"Wayne is a perfectionist. He works alone, and takes responsibility for everything. He‘s only interested in doing things the right way," notes * one local interior designer, freely praising Dziedzic‘s talents. "He tells _/ you precisely what he‘s going to do, + and can give an expert opinion on the condition of an old frame. If it is‘t useable, he‘ll tell you. The outâ€" side fabric isn‘t the story; the frame must last." Wayne builds one piece at a time, and although he has fashioned unique items for Sheridan College, among other commercial clients, the To offer customers excellent work at affordable prices, Wayne works out of a commercial unit on Sherwood Heights Drive. "As the owner and sole employee of Wayne‘s Custom Upholstery, I am committed to creating furniture that will be enjoyed for generations to come." "He worked for Barrymore Furniture in Toronto, and then he went on his own in 1965. I started working with him after that," says the younger Dziedzic, who has built numerous upholstered pieces, 4ncluding three minister‘s chairs for the Trafalgar Presbyterian Church. Rescuing those timeâ€"worn treaâ€" sures takes time, admits Dziedzic. "My young son once said to me: ‘Dad, why do old people have such neat things?" I think neat things are still available but with today‘s fast pace, speed does not allow the attenâ€" tion to detail present in older furâ€" nishings. I believe people still want neat things, but the piece has to be made to last for generations, and it has to be affordable," he says. Besides buying solid wood frames and building them up into heirloomâ€"quality pieces using the best materials available, Dziedzic restores older treasures. Aged wing chairs, sofas, and other upholstered treasures come back to life under his careful ministrations, even items that have been enjoyed for two centuries. In business on his own for 23 years, Oakvilleâ€"based artisan Wayne Dziedzic learned how to upholster chairs from his father, who worked in Canada‘s furniture manufacturing industry for half a century. ADVERTISING FEATURE t‘s rare in these days of mass Iproduction to find a furniture maker who adheres to the old ways, especially one young enough to have children who are still in erade school. Multiâ€"color paint is a relatively new interior finish that is quickly becoming a favorite among professional interior decorators and doâ€"itâ€"yourselfers.

There are hundreds of premixed color combinations to choose from, and there are a few manuâ€" facturers who will custom blend paint. Here, the decoraâ€" tor can choose two to five colors from a color palette and vary the content of each color to achieve the desired result. The possible uses of multiâ€"color paint are as limitless as the color choices.

"It‘s different every day. Today I‘m working on a chaise for poolâ€" ‘ Multiâ€"color paint has many advantages over traditionâ€" al wallcoverings like wallpaper.
