These dinning room chairs were covered with leather and trimmed with individual nail heads.

It has been a while since I have posted a job that involved setting and tying springs. Springs that need to be retied can be the source of a very uncomfortable seat. This can be a very time consuming process if done the right way. Many people will simply retie over the old twine to make the job go faster. I say thats lazy!  When I recieve a piece of furniture that needs spring work done to it, I pretty much take the piece down to the frame and build it back up again. My goal is to return the piece to the client the way it came out of the factory. This sofa has down cushions which makes it all the more important to have springs that are in good condition. With that said here is a little slide show…step by step of how this sofa was restored.

This was a tough job.  Not only was it tufted on the inside back and arms but it had a waterfall style skirt on it as well.  These types of jobs require alot of time and attention to detail. The fabric chosen for this chair also required a pattern match.

Before

This Martha Washington chair came straight to me from the refinisher.  As you can see the only thing on it was the old burlap.  This chair had to be built up on the seat and on the inside back.  This is a step by step photo gallery of how this chair was transformed into the beautiful piece it is now!
