Before my dear Granny passed away, she gifted me her number one set of antique chairs.
Granny had purchased them well over 30 years ago at an antique store in the southern part of the country.
While I am not really into antique furnishing, the chairs were simply beautiful. They were all well-constructed, they had no damage to them, plus the hand carved design was unlike anything that I had ever seen. The only thing that was wrong with these chairs was that they needed to be reupholstered. The fabric was worn out plus had to be upgraded. I have never had anything like this done before plus I knew virtually nothing about reupholstering furniture. In fact, I didn’t know of any reupholstering suppliers in my region. So, I went on the internet to see if there were any reupholstering suppliers nearby. And though there were none in the city, I was able to locate a small reupholstering company in a nearby town. I contacted the company plus unfortunately, they couldn’t deliver a solid quote without seeing the chairs themselves. They did mention that the minimum price would be $150, which I am not sure if that was a decent price or not. After doing some more research, I discovered videos of people reupholstering their antique furniture themselves. I even found someone reupholstering antique chairs that they found at an antique store. I thought about taking on this DIY challenge of reupholstering these chairs, although I didn’t want to take the occasion plus ruin them. So, I set an appointment with the reupholstering corporation, plus I will be taking the chairs to get them worked on next week.
