6:30 AM – Rise and Design
My day at Feathers Fine Custom Furnishings begins earlier than most might expect. There’s something magical about watching the sunrise through my home studio window while sketching preliminary designs for the day ahead. With a steaming cup of coffee in hand, I review client notes and prepare for upcoming consultations.
8:30 AM – Studio Arrival
The showroom comes alive as our team arrives. The morning light streams through our expansive windows, highlighting the carefully curated displays of custom pieces. First order of business: reviewing fabric swatches and material samples for three ongoing projects.
10:00 AM – Client Consultation
Today’s first appointment involves a couple looking to furnish their newly renovated Victorian home. We discuss:
• Custom upholstery options
• Sustainable wood choices
• Period-appropriate design elements
• Bespoke sizing requirements
1:30 PM – Workshop Visit
After lunch, I head to our workshop to check on current projects. The air is rich with the scent of fresh-cut wood and leather. Our master craftsmen are working on a stunning wingback chair, and I’m amazed at how the hand-carved details are coming together.
3:00 PM – Design Development
Back at my desk, I focus on translating client visions into technical drawings. Each piece requires precise measurements and material specifications to ensure our artisans can create exactly what our clients envision.
5:30 PM – Final Touches
Before heading home, I review tomorrow’s schedule and ensure all material orders are processed. There’s something deeply satisfying about knowing each piece we create will become part of someone’s daily life, their personal sanctuary.
Working at Feathers Fine Custom Furnishings isn’t just a job – it’s a passion for creating lasting beauty through craftsmanship and design. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities to transform spaces into personal masterpieces.
The Craftsman’s Note
Remember, custom furniture isn’t just about measurements and materials; it’s about understanding how people live and creating pieces that enhance their daily experiences. Every curve, every stitch, every finish tells a story of dedication to excellence and attention to detail.
