About Us
Ava Home & Design is a family owned business
operating in Atlanta, Georgia, but shipping worldwide.
It all started when I began making decorative pillows with upholstery fabrics when I found out I moved to a textile district when dropping my daughter off at art class in my new city. Always a seamstress, I somehow transformed from dressmaker to pillow maker. So many fabrics and trims!! And then, I ran across a fur pillow and couldn't stop touching it. Couldn't afford to buy it though!! Bought a faux, but it just isn't the same. Thus began my search for fur to make them myself. After a couple of purchases from vendors where the fur was not as pretty and shed a lot, I finally found what I was looking for. It started with white until someone asked for sunshine yellow. Started with pillows until someone asked for a stool. Then a chair, then a bench, then this color, then that color. All items were added to my listings from items requested by someone.
When I first started all of the colors available now were not available then so I had to learn how to color myself. I can pretty much make any color you request if you send me a picture. It took a while for me to transition back to a few clothing pieces,(after various requests from my daughters), since pillows and upholstery and carpentry is so much easier. Did I mention my Dad is a carpenter by trade which helped a lot when I attempted to make a bench.
My goal is to help as many young ladies and fellas first realize, then utilize, their gifts and talents to get the best enjoyment out of their lives!!!
Our creations are a combination of the carpentry and dressmaking professions that are part of our family history!! We make things that add a little uniqueness to your space. Things that you will buy anyway, but won't find in the local stores. My favorite right now is the Mongolian (Tibetan) Lamb Fur. I don't like taking care of a pet, but I like the softness of their fur. These pillows and furniture are the next best thing!!
