Another kind of Makeover ( I )

This post is not to do with Makeup and the face. However, I am so pleased with these two Makeover jobs for our home that I would love to share my experience with you.

Two of our favourite pieces of furniture bought at the time of our Wedding were a Chair-and-a-half and it’s matching ottoman. Both are large enough for two persons sitting side-by-side but smaller than a love seat, great for snuggling in front of the TV. They were on our Bridal Registry, purchased by our thoughful friends, and have been enjoyed for 6 long years.

After moving house twice, the colour became a problem. They were green. It matched the setting of our first house, but not our current one. The chair itself is structurally sound, the fabric is still holding up with only a tad of fading. We looked all over for a chair of this size for replacement, but they were hard to find. On the recommendation of my sister-in-law, we phoned Canadaupholstery.com for a price-quote. We have seen their store in Vancouver before, but dared not use their service until we had seen what a marvellous job they did re-upholstering my sis-in-law’s sofa.

The process was smooth and hassle-free thoughout. Dennis showed up with all of his fabric samples, gave us advice on what might work better, offered a very reasonable quote right away and picked up the chair and the ottoman. Five days later, the two pieces came back in stunning suedie new-look. The workmanship was great and the material looked even better than the sample. They also added stuffing and threw in a couple of new cushions. Pick-up and delivery were free. No deposit was required and we paid by cheque. We were so happy that we decided to re-upholster our 10-year-old sofa bed as well. Dennis took it as he left, and after three days, we got our sofa bed in the new matching fabric!

Dennis of Canada Upholstery was courteous, professional, and a real delight to work with. We never thought our sofas could look not just new again, but better than when they were new.
