A Few Thoughts

I thought I had started a blog on jobs I had done.  If I did, I lost all the info.  I included just a small sampling of some of the projects I have completed.  I hope to add more photos as I find them.

Upholstered chair

This reminded me of an old chair you would find in a barn.  I re-upholstered the seat, centering the the name on the flour sack.

Upholstered Ottomans

Befor and after.  This one I chose to add a skirt.  You can notice the patch on the skirt.  Quite popular for collectors.

Upholstered Footstools

I had a job recovering old stools with flour sacks which were sold at a trade show.  It was quite fun.  I was given a free reign to how I used the design of the sacks to upholster.  I used welts on some and even incorporated natural occuring holes from the sacks that occurred on the others.

Upholstered Chair

This is chair that I repaired and reupholstered.  It was a fun project, I learned a lot and my client loved it.
