I have been using the professionals - master upholsterers - at Lee/Song's Upholstery in Norcross, Georgia, for over 10 years. They have the tools, talent and space to do wonderful work - none of which I have. I am very impressed by those who tackle this themselves and know they save a TON of money since upholstery expenses are by far my major furniture refurbishing expense.
To honor those with the inclination and the talent, I reviewed some recent blog link parties that highlight DIY projects and my pinterest boards where I try to "file away" some of the projects for inspiration -

| I t;hink this is a fabulous transformation. The neutral fabric and brass trim gives these chairs a whole new life - Our Lake Life Blog |
 |
| Painting the woodwork and adding this colorful fabric give this bench a whole new life. I think I could do this one myself - link to Better After Blog |
 |
| This blogger has at least four entries showing each step of the way in this complicated reupholstering project. I could not find the final - the "after" is number 4 - link to Pandoras Craftbox Log |
 |
| I like how this large-scale patterned fabric is laid on this modified Martha Washington style rocker chair - link |
 |
| This is clever - the look of the back is changed by omitting the back cushion - it looks more interesting this way - link |
 |
| Love this one! Four chairs - each with different numbers painted on the back! link to Georgia Grace and Grit Blog. I think I saw these chairs at a Scott's Antique Show in Atlanta several months ago. |
These are all fine examples of DIY upholstery work! I love them all!
