Default Reupholstered a chair

Only did one so far, but came out pretty decent. Not bad for $35 in material. New is the grey, shown in comparison next to old brown material. 20180527_190536.jpg20180527_190606.jpg20180527_190634.jpg20180527_190646.jpg20180527_190804.jpg

The upholstery looks great--a professional job.

It doesn't show up well in the photos, but I hope you took the opportunity to paint the frames before re-installiing the cushions.

Thanks, actually even though the set is almost 15 years old they look exactly like they do when I bought it it's like a silver antique type paint look but it's in great shape. Even the brown upholstery was like new I just didn't like the look of it anymore.

Finished the 2nd one, pleased with the results especially for 35 dollars. I didn't even have to buy any tools my father lent me an electric stapler that was my grandfather's from when he used to reupholster car Interiors. Excuse the bare wood stairs , new carpet coming soon.20180529_195226.jpg
