If your favorite chair is torn, if you’ve found a gorgeous but shabby armchair at the flea market, if your old sofa has worn out - then you need this book. "Well upholstered" shows how old furniture can be reupholstered. Step by step, Nicole Fulton introduces you to traditional upholstery craftsmanship and at the same time surprises you with a refreshingly modern interpretation: contemporary fabrics, unusual combinations and sophisticated embellishments turn period furniture into unique pieces that enrich your ambience with a personal touch. After a first part about fabrics, patterns, colours, textures and embellishments, there follows a comprehensively illustrated introduction to the basic techniques of upholstery. Lots of tips and tricks will help even beginners to get the tools they need to succeed with their own upholstery work. Using 18 projects of varying difficulty, the author then shows step-by-step how the transformation from old to new takes place: a late 19th-century upholstered armchair is re-upholstered in cocoa wool, a mahogany chair is reupholstered in sensual pony leather , a stool from the 1960s appears fresh in light green velvet. Finally, an address directory offers the ideal start in the search for the right fabrics, the ideal embellishments and the right accessories. - The work can begin!
