Chair refresh.

A month ago I was asked if I could reupholster some chairs for a new client. The dining set was her grandmother’s and 100 years old. She had the chairs reupholstered years ago but it was time for a refresh.

The chairs were going to look awesome with new fabric. I was looking forward to redoing the chairs. I picked up the chair seats and had planned on working on them a couple days later. It was going to be a storm day, which is a perfect day for reupholstering! Unfortunately, I started getting sick with a chest infection and was useless for a couple weeks.

So fast forward two weeks and another storm day. (We’ve had a few!!) I was able to tear off the old fabric and start on reupholstering. The biggest part of the job was to remove the two layers of fabric and lots of staples and nails.

Underneath the fabric, the old padding was in good shape. The padding was still cushy and wasn’t damaged by liquids. I covered the seats with two layers of batting.

My client found some beautiful teal fabric for a great price. When I finished the seats I couldn’t wait to reunite them with the frames. I loved the result and my client and her family did too!
