Before Pic of Reupholstered Chairs

Okay, so I had a request for a before picture of a reupholstered item. Here is a scarey picture of the 2 gorgeous chairs reupholstered below. For those of you who like to hunt for treasure, all you need to look for is sturdy frames that are in good condition.
The seats of the 2 chairs were so old that they were stuffed with horse hair! We repadded them and smoothed out the edges with the awesome coordinating trim seen below in the after pic. Fabric included, the client had less than $200 dollars invested in each chaitr bythe time she was done! Try that at your favorite furniture store.

Large Formal Pair of Roman Shades


Rachel's pair of formal roman shades add color and interest as you enter the room. Her furnishings are traditional rich tones so the treatments add the bright color the room needs.

The shades are fully operational. They can rest all the way down to cover the entire window or be pulled to about 16" and appear almost like custom valances. The swag in the center of the shades makes them more dramatic and formal.

Please notice "Utah" the resident dachsund as she makes a stately pose in the center of the sofa.

One large shade like this one starts at $150. These shades are over 5 feet wide and 7 feet tall. Mounting the treatment just over the window casing gives a more custom look. When ordering multiples of the same treatment expect the price to go down. All roman shades start at $75 and go up from there. This includes all mounting materials, cording and a cord cleat to adjust the height of the shades. In most cases I can hang the treatment for free.

Callie's Big Girl Room


Callie has a big girl room with a bright, cheery color combination. I made the window cornice boards that frame out the window header. Sheer panels fall from behind.
Wish I could've gotten these pictures a little bigger. No luck.

Pinched Pleat Panels







Rachel's guest room turned out beautifully when she had the walls painted a rich chocolate brown. The room has 3 large windows that we flanked in pinched pleat panels made of a natural looking linen. They function nicely for privacy as well.
What a beautiful room this turned out to be.

Reupholstered Chairs

These chairs turned out gorgeous.
This material was perfect for this project. It had a quilted, silky effect and did not take away from the ornate woodworking on the chairs.
The owner found these chairs in poor condition and got a great deal on them. Now they look very chic!
