Why Small Businesses  Matter

Meet Ayda Carvajal, owner of Empire Upholstery & Panels.

Q: What inspired the creation of Empire Upholstery & Panels, and how has your passion for restoration influenced your work?

A: Empire Upholstery & Panels was born out of a passion for transforming furniture and giving it new life. We believe that well-crafted pieces deserve to be restored and appreciated for years to come. This passion drives every project we take on, whether it's breathing new life into a beloved antique or customizing panels to enhance a modern space.

Q: How does your expertise in upholstery, paneling, and wood restoration set you apart from others in the industry?

A: Our experience in upholstery, panels, and wood restoration allows us to offer fine, detailed craftsmanship that makes a real difference. We focus on precision and quality, ensuring that each piece we restore or create meets the highest standards. Our ability to combine traditional techniques with modern design makes us a trusted choice for customers looking for elegance and durability.

Q: Can you share a memorable project where your craftsmanship helped transform a space for a customer?

A: One of our most rewarding projects was restoring a set of heirloom chairs for a family that had owned them for generations. The chairs had significant wear and tear, but with careful upholstery work and wood restoration, we brought them back to their original beauty. Seeing the customer’s emotional reaction when they saw the finished pieces reminded us why we love what we do—helping people preserve the stories and history behind their furniture.
