SWEET BEFORE AND AFTERS!

So I finished my upholstery class, and now I can strip a piece, make 8 way hand tied springs, hand tuft, make the buttons, and refinish that puppy so it's better than new! I am loving it!! I guess now I can say I am officially a skilled laborer!! Hah! Our instructor was like an upholstery nazi I swear! If it did't look exactly right, he'd make us take it ALL apart and re-do it. It was tedious. It definately was interesting to learn though, and I have at least five other peices just waiting for me to redo!

AS I was taking this thing apart...

The foam was so old inside it that it had turned to powder! We had to vacuum it out!!
This is the final result! I repainted the wood to an antiqued pea green color, with a little glossy finish. And my fabric is a soft velvety fabric with a rose embossed pattern.
