I think this is one of my favourite before-and-afters ever. Not only is that a fabulous print, it suits the chair perfectly. Well done!
Wow, it looks absolutely stunning! I’m wanting to reupholster a chaise lounge, any good tips for someone who’s a total newbie??
CUTE!
great fabric!
Wowza! Amazing transformation.
YUM! I am a modernista and have a “victorianna” type client. This is where we can meet in the middle!
no way! that chair was amazing before. ):
Awesome. My one caveat is that it looks hard to keep clean? But otherwise- phenomenal job!
This is absolutely amazing! I wish I had that skill – we have a family heirloom couch from Switzerland that my fiancee wants to get reupholstered…it would be amazing to have a result like this!
love love love that after! esp. the fabric.
I think I need to learn how to reupholster! That chair came out beautifully.
Hello!
I do love the new chair, because it has the same great lines… But what I would REALLY LOVE… is the old fabric, dirty and all! I hope she saved it for someone who is an ephemera artist (LIKE me hint hint) I am sure there are many who would covet it! …

Great makeover! Is it just me, or does the before chair look like it was upholstered with a mattress?! :)
Sometimes bold, modern fabrics look out of place on more classic shapes, but this works so well.
Love it, Love it, Love it!!!! I just can’t get enough of traditional pieces with a modern twist. Great job!
Vanessa – yikes! The stains on the seat are really disgusting… You can do something with that?
I’m in love!
I love love love this makeover.
Cute! This is my favorite b&a of the week.
what FUN!
what FUN! I think you should make yourself a dress out of the same fabric, and have your portrait taken in that chair.
Wow what a transformation. I am so impressed and love the new mod fabric.
Great job!!!
I like Bernie’s comment! Any dress makers out there? Thanks everyone!
Simply beautiful.
Molly bought the fabric from Roberta Roller Rabbit where I work and she is a SUPER talented upholsterer. I am going to have her do my old chairs :-)
Another great before & after – love the fabric!
PS – Roberta Roller Rabbit has lots more fun, fabulous and reasonable fabrics! Call me for my info: 212-772-7200 :-)
I am in love with the print on this chair…absolutely fabulous!
Fantastic! C’est manifique : )
lovely chair with great bones and with the new fabric its diiiiiiiiivine!
Great job! Especially the matching of the fabric at the lower edge of the chair. I would have liked plain piping on this one.
Fresh take on a trad chair.
Oh, this is so beautiful, I love that fabric!
I want this chair. Now.
the fabric makes this chair so friendly and inviting…how could you not want to it in it!?
sorry…typo-o in my post above, got a little overexcited…i meant, how could you not want to SIT in it!? :)
Unbelievably stunning! What a good eye you have!
WOW! incredible!
Fantastic! I want that easy-chair!
