Reupholstery Saves Trees

Image
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....

Leather to Fabric

Image
Over the years, I've seen many leather upholstery peelings and cracking within a short period of time. Some even as fast as 2 years from purchase. This could be due to the humidity of our Singapore's weather.  Jazz it Up will be able to reupholster with leather. However, I often discourage, especially with the smaller items. Nothing against leather and I can still do it if that's what you really want.  It's just not very cost effective to do so.. Basically unlike fabric that can be purchased by the meterage, leather are sold by the hides. Literally, you buy the entire cow even though you only have a small chair.  And with each hide, only about 60% and if you are lucky,  80% of the hide are usable. Wastage are high and unavoidable.  Last but not least, I always find fabric, with its various textures, prints and colors more appealing.  This armchair is a good example.  Leather on seat are cracks and peels Big blue stripes in heavy...

DYNAMICS IN STRIPES! NEED I SAY MORE?

Image
 Made a statement in lime green & taupe stripes. All stripes may be too busy for six dining chairs together. So instead we added solid prints to the sides to tame it down a notch.  Need some stripes for your furnishing? Call Jann at 97473298 or simple email photos of your upholsteries to jazzitupbyjann@gmail.com for a ball park quote.  PS: I am on whatsapp too!
