What we Upholstered Wednesday

This little sofa gives me alllll the heart eyes. I have a real soft spot for velvet, and especially green velvet. There’s something so rich and lush about it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Today I’m sharing the coolest footstool I’ve ever seen!

This is a beloved family heirloom that needed to be recovered and refilled. The client even had a photo of his baby sister sitting on it from years ago - amazing.

It’s been restored to it’s original glory and ready for many more years of service.

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)

Today’s share is a set of gorgeous dining room chairs. They’ve been upholstered in a simple black vinyl but the contrast with the wood is just perfection. Enjoy.

Here’s a fun custom upholstered job we did - padded headrest covers for bumper cars! Is there anything our staff can’t do? Well, we can’t limbo but in the field of upholstery, we can do anything!

BEFORE - ouch! Looks like a concussion in the making

AFTER - perfectly padded and excellent colour match

AFTER - the whole gang, ready to roll (well, bump)

Hold onto your hats! Today I’m sharing a jaw dropping before and after. This tufted sofa had seen better days but with a little love and attention it’s back to it’s former glory. Well, better than it’s former glory - this sofa is AMAZING!
