When my dear friend's son broke one of the chairs in her sitting area, I hatched a scheme that would allow me to try my hand at a little reupholstering.
I scoured the local thrift stores and found this little beauty:
Several hours, many staples and not even one swear word later, I presented her with this:
Now, let's not kid ourselves: it's not perfect. But, my friend cried when she saw it. And I count that as a success. I mean, who doesn't love trying something new and making a self-proclaimed non-crier shed some tears ?

NICE job! I have upholstered a few things in my time, and NONE have been this successful or difficult. Good friend.
Beautifully done!! You are such a nice friend!
It looks very nice : ). My question is, how did you know you could do this? I think about doing our couches someday, but would need to learn how before attempting it. Have you ever watched someone work on this type of project before, watched tutorials, or did you just dive in with no prior experience/instruction? Anyway, great job at trying something new, and succeeding : )!
I am impressed....and What a nice friend you are!
That looks so fun!
that does look fun - and therapeutic!
Awesome job!
You are amazing! Is there anything you cannot do?

Thanks so much -- Hugs!
It looks great. You're so awesome! I actually had a little business long ago doing reupholstery. Fun times remembered.
Seriously, girl, you're amazing. I love how you will tackle anything :)
