Truer words could not be said for the Cabana. Step into Coral Gable, leave your street clothes and worries on a hook and jump into your favorite aquatic frock for a little R&R.

This bedroom was designed to counter balance traditional furnishings with contemporary items to give a modern edge to the home's Craftsman style architecture. The vivid silks, patterned cottons and glass accessories evoke a relaxed lifestyle.

The best they reupholstered 2 bar stools for me that were black leather. Used two fancy pillows for material so stools match my decor. So happy with the way they turned out :

Sarah and the crew at Michaels are the absolute best. I've had 7 chairs reupholstered from them and I couldn't be happier. Each and every chair has exceeded my expectation. Their work is incredible and the cost is fair and totally worth it.

Beautiful work! I got chair cushions, pillows, and a piano bench reupholstered. They were completed earlier than expected and all turned out beautifully. They had a huge selection of fabrics and were very knowledgeable. I appreciated their guidance and my items turned out better because of their suggestions. Thank you!

One of my favorite places. It's modestly nice. The atmosphere reminds me of France. Love love the snails and the Moroccan merge. And OMG that cream brulee. The prices are fair you get a nice diner. It's a nice place for a first date.

Decent drinks and plenty of room for pretty cheap. The cocktails were only like 8 dollars and the beers were 5-6. The PBR plus shot deal for 6 dollars is actually really decent. I want to try the food next time and happy hour. Michaels Custom Built Upholstery
