Waste Not, Want Not

I came across a really interesting info graphic recently about the challenges and opportunities in the furniture industry and am excited to share it with you.

It’s shocking to see just how much waste we create but it’s also really inspiring to see that reusing what we already have can make a big impact on our world.

Thank you Kay Chesterfield Inc Re-Upholstery for compiling this graphic.

Times, they are a changing!

How much do you love those posters that list the news headlines, popular songs and movies, and the cost of items on your birth year? I totally love them. I love getting a glimpse into the past.

We recently had a client give us such a glimpse. They brought in a receipt for the recovery of 6 dining room chair seats, dated November 8, 1989 done by Trevor Brown Upholstery. It is an actual hand written receipt also - blows my mind!

Spoiler - the price of upholstery has definitely increased in the last 30 years but it is very interesting to see and have an actual receipt from Trevor Brown Upholstery past.

(also, that person must have a meticulous filing system - I can barely find my keys)

The days are getting shorter.

The weather is getting colder.

But it’s not all bad….snowmobile season is around the corner. So bring your old seat in for a recover or repair.

and the amazing AFTER product. It’s like a whole new seat!

I don’t know about you but by February, I get pretty tired of winter. I start to long for more sunshine and warmth and I dream of relaxing evenings on the patio with a good book and cool drink.

So today I’m sharing the recovery of some patio furniture to get you in the mood for summer too.

How great does this look? So comfortable and relaxing!

I mean, COME ON SUMMER - it’s time for us all to enjoy this view!

This week I want to showcase a few really unique chairs. The sky is the limit when it comes to upholstery and it’s so fun to see clients’ tastes in full effect with their choices!

This piece was recovered in a silver velvet and painted to match

This chair was upholstered in a hair on cow hide. I could pet it all day.

This chair was upholstered in a sweet animal print (animal prints, they’re so hot right now) and the wood was also painted black. Tres cool

These chairs are so retro and soooo comfortable - absolutely worth the investment of the recovery. Enjoy!
