Tay Nakamoto Nakamoto’s first upholstery project was a reupholstering a set of vintage chairs from a flea market. “I realized it was decades-old butts that were on there. I decided to reupholster it and I realized it’s not that hard,” she says. “I decided to upholster the headboard. I had gotten good at it by just learning and attempting.” (Cameron Munn)
