Before n After

Remember the work in progress that I mentioned in my previous blog. Recognise it? The one that had a "bent arm" This was before we operated on it. Of course when we detected that, we had it replaced. And since it was only a slat, we did it at no extra cost to the client.

This is the "AFter" results. Note the nice "bun" feet that is wrapped in the same fabric. It gives it a real Southwestern feel to it.

CHOOSING A SUITABLE FABRICS FOR YOUR SOFA

Choosing a fabric for the sofa is a little more taxing than choosing a new dress at the shop.   You are not able to try it out in the fitting room. With so many available choices these days, it can be pretty overwhelming; especially when u are only given some sample swatches to look at.   So I hope these tips will help “ease the pains”and make your selection a breeze..   100% Natural fibres  or Synthetic Fabrics With our hot and humid weather here in Singapore, cotton definitely provides a cool respite and is one of our more popular choice here.  However, cotton being cotton is also very absorbent and are prone to creases and shrinkage.  If you are using it for a removable covers and plan on washing it often, I will advise making it a size bigger to allows shrinkage. Being absorbent also means absorbing all stains quickly!  So preferably choose one that is treated with some kind of stain protector. Linen and silk are more delicate and I will not recomm...

Sofa Reupholstered!

 Time and again we came across sofas that had seen much better days and being discarded by the owner. But most time, its just cosmetics damage. Frames and structures are still solid. There's no reason to just write it off as trash.  With some TLC from our skilled upholsterer, it can be restored to its former glory and be of good use for several more years.  Here's a good example of one that we recently have the honour to reupholster. It was a 2 piece leather sectional that had served the family well.  To be precise, for 13 years. Their children practically grew up on this sofa.. scratched marks, spills and shifted foams... no longer a pleasing sight to look at. it was left out at the porch while a brand new purchase took it place.  But the owner felt that despite that, it can be restored, reupholstered and put to use again as a second sofa in the house.  Here's the transformation...  The leather had peeled, exposing the fibre ply underneath.  The ...

 On the same subject of Reupholster to Save Trees, Jazz it Up is once again very honoured to reupholster this same chair and long ottoman 3 times over the span of 15 years. Each time to keep up with the changing colour scheme and to coordinate with the new sofa the client had recently purchased.  I do not have photos of the original fabrics but I do remember it was a plain fabrics with no prints.  It was back in 2013 when she first approached us to reupholster these 2 pieces. Reupholstered in 2013 with this Chinoise print   More colours are needed. So in 2016 we had reupholstered with this lively turquoise geometric prints.  And once again, now in 2020, owner is on the move again. She has also acquired a new sofa in a cheerful turquoise blue.  But the chair and ottoman no longer match. Too much blues. We needed a fabric in a different tone but yet able to compliments the new sofa.  So with some careful considerations, she has settled for this woven pri...
