Upholstery Gallery

We've had some exceptional Midcentury Modern projects rolling through the shop lately so this year we're declaring October to be Midcentury Modern month. With its clean lines and adaptability, the furniture style does not appear to be losing appeal anytime soon. These funky three-legged chairs show the fun, sometimes impractical, side of Midcentury style. We repaired legs on one and reupholstered both to make them great conversation pieces again.
We were saving this couch for a special post and then forgot to put it up!😊 Since then the owners sent us a picture of it in their home. (We love when customers send us pictures to see furniture back in the natural environment.) They inherited this couch with the purchase of their home and hauled it all the way from western Washington for us to upholster. We knew it was going to be a winner from the beginning and are very happy with how it turned out. We retied the springs, updated the legs, installed new foam and covered it in new upholstery.
Another look we've recently had an increase in requests for is buffalo check, specifically in neutral colors. This customer brought in a picture from http://www.loveandspecs.com/blog/farmhouse-living-room-makeover for her inspiration. The chair size was just right for this size pattern. The check looks very fresh combined with similarly toned florals as shown in the inspiration article. What do you think of these bold looks? Are you ready to try them yourself?
There are a few fabrics we've recently seen an increased interest in and the linen look is definitely one of them. We have a wide variety of fabrics that look close to linen, but this customer knew exactly what she wanted so she sourced her own. She took the look from worn English cottage floral to very NOW French country chic. To read more about linen as an upholstery option, read this article that just came out from Houzz:https://bit.ly/2vzSlyr. Our upholsterers would also want us to mention that are challenges when it comes to working with linen. These items were lined for a cleaner look. This linen was also stretchy which proved to be a challenge with the stripes.
Here's another great example of how to customize an heirloom to keep it in the family. This chair went from belonging in a fussy parlor to looking like it could be at home in any lakeside retreat. In addition to the new hide leather upholstery, we repaired it and refurbished the finish.
To say that this living room set came to us in rough shape would be an understatement. We replaced missing trim and feet, rebuilt the interiors, refinished the wood and put on upholstery in a bright new tapestry. Now, you might even say they look as good as the day they were made.
This beautiful English nursing chair came in with a story that pulled out our heartstrings. We were touched to be chosen for the opportunity to restore it to it's intended glory. The owners really have a great eye for beautiful antiques and the fabric brought to go with the chair is perfectly fitting.
This wingback is a great example of the use of bold fabric. Mixing fabrics can allow you to use an expensive fabric with an economically priced fabric or a durable fabric with a less durable fabric. To pull it off only vary 1-2 elements. This project works because it's the same color pallet across all three fabrics, with a varied size of patterns.
Have you heard the hot color for 2018 is supposed to be Ultra Violet? We have a preference for a purple more towards Bordeaux like this project. Will you be updating your decor to Ultra Violet? These clients were the sweetest. When you hear the husband say "she's waited long enough, she deserves this" (in reference to his wife) you know he's won our hearts. We replaced the legs on the hide-a-bed to make it taller and helped find a textured fabric similar to the magazine clipping that inspired the makeover. Quite a transformation!
Cozy glam at it's finest, this Hollywood Regency style sofa was one of our favorite upholstery projects of the year, and a fitting wrap to 2017. There'll be more amazing furniture from this client. We can only hope they'll allow us a sneak-peak into their house when it's all put together.
Don't you just want to sink into this cozy sectional? With the right knit throw and some contrasting pillows, it could look right at home in a cabin OR a glamorous living room. You might think it has no place in your home with kids and pets, but our customer smartly chose stain repellant Crypton Fabric so messes wouldn't be a problem.
Great-great-great Aunt's antique chair redone in a cozy tweed and a nice warm finish. We customized it with a few buttons for just the right amount of added interest. A chair that would be right at home with our winter fabrics board. Can't you just imagine curling up with a book next to the fire?
Yet another example of the transformative power of color, and how it can update an heirloom to a desired gift. These chairs went from looking like they were straight from the '70s to standout conversation pieces.
