DRAMATIC RESCUE WITH DROP CLOTHS

Take a moment to absorb the exquisite horror of these 80's swivel tub chairs...
from the decomposing polished cotton SHIRRED upholstery to the little "decorative" swivel mechanism. Seriously, what were we thinking back then? It was not a good decade for interior design. To their credit, they are made by Thomasville and still going strong on the inside. 




The owner wanted to use drop cloth fabric for slipcovers.  

Here they are now. I kind of feel like Oprah and could swear I heard one of them say "Thank you." 







For the record, I'm not a member of the drop cloth fan club, but when the pieces won't get heavy wear it's hard to argue with a $50 investment in fabric for two chairs. And I have to admit this pair looks marvelous!

  2. Agree with this article, very informative. We can make our Upholstery looks like new by just changing fabric. Fabric quality and colors are also very important. I have just visited Rana Textiles Mills website and found beautiful and quality oriented fabric for upholstery over there. You can Buy Best Upholstery Fabric from here.
