ReDone-ded [update 2]
Some photographs of the furniture that I'm re-upholstering for my house:
The originals stacked in a corner.
Cutting out the shapes for the wood bases that have splintered
Cutting (dangerously freehand) the vinyl to wrap around the back-boards
Stapling the fabric on the backboards - you can see where it was once red, then brown, now white
Nearly done... (one more photo to come)
From left: the newly re-upholstered chair, the chair that changed the colour game, and lastly, the nekkid chair.
Re Done Ded! One more chair to go tomorrow night, and then satisfaction for a job well-done. All for the low, low price of $35.
If you really want to be ngiau about it and count everything: - Upholstery fabric $20+$15 = $35
- Stapler gun = $12
- Staples (including wrong trial and error sizes) = $10
- Travel to get the upholstery = $23 (estimation)
- TOTAL = $60

It is finished!

Final touch was to cover up the screws with double-sided taped-on round upholstery material. Voila, c'est bien!Libellés : diy
