This beautifully striped chair belongs to Mrs. Lou Cooper of Benton, IL

Here we see the reception area of Southern Illinois Dermatology in Herrin, IL. These chairs are done in the revolutionary Crypton and compliment the decore beautifully. In order to complete this job in a timely manner, Ted Howard of Howard's Upholstery was brought in. His patterning skills are quite apparent. Thanks Ted!

**************

This set of antiques belong to Dr. Ted Van Acker. They are handcrafted in leather , featuring buttontufted backs, self gimp, decorative nail, and an eye catching serpentine band. Center rocker is sans band. All new springs, 8 way hand tied construction. Not just beautiful to behold, but most comfortable to boot!

This settee, a part of the above set, was featured in the "Save My Seat" column of the Upholstery Journal Magazine, April/May 2008 issue.

**********************

This beautiful piece is a complete rebuild, even the springs were replaced. Done with the COM (customers own material), this is a work of art that will stand up to the test of time. Button tufting and low crown cushions keep this sofa true to its original design.

***********************

 

These 2 rockers are family heirlooms, stripped, refinished, reglued, all new springs, all new foundations and fills... and upholstered in a rich wine antiqued velvet. Rescued from a barn, they are now cherished by their family in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. These rockers, as well as all our rebuilt pieces, will provide years of enjoyment.

*************

This little cutie was completely rebuilt using Magnificent Faux Leather (vinyl). We eliminated the decorative nail, touched up the show wood and redesigned the channels for a sleeker, more modern look.

****************

Quality speaks in this sofa with its solid framework and intricate design. The front cap band extends from one side of the skirt all the way around to the other side. The inside arm pillows are attached to each other and to the corresponding right and left inside back pillow, adding dimension and stability to the back cushions. Lovely piece.

******************

A classic channel back, this one was redone with tradition methods using cotton filled channels.

**********************

Floral fabric and big throw pillows make this loveseat a romantic place to be.

*******************

 

 

The above three pieces were done in a coodinating chenille fabric. Rebuilt to last another 20 years. Good frames keep their value, making reupholstery a solid investment.
