Reupholstery Saves Trees

Yes, Recycle, Reupholster and Reuse! This is one good reason why my esteemed clients had come back to me more than once to have the same sofas and chairs reupholstered with us. Over the years I had seen the same sofa or chairs reupholstered a second or even a third time over a span of 20 years. And with some nips and tucks, some new inserts and a new cover, the sofa is good as "new" and many trees saved! I applaud these clients for their efforts in keeping our Earth green and of course for their continuous support and trust in Jazz it Up. I am truly and very appreciative. 

Here's some of the sofas and chairs that we have the honour to be given the chance to reupholster not once but twice and even thrice over the years. 

We reupholstered this chair with the oceanic print 8 years ago. It was a refreshing change from the otherwise dull fabric before. However, wear and tear began to show.  Paint on arms had chipped. Foams on arms and seat worn. Time for a second make over. 

Chair now fit for a Queen!  Initially owner wanted to repaint the entire chair with the same silver colour. However, my carpenter advised against it as this silver paint (originally from Italy) is not available during this pandemic time. No shipment from Italy and the only  available in the market now is from China and he had some negative feedback about this paint from fellow carpenters.  So instead he offered to clean up and touch up just the defective section and make it good for the time being - all at no extra cost to a repeat customer.  Meanwhile our upholsterer had stripped off old covers, add new paddings and reupholster this chair with a rich blue velvet rightfully named Peacock that is so lush to touch that once sat on, you don't want to get up from it. 

Blue and butterfly print was indeed stunning before. But wear and tear over the years had dulled it and its time for a new chic makeover. 

This time round we completely strip off the paint and repaint it with matt black. Carefully selected prints and trimmings in contrasting shades adorned the chair and give it a new look. 

Now its not just armchairs, we reupholster sofas as well.  And in this case, this is the 3rd time we are reupholstering this batch of upholsteries. First time about 18 years ago, second time round about 9 years ago and this time again in 2020. We had over the years replaced the seat foams and backrest inserts. Reinforced base as required.  These sofas are now good as "new" once again. 

So instead of sending it to the dumpster, do give reupholstery a chance. Send us photos of your sofa or chairs so that we can give you a ball park quote for your consideration. You may email photos to jazzitupbyjann@gmail.com or whatsapp Jann at 97473298 .
