Refreshing and Renewing an Old Chair

I was recently working with a local client who wanted me to help her update her home a bit. Most of the work was done by my client and her husband. However, we did have a few things professionally done.

My client had an old upholstered side chair that had belonged to her grandmother. We found it tucked away in the attic over the garage and I told her we could recover it in a more contemporary fabric, touch up the scratches on the arms and legs, and use it in her great room.

I had a few yards of fabric left over from a project I did about 5 years ago and I was able to give her a good price on the fabric. We also used a local area reupholstery workroom known for their quality and very reasonable rates.

Here are the before and after pictures of the chair.

The fabric has a lodge-look theme which her husband really liked, and the black background added some extra "pop" to the chair as well.

Here's a great example of making something old "new" again!
