ISO Great Tailor in FG/CH
I have a DWR upholstered couch with cushions that have a couple tears and need mending. I've spoken to reweavers and they cannot fix--they suggested a tailor. Anyone have a great one, who speaks English, who will put the proper time into repairing these (I don't want a hack job done). Thanks!

Re-upholsterer for Old Settee
I have a heavy, old ( 1910-1920) flat back, roll arm settee that was purchased at the 1966 contents auction of the soon to be demolished Hotel Astor ( Times Square area ). It needs to be refreshed. (Unfortunately, it was first recovered in the late 60's). It also needs repair to one of its wooden legs, which is begining to split. I am not sure of the exact style but have seen similar ones on the antiques roadshow. ( Imperial, possibly?) Does anyone know of a reputable reupholsterer in the Bay Ridge up through Park Slope area. The gentleman our family used for many years is now deceased. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sorry no photo , it's in storage.

Vintage Coffee Table for Sale
I'm selling a vintage coffee table for $250 or best offer. It's got rich brown wood with a leather surface and some nice carving and details (I'm having trouble posting a pic, but will email you some if you think you might want to buy it). The brand is Weiman Heirloom, and I think it's from the 1940s. It's got some dings and nicks, but is basically in good condition for a vintage piece. The dimensions are 50" x 22" x 16". You must be able to pick it up. If interested, email me at mbass2231@yahoo.com

Mirror Mirror on the Wall...
We want to get a custom cut piece of mirror installed on one of our walls in a walk in closet, but having no luck figuring out where we could go.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated. We originally talked to our contractors doing our reno, but it felt incredibly expensive to go through them. Figure there must be tons of places I could directly work with to get this done in our finished space.
Thanks in advance.

Atlas Shelving System for Sale
I am selling a 6 month old Atlas shelving and cabinet system configured as a home office. This system is modular and may be reconfigured as desired.
This system measures 117.5" in width and includes upper cabinets, several drawers and shelves, work surfaces, all metal standards and accessories for installation. The wood species is white oak.
For those that know, I do not need to explain the beauty and supreme workmanship of Atlas products. You may take a look at their website www.atlaseast.com to price it out. My configuration sells for $13,386 new, and that price is without tax and a several month lead time.
This system is in perfect condition.
