Scrounging. That is what I was doing when I first moved here, looking through back hallways of…read morewarehouses and buildings, looking for any pieces of furniture possible, unaware of the peso versus the dollar and saving every peso I could. With finding existing furniture that was so-so in my apartment, and finding an awesome couch but definitely worn and not having seen the light of day, I was good, for the first year. Living in the building about this tienda, I figured having them reupholster my furniture was better than hauling out the furniture, and then hauling up furniture to the fourth floor (no elevator!). Having no elevator, and little furniture might have been part of the incentive, however, when I received back the couch, the sofa, the chairs, and four years later? - Immaculate condition and comfortable. I have three dogs, three cats, if you can imagine what furniture COULD look like with that combination. Yet, they look as new as the day I had them redone - even with the dogs taking muddy paws one day to the sofa, it cleaned perfectly except one little section, and this is four years later. I am going to have them take two pieces and they clean the whole piece of furniture as well. Add to this curtains done to perfection, and you see there is a reason this tienda has operated in the family for 50 years. So many fabrics, colors and reasons to choose this tienda, they can take anything and turn it into more comfortable, plushier, softer furniture. If you look at the cafe across the street, Delisa's, you will see the tables and chairs they did for them, gorgeous! It might seem alot of money to have a valuable piece done, but the investment you will see for later. Reliable, resourceful, and durable, this is a GREAT source for furnishings and repair.
