Reupholstery Classics
I looooooooooove reupholstering stuff. Did you know this? Oh, I know you did :) Our house is a graveyard of things I need to get reupholstered. To be exact.. 6 dining room chairs, 2 living room chairs, 1 settee in my office and 1 settee in our bedroom. Yikes! I'm saving my money up and it will go straight to my upholsterer.

Wow - what a difference that makes! I love watching Sarah's House and seeing which pieces of furniture she'll pick to reupholster and always love the fabric she chooses!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Bryn! I have a thing for these before + afters as well. Loving the gray velvet settee and the floral chair. Gorgeous!

Amazing...I'd visit my upholsterer every week if I could. The family business has been around forever and is the place my grandmother used to take her stuff, some of which I have with their labels still attached. Love a good family business that has staying power.
ReplyDeleteAnd that last chair and the Louis XV settee...simple amazing.
Wow. Those are all amazing! I especially love the second chair and the couch below it. And of course the super plush chair. I'd take them all!!! I wish I knew a good upholsterer in my area. Know of anyone in the DC area I could use?
ReplyDeleteWow...you can really do anything your imagination can create with reupholstering, huh? (that's a funny word). Thanks for sharing. They are truly some remarkable transformations.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is my kind of post! I don't even know which one is my favourite - they all are!! I wish I knew how to upholster :(
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Bryn....Love taking trash and turning it into treasure!!! I have found many a wing chair on the side of the road and in the truck it goes!!! I want to eat that gray sofa!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post,

I feel your pain about having an inordinate amount of furniture waiting to be reupholstered. We currently have 4 dining chairs, 2 cane back club chairs and 2 more occasional chairs sitting in our formal living room waiting to be gussied up.
ReplyDeleteI love the french sofa, the gray chair (a cool alternative to the anthropologie astrid chair), and the last floral wingback.
So pretty!! I've often thought about taking an upholster class at my local fabric store, this make me want to even more. The largest upholster diy project I've done is a Queen Anne chair - turned out great, but the back fo the chair was SO much work :)
ReplyDeleteThat couch! That chair! that other chair! They're all amazing. serious inspiration.
ReplyDeletefabulous transformations! especially the tufted chair...I so wish I can reupholster...any good tutorials/books out there? I'm sure ur upholstery projects will be so awesome...that's a lot of fabulous furniture u have!
ReplyDeleteI , too, am a collecter for reupholstery! I have 6 patio chairs I need to have new cushions made for as well as a living room chair. I've also been on the hunt for two footstools to reupholster in La Fiorentina that I found on ebay - I'm saving it for the perfect ones! The bad thing is that we live in a 2 bedroom condo - and my husband is definitely not thrilled every time I come home with a piece of furniture for us to get reupholstered someday when we've saved up for it!
ReplyDeleteI live in Charlotte, too and love your blog. Would you share the name of your upholstery guy?
ReplyDeleteLove the before and after shots; the material is divine!
