“I contacted Olivia on a Wednesday afternoon about constructing neutral slipcovers for a red leather upholstered chaise w/back cushion and bolster pillow. Olivia came out the next morning with loads of fabric samples in hand and helped me pick the perfect fabric and color to coordinate with my other furnishings and colors in my home. We picked a beautiful 'ultra suede/microfiber' in a gorgeous camel/beige neutral. She quoted a price on which we agreed (the price was in line with my expectations), took my chaise w/cushion and bolster pillow and said 'give me three weeks'. I was nervous about how the slipcovers would look, not having seen it done - but Olivia had sent me pics of her other work, and it was beautiful, so I was comfortable in her ability to 'make it work'. In less than a week and a half (with a holiday included), Olivia called and said 'we're ready to deliver'! (Olivia obviously believes in the philosophy 'under-promise and over-deliver'). I was thrilled, but still nervous..... Well: NOW I AM LOOKING FOR OTHER PIECES I CAN HAVE ATLANTA CRAFTSMAN WORK FOR ME! Olivia's workmanship is absolutely superb, and the slipcovers on the chaise/cushion/bolster do not look like slipcovers - the piece looks like a brand new chaise upholstered in rich suede with matching back cushion and bolster! And I still have the flexibility of easily removing the neutral slipcovers via cleverly hidden zippers to show the pop of red leather when I want (during cooler months when I want to 'warm things up a bit'!). I cannot say enough good things about the beauty and expert workmanship in Olivia's work - except that I will never call anyone else to do upholstery work for me; and I cannot stop looking at my 'new' chaise! Atlanta Craftsman doesn't just 'make it work' - Atlanta Craftsman makes it EXTRAORDINARY!!!!”

“It was a pleasure to work with Jennifer D'Zio. We hired her to design living room, sunroom and the kitchen eating area. The project was finished on time and we were very pleased. I would recommend them, their fabric library is very extensive and they have fabrics for all budgets.”

“Deb Kubu is absolutely outstanding! If you are looking for someone to take your vision to the next level, Deb is up to the task. We have a 1970 Airstream with upholstery from the late 80's. Deb did an amazing job walking me through the whole process, from picking fabrics, explaining pros/cons of options, and eventually creating the vision that we dreamed of. We wanted to use classic Pendelton blankets as accents to a neutral pallet. Deb made durable currents, pillows, pillow cases, cornices, and even affixed the snaps inside the actual Airstream for us. If she still lived locally I'd have dozens of projects for her to do. Just say yes, you will be happy you did.”

Furniture Repair or Upholsterer FAQs
The duration of a kitchen design project varies widely based on scope, but a complete kitchen renovation can typically take 3 to 6 months from initial design to completion. Planning and design might take 1 to 2 months, while construction and installation will take another 2 to 4 months. Remember, customization and material availability can impact these timelines.
Kitchen designers are knowledgeable about the latest design trends and materials, ensuring your kitchen is both stylish and functional. Sustainable materials and smart kitchen technologies are currently popular, as are designs that promote open spaces and natural light. Quartz remains a top choice for countertops due to its durability and aesthetic variety. Your designer can help you navigate these options, balancing current trends with timeless design principles.
Before consulting a kitchen designer, gather inspiration (photos, magazines, online boards) to clarify your aesthetic preferences. Also, think critically about your budget and functional needs (e.g., cooking habits, number of users, storage requirements). Being clear about your needs and wants will help the designer create a tailored solution.
The most common challenges include staying within budget, making decisions among numerous options, and managing the disruption of construction. Experienced kitchen designers address these by establishing a clear budget upfront, guiding homeowners in making informed decisions, and creating a detailed project timeline. Regular communication is key to navigating unforeseen issues smoothly.
Expect regular updates and open communication channels throughout your project. Professional kitchen designers often use project management software to track progress and decisions, ensuring transparency. Meetings at key milestones for approvals and feedback are standard. Itʼs reasonable to expect responsiveness within 24-48 hours for any inquiries you may have during the project.
To achieve a balance between trendiness and timelessness, focus on incorporating trends through easily changeable elements like paint colors or hardware, while keeping foundational elements (e.g., cabinetry, flooring) classic and durable. Your kitchen designer can guide you in selecting materials and designs that reflect current trends without sacrificing longevity or comfort.
