Starting today, I’m back blogging after a little break since the birth of baby James. He arrived the end of March and I have been soaking up every minute with him!
Today I am sharing with you a re-upholstery project. I did not tackle this myself, but found a great company in town who did a fantastic job. This chair and ottoman are in James’ nursery. I originally received these pieces as a hand-me-down from my aunt with a somewhat dated light blue fabric. Both were in great shape, the chair rocks and swivels and I thought would be perfect for baby James’ room. I wanted something bold and an adult friendly pattern so we could use into the future. As well as a design that could hide any baby spit-ups that would be inevitable!
I know the fabric may seem a little busy, but the room is big and most other items in the room are solid colors, so this is the one patterned piece in the room. So far, James and I are loving it!
What unique fabric! I love when people reuse items to create things that will last for years. Great transformation! Thanks for sharing

I would love to know the upholsterer you used. I guy I have used in the past is now retired and I currently don’t have another source. I’m also in the Richmond area.
Thanks!

Thanks for the positive feedback! Aimee, I used a company called Capital Upholstery. They are located in Hanover, just off Route 301. It was my first experience with them, but their prices were the best I could find and I was very satisfied with the work. It’s a very small operation, too, so I appreciated the personal attention. Let us know if you have a “Before” and “After” to share!

I think the fabric choice is perfect, I love the bold pattern and color. And I’m sure that James loves it too
