This is what the 1960s Swivel Chair looked like before the Redo...

My husband/wife client team ended up choosing this fabric after much deliberation.  This was a compromise for both of them.  Durable and plain-ish for him...and a bit graphic for her.  Good choice, I thought.

After just 3 weeks from start to finish...these chairs were REupholstered and fabulous again! 

I showed my clients how a pillow could easily change the look...

...and add the POP of color that she loved.

This REdo made these old chairs go from DRAB to FAB!

What do you think?

REupholstered 1960's Swivel Chairs!

My latest client wanted to get a FABULOUS pair of chairs from the 1960's REupholstered and asked for my help with the process.  

She was overwhelmed with where to start and how to get the job done.  

I assured her it would be painless...and it was.

Here is a photo of the chairs she inherited recently from her late mother in law.


To make this process as painless as possible for her, I went fabric shopping FOR her and sent her photos from my phone...and brought her some of the samples so she could feel the fabric.

This is the craziest one I found...she loved it, but her husband did NOT!

He wanted plain...

And durable...

On the other hand, she wanted it to maybe be BOLD...?

And possibly neutral with a TWIST...?

Or a bit GRAPHIC...?

Maybe even patterned? 

What do you think they chose for her REupholstery job?

Stay tuned for the REveal...
