I know I had to have it, I was able to persuade my husband to put the chair into our car.
You must understand my husband's car should always be clean; putting the chair in, with no protection on the upholstery was not an easy task!!!
The procedure took a few months.
I took off the old fabric, which was old and dirty,
scraped, refilled and painted some parts of the wood work.
Found a fabric that suits my taste, added foam, and batting,
stapled the fabric in the right place...
...........made a few mistakes along the way…......... :-) !!!
Then added a matching trim with a hot glue gun, burned my fingers....
to cover to up the staples.
I enjoyed the transformation very much and I am happy I did it.
The fact that I didn't give the job to a real professional upholsterer was the most satisfying for me.
It was worth the work!!!
I really recommend looking into these sites, as they do give a wonderful insight and understanding of what you are supposed to do during the procedure.
