Before and After

Who doesn't love Before and Afters? Even if you don't like the "after" it's a great learning tool. Remember this chair?



With more sanding, more paint and a new seat it's so cute in floral with green check accent piping

only $135




This gold horror...


Look at the more mature "After"...... putty colored velvet with medallion accent fabric on the back and nickel nailhead trim. A steal at $225


And this pair.... went from the bordello to the board room, don't ya think?
Red velvet complete with brush fringe trim and button tufting:


Now, refined in a lovely stripe that the pictures don't do justice to at all



The first two are for sale at the shop, and the striped pair were for a client, but are a perfect example of how much new upholstery can change the look of something. Vision, and/or imagination, that's all it takes. Tune in for the next phase of B & A. I have an idea for a giveaway......

  1. New upholstery, a coat of fresh paint -- it's amazing how something yucky can be transformed. Of course, I would have re-upholstered those red chairs in deep red velvet to retain that bordello look, but that's just me.
