All About Looks was a really cute store and a great place to spend my morning! Not only did I see some beautiful fabrics, but I also learned a lot. I learned that the weight of a fabric does not always mean that its strong or durable. The most interesting material I learned about was cork, which is now used for flooring, walls, and even upholstery. Cork has become very popular because it looks very similar to wood flooring but is cheaper. Cork also is a natural material, which many customers prefer. One of my favorite things in the store were the electronic window treatments. I think these are great because they do a good job of blocking out light and are very easy to use. Though they have a more modern look to them, I think they could be used in various design schemes. The women that worked at All About Looks were very informative, kind, and welcoming, I will be sure to return there!
This chair was brought into All About Looks to be upholstered. The customer picked out the fabrics she wanted and decided where on the chair she wanted each piece of fabric to go. Bobby, the upholsterer at All About Looks, has begun placing the fabric on each piece of the chair. He pins the fabric down on the chair first in order to help make sure it all looks correct before it is permanently attached. Bobby is doing an excellent job on this chair. Being an upholsterer is something I could NEVER do. Way to go Bobby!!
