Live Sustainably contest - don’t buy it, REPAIR IT
For the «Don’t buy it -MAKE IT OR REPAIR IT» contest initiativ by @livesustainably, I want to present something I love: upholstery. I repair and upcycle old, tattered chairs - chairs that a lot of people would deem suitable only for the landfill.
In the following photos I will present some of the work undertaken for one of my recent upholstery projects.
Tired, old chair
The chair was stripped down, and given new padding
Many layers of new padding
Many different types of padding
The legs and armrests were sanded down and new finishing oil was applied
The chair was given a new fabric
Finished!
Wow this is so Amazing!!!! You do really great work @lil-mich! Welcome to #NeedleWorkMonday!! We are so glad you have joined us!!! I love seeing projects that involve restoration and recycling!!! I love the new fabric and the added buttons to the chair. I also love the color of the finishing oil and how it brought the legs to life!
Looking forward to seeing more of your work! Thank you for sharing this week! 😃
