My love for thrift store shopping all started when we first moved into our house three years ago, and I realized I couldn't afford to decorate our entire home with brand new furniture. I began searching for inexpensive ways to furnish our house, and soon learned just how many treasures were waiting to be unearthed at nearby thrift stores. I've transformed a lot of junk in the past few years....old dressers, tables...but my favorite is the chair.  Having zero prior experience in using paint or reupholstering furniture, I slowly taught myself (through trial and error) how to take a junky old chair and turn it into something worthy of using in my home. Today, I'll show you my 10 best chair makeovers, and hopefully leave you with a few ideas on how you can update any old chairs you may have laying around. This is my favorite and most recent upholstery project. I took an old $5 Goodwill piano bench transformed it into a lookalike of my favorite Ballard Designs bench. All it took was a little paint, some striped fabric, and about an hour of my time.




See the full story here.The Rocking Chair Makeover A friend of mine found an old rocker at a local estate sale and enlisted my help in painting and reupholstering it. The before and after is pretty drastic. Take a look here.The Striped Chair Makeover: This little blue striped chair was one of my favorite projects to date. My mom picked this up at a local thrift store and gave it to me to reupholster. I absolutely loved the way this chair turned out. You won't believe what it looked like before.The Stenciled Vanity Stool Project: For this project, I took an old, outdated, wooden stool and upgraded it with some pretty fabric and fringe trim. (I also stenciled and painted the vanity table!). See that story here. I found this little chair for $5 at Goodwill and totally transformed it using light blue paint (on the wood) and reupholstering the cushion with a tablecloth!! It turned out to be a great, really cheap alternative to upholstery fabric. I finished it off with silver nailheads.




I love this little chair. Months after I reupholstered it the first time, I decided to play with it again. But this time, I did something really different.....I took plain white fabric and painted blue stripes on it. Sanding the fabric (after the paint dried) with fine grit sandpaper was all it took to make this chair soft and comfy. See the full tutorial here.Green & White Trellis Chair This little chair is one of my favorite chair projects. The Ballard Designs Knock Off Chair: I was ecstatic to find this chair at a thrift store for just a few bucks. Especially when I came home and saw the exact same chair in a Ballard Designs catalog for $400! I gave this chair the same upholstery treatment as  I did the last one, only this time paired with a cute striped pillow! The Drop Cloth Chair Basically, I decided to follow the massive trend of dropcloth upholstery on this chair. And I fell in love. Soon See the full story of this chair here. Okay, so this one isn't a chair.




But, I love it so much that I'm including it anyways. To see how I upholstered my headboard with a dropcloth, visit this post.

You really get what you pay for with upholstery foam. The more expensive the upholstery foam / upholstery foam sheets, the longer the upholstery foam / upholstery foam sheets will last. You don't need high quality upholstery foam for a seating area that doesn't get used, while a sofa for watching "the game" will need top quality upholstery foams. Our experience has shown us that most upholstery foams / upholstery foam sheets will break in and soften up to about 20% over time—if under heavy use, after 6 months to 1 year.




Despite this warning we still don't recommend that you order the next firmer upholstery foam grade. If your upholstery foam is too firm, you may never sit in it and the upholstery foam / upholstery foam sheets may never soften. One way to construct a really long lasting upholstery foam cushion is to use our rebond upholstery foam. This grade of upholstery foam (rebond upholstery foam) has proven not to soften with time. Rebond upholstery foam has three times the quality and weight of other upholstery foams. You may need to make the bottom half of the upholstery foam cushions out of rebond foam and the top half out of softer upholstery foam to create the perfect comfort. In these circumstances, wrap the entire upholstery foam cushion in our polyester upholstery foam batting. Custom Cut & Sewing Service Because we do our own upholstery (custom cut upholstery, or just plain old upholstery), we have become a one-stop custom cut cushion paradise. Our professional upholstery can make any custom cut cushion look amazing.




Catering to your needs, we can make custom cut upholstery to fit your desires, including custom sewn upholstery foam, or just provide special upholstery foam in order for you to do your upholstery on your own. Upholstery here comes in a variety of options. You could even send us your own upholstery fabric and have us custom cut and sew it into a professional looking upholstery job. To send us your own fabric, see our custom sewing section. We offer upholstery and also run an upholstery supply store—Rostov Upholstery Supplies. Talk about upholstery galore! Originally springs, cotton, and horsehair were used in place of upholstery foam. From about the 1930s, upholstery foam was a natural latex-based (natural tree sap) upholstery foam called "pincore." In the 1960s, chemical polyurethane upholstery foam became the cushion norm. Chemical companies lobbied the California senate to require all upholstery components to pass flammability standards, and toxic flame retardant additives such as PBDEs were added to upholstery foam.




In 2005 PBDEs were outlawed, due to their link to breast cancer. Now most foam companies don't use those chemicals in upholstery or upholstery foam. They have switched to other chemical flame-retardants. Currently, because of this flame retardant requirement, upholstery foam is being sold all over the country with flame retardants. There is currently legislation that would change the requirement. For everyone's health, let's hope it passes. Our company roots are in upholstery foam and upholstery supplies since 1960.Nearly all furniture sold retail around the world is made using our "C" grade of upholstery foam. This is because this foam feels good when you test it and it has a much lower cost than the premium grades. The problem is this grade will wear out under regular use rather quickly. Consumers are basically tricked by the comfort of the sofa and within a short time find they need new upholstery foam cushions. Most upholstery foam sheets and custom cuts may be returned less a 25% restock fee.
