From Julie:
Today’s Design*Sponge clued us in to Chairloom, an Ardmore, Pennsylvania-based company owned by Molly Worth that salvages and reupholsters vintage furniture. Her wares can be found at the Bee’s Nest (16 E. Eagle Rd., Havertown, PA; 610-789-2720 and Estate Antiques (725 S. 4th Street, Philadelphia, PA ; 215-922-5714). Our favorite chairs are those covered with fabric from Canadian Virginia Johnson, one of our all-time favorite print and patternists. Johnson’s fabrics are available on her website; go to virginiajohnson.com. N.B. On April 6, Chairloom will be at the Brooklyn Flea Market.

From Sarah:
British designer Suzy Hoodless used salvaged radiators, old doors, antique linens, and vintage pieces from Sweden to refurbish the chapel on the Corrour Estate in Scotland. The walls are clad in Victorian pine rescued from the roof of St. Pancras Station in London, and the walls are papered with old issues of The Scotsman newspaper. For more images, go to suzyhoodless.com; for a first-hand experience, check out rental availability at corrour.co.uk
