So we've had our first piece of furniture re-covered! We've had this great chair for a few years now but it was covered in a burnt orange velvet (you can see the before in the last image), and I've finally had it recovered. I chose black and white ticking because to me it's timeless and looks classic and modern at the same time. I LOVE it! Thanks to
MN who referred the upholsterer,
Romano Falchi. He did a great job and at a very reasonable price.
If you're in the London area and need something re-upholstered,
contact Romano. He even sent me images of the new chair in progress! I think I will paint the legs a coral color, at
Lisa's suggestion. I couldn't decide what color would look best and that's what she had in mind and I agree. Love, love the chair now!

Love it, Leigh!
Wonderful to have a good recommendation for an upholsterer. Thanks for sharing that. All my local ones have retired.
I wonder whether this is a trade that will just die out in time, as people get used to throwing out and buying more self-assembly rubbish furniture?
ah that looks great!
we went with stripes too... go to the link below if you'd like to see it was our very first attempt at reupholstering!
