I am so excited! I am signed up for an upholstery class next month!
Last fall I bought a Groupon for half off an upholstery class at a local interior design/custom upholstery shop called Something to Talk About Interiors. Score!!
It took me a while to find the chair but as fate would have it, my firm was doing an update on their furniture and I was able to purchase 2 matching side chairs for $25 each. Love it! I did some checking and turns out these are Steelcase chairs, made in Italy. [No, they are not fra-gi-le. Props if you recognize that Christmas Story reference]. I know I got a total deal.
Took even longer to find the perfect fabric. I knew in my head what I wanted but finding it seemed to take forever. I wanted a floral but not anything stuffy. Something a bit bold but not too graphic since the living room is a bit more formal. It needed to have the right colors, which was the hardest part. I finally found the perfect fabric at Joann. Even better, I had a coupon for 50% off.
I will keep you posted on how the class goes. Hopefully I will be able to take some pictures and I won't staple my finger!
I just finished an upholstery class about a month ago. It was fun and challenging. And I didn't staple my finger but I did get a few scrapes here and there. Have fun! Can't wait to see the finished project!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it transformed myself. Glad to hear that you didn't have any staple mishaps. I am not the most coordinated person at times so finger injuries are always a worry. :-)
