Updated some dinning room chairs this week. Went from light grey to this rich brown rattan vinyl! I couldn't believe the difference and how well the vinyl looks with the brown wood. Thank you Carolin for being a great customer and friend to NIU!

Its that time of the year when boats are comming off the water. A lot of people that need their seats fixed wait until the spring to contact an upholstery shop and by then most schedules are full. The best time to bring your seats in for repair or to upgrade is right now before you put your boat away for the winter. That way the seats are done by the spring so you can get your boat back out on the water as soon as our crazy weather allows!! Contact Jess @ 319-240-7630.

Thank you to the Mack family for bringing your pontoon in for a custom cover! It was a pleasure working with you. They even got to test it out on the first day, it started raining before they even made it out of the parking lot!

We are getting closer to the end of boating season here in Iowa:( Now is a good time to get on the schedule to have your custom boat cover made before storing your boat away for the winter! Give Jess a call @ 319-240-7630.

I just want to congratulate Senior Chief John Parkin and his beautiful wife Kari Parkin and 2 children on Johns retirement of 26 years in the United States Navy!
My husband and John met back in 2004, I think, when they were both stationed in Dubuque on recruiting duty. John and Kari have been good friends for a long time and I am so happy for them to finally be able to live life out side of the Navy and all the curve balls it can sometimes throw at you.
I wish I could have been there today to celebrate you! I want to thank you BOTH and the boys for your service as it takes a great support system for our military members to do all the things they need to do! I wish you all the best in your next chapter and hope we get to hang out soon!
Congratulations on your retirement John!!!
