Before & After: Living Room Chair

Upholstery has always been something I wished I could do. A few years back I enquired at an upholstery shop if I could be apprenticed, but I was firmly talked out of it.

DS1 sits on this chair in the living room which badly needed a facelift!:



The sides unscrewed nicely so I was able to cover all the visible parts of it as well as making new cushion covers in one of my favourite Sanderson prints.



DS1 likes it very much so job done then :-)

Amazing what a nice coat of colorful fabric can do! I have all the office chairs in our house covered in animal skin prints. When I had to sell one of them, I took my fabric off and the old chair looked brand new!
