartment and privately sponsoring a Syrian family of five. They should be arriving any day now.

Closer look and a before view

Here's a pair of chairs that are waiting for you! Original mid-century modern frames (donated) with new cushions. Mixed fabric grays. $600 for the pair.
