Just wrapped up this antique, family heirloom footstool.
Before & After? Not always.
Sometimes the original fabric is too damaged to use as a pattern, the foam has collapsed, and the piece has been in the family for generations.
This footstool belonged to my grandmother’s grandparents. The original upholstery was beyond saving, so it received new foam, custom welt cord, decorative tack trim, and fresh fabric while keeping the character of the original piece.
We’re currently taking on small upholstery projects including:
• Dining chair seats
• Footstools and ottomans
• Bench cushions
• Accent chairs
• Cushion and pillow covers
• Pet damage repairs
• Fabric replacement and updates
Located in Sussex County, Delaware.
Feel free to message me photos of your project for a free estimate.
