In last month’s Operational Update blog, we shared one of our recently completed projects, which took place at the DoubleTree Hilton in Anaheim, California.

During our time at the DoubleTree we refinished the hotel’s desks, dressers, nightstands and headboards, updating the furniture pieces with fresh color, hardware and upholstery.

As the DoubleTree Anaheim is a ‘full-hotel’ projects with us refinishing each of the DoubleTree’s 95 rooms, we thought we would bring you a few ‘before and after’ pictures so you can get a true sense for how refinishing and reupholstery can transform old furniture into modern, stylish, full functional pieces. By refinishing furniture instead of implementing the tradition ‘rip-and-replace’ processes, the DoubleTree Anaheim prevented countless pieces of furniture from unnecessarily entering into landfills and saved over 90 percent in carbon emissions as compared to buying new.

As the winter frost begins to melt away for most of the country, our crew had the pleasure of completing our most recent refinishing project at the DoubleTree Anaheim-Orange County in Anaheim, California. First settled in 1857, Anaheim has a historical, small town feel to it and the city is filled with attractions and activities to do, not to mention boasts warm weather almost year round. The location itself couldn’t be any more perfect for our team to be on assignment, especially with Disneyland, shopping, and sporting events just steps away.

The state of California has been developing a reputation within recent years for being a primary supporter for environmental friendliness, sustainability, and green technologies for a wide range of projects, from innovative development to everyday construction. And since we’ve been working with the DoubleTree and Hilton brands for years, it was easy for our crew to get into the swing of things.

Our time at the DoubleTree consisted of refinishing staple furniture pieces such as reupholstering headboards with refreshing new colors, and updating valuable furniture hardware, and we couldn’t be more proud of our work. And by deciding to refinishing furniture instead of buying new, the DoubleTree Hilton Anaheim-Orange County has saved a great deal of money, as well as decreased their environmental impact. The carbon footprint for the DoubleTree Hilton, a hotel with 95 rooms, would have been 119.054 in tons versus 1.178 tons with using our services. That saves over 90 percent in carbon emissions!

If you’re looking for a great place to stay while visiting the Golden State or ‘The Happiest Place on Earth’, we highly recommend booking a few nights at the DoubleTree Hilton Anaheim-Orange County. Not only will you get to sleep in a beautiful setting, but the hotel offers complimentary shuttle services to the gates of Disneyland as well as being within proximity to other various activities. And as a pet-friendly hotel, it truly is a place where fun can be had for the entire family.
