The Inside Story

Have you ever wonder what goes inside your sofa? Why is it sinking and is it really value for your money? Here's a glimpse of the "inside story"... Story No 1 - Beneath the seat cushions This photo is taken off one of the sofa that we were assigned to reupholster. The webbing belt underneath the seat is responsible for the resilency and comfort of the sofa seat. A layer of foam is usually place over it. In this instance, the webbing belts are a bit too sparse and over time, the owner felt that the seat is sinking. To rectify the problem, we add a piece of material over the webbing belt before covering it back with the foam. This will gives additional support to the seat and eliminates the "sinking" feel that the owner has. Story No 2: Back of Sofa This is what we found when we stripped down this sofa. Or rather, what we cannot find. Back of frame is just like that - BARE. The sofa fabric is just stapled onto the wooden frame along it's per

Dining chairs - reupholstered

Check out these beautiful dining chairs! The original leather does not hold up well in this weather. And so the owner has chose to reupholster it, giving it a new lease of life. What is more interesting is the combination of 2 different fabric for the 10 chairs that they have. Well coordinated and definitely added more interest to the dining room! Good choice mdm :p (u know who u are) Bold prints in a striking black & white 100% cotton. A definite attention grabber! Match with a very practical black & grey coudroy. Definitely children friendly!

Check this out! From water hyacinth frame to fully upholstered sofa! Foams were placed over the arm to "smoothen out" the irregularities and wala! a mega transformation! BEFORE - Arms were prickly and not comfortable to lean on. Settee were too casual, more for outdoor patio use. AFTER - Need I say more? Sleek and Stylish ;p All Jazzed Up!!

Bay Window's cushions

Image
I've done many bay window cushions over the years, but especially like this one. This is for a baby girl's room. The fabric chosen matches so well with the floral motifs on the side. Of course, for those of you who opt for a softer approach, I have lots of other fabric to do so. Can even provide a thicker cushion insert and lots of toss cushions to coordinate.
