I am contemplating taking on the challenge of reupholstering a wingback chair I have. I know - SCARY! This chair was given to us for free and has just been sitting in a corner out of the way since it is a nasty pink color - a mix between rose and bubble gum pink - and doesn't match anything we have.
I've found quite a few tutorials on how to go about reupholstering, but wanted to know if there were any tricks or tips any of y'all have? Maybe you've found a blog that has great instructions? Any help would be greaty appreciated!
I've also found a few fabric websites, too - do y'all have any favorites? I don't want to spend a ton on fabric so I need something reasonably priced since it will take about 7 yards to reupholster the chair. Hmmm...Should I go bold a do a print? Or keep it simple and do a solid color? Decisions, decisions...
P.S. - Did you notice that cute little new badge on my sidebar? That's right. I'm a Stella & Dot Stylist :)
I've heard that it is really hard to do and very expensive if you get it done. I don't have any usefull tips on this but I am sure you'll do a great job!
