by Greg

Essentia Sheets

We roll up to Essentia Calgary on a clear early spring day. The store is fresh and minimal, and in addition to the lack of excess packaging, signs, and junkage—one of the first things I notice is the lack of smell. I breathe in deeply, and smell only air moist with melting snow—and a faint whiff of cotton. It's a moment I've been waiting for for a while.

Brother Laura Ashley Innovis Nx-800 Sewing Machine Review

by Greg

A Designer's Dream Machine In our experience, one of the simplest and most radical ways to transform a space is through soft furnishings. From cushions to slipcovers, a lick of fabric can extend the life of old furnishings, transform dowdy pieces into debutantes, and make your home more comfortable. Yet upholstery is often overlooked.
