Giving this outdoor swing lounger a much-needed upgrade with Pifertex Plus Dupioni Poolside Blue! 🧵

The original fabric didn’t hold up, so we’re replacing it with a durable outdoor sling fabric designed for comfort with or without cushions.

Inspector Gigi stopped by to supervise. 🐈‍⬛🐾

Inspector Gigi wants you to know that we are your pre-furred upholster in Sussex County.

These two MCM dining chairs are ready for their makeover. The original vinyl has definitely seen better days. What do you think of the fabric, should it be horizontal or vertical?

One more chair saved from the landfill.

This wingback chair came to me with fabric that was literally falling apart. After a complete reupholstery and new decorative nailhead trim, it’s ready for many more years of use.

I love projects like this because they prove that good furniture doesn’t have to be thrown away just because the fabric has failed.

If you have a favorite chair that’s seen better days, it might be worth saving.

A few recently finished pieces.

Just wrapped up this antique, family heirloom footstool.

Before & After? Not always.

Sometimes the original fabric is too damaged to use as a pattern, the foam has collapsed, and the piece has been in the family for generations.

This footstool belonged to my grandmother’s grandparents. The original upholstery was beyond saving, so it received new foam, custom welt cord, decorative tack trim, and fresh fabric while keeping the character of the original piece.

We’re currently taking on small upholstery projects including:

• Dining chair seats
• Footstools and ottomans
• Bench cushions
• Accent chairs
• Cushion and pillow covers
• Pet damage repairs
• Fabric replacement and updates

Located in Sussex County, Delaware.

Feel free to message me photos of your project for a free estimate.
