Saturday Upholstery Update

It is still Saturday even if it is currently 10:30pm.  I am exhausted and ready for bed, however I think it will be a few more hours till I get there.  Last night was once again upholstery class, so we packed up the chairs, fabric, burlap, foam, tools, webbing, and all the other paraphernalia and headed to JP. Unfortunately the head teacher got stuck in Florida due to the snow, so once again i was buttonless! So I set off to deconstruct my other chair. It was just as gross as the first!

but I managed to get it all apart much faster this time and fortunately this chair didn't need to be glued. Now I have two chairs with no seats or backs!

I am definitely ordering the buttons for next week.
Chris continued working on his chaise, and got all the springs tied in about an hour and fifteen minutes, which is apparently pretty quick.

After he was done with that step he started webbing the back and putting on the burlap. When he was all done he actually sat in his chair!

Doesn't it look comfortable?  
As for this weekend, my parents have taken the children down to the cape for three days. You would think that we would be relaxing and maybe having a romantic valentine's weekend. Nope, we are working on the kitchen! So stay tuned for a kitchen update.

    About Vallery...

    I live outside of Boston with my husband, two children, and dog. For the past 8 years I have been working with clients to help them make their home dreams a reality. From helping to build homes from the ground up to helping round out already finished spaces, I listen to my clinets and let their vision guide our process. I have always been a creative person planning spaces and working to make them function better. After completing the Residential Interiors program at Boston Architectural College I learned how to combine my love for funcion and flow with my eye for color, scale, and balance. As a graduate of New York University's Stern School of Business, I understand project planning and budget management. My experience working with clients, contractors, and architects helps to coordinate and streamline the home building and renovation process, helping my clients to have the home they dream of with less of the stress that comes with building and decision making.
