Reupholstering - Part 2

So... previously, I showed you my great grandmother's lovely chair and this suppppper pretty fabric that I picked out to reupholster it with. I'm still totally in love with it!!! 

I'm totally excited with how it turned out as well!
Dad found a great deal on a power electric stapler, because there is no way that I would have had enough pressure to squeeze the trigger on a staple gun enough times to get this chair done. 
So yayyy thank you dad for picking it up on kijiji!


-le gasp-  so pretty even in this messy state!

The back is done, as are the arms in this shot. 
Just working on the corners and making sure i get the cuts and tucks done properly.

The finished product!!!




Now i'm not a fan of the work that goes into reupholstering, I definitely couldn't do it day in and day out for a living, so kudo's to those who do as a profession!

But I am rather proud of the way this turned out.  I would definitely reupholster other furniture in the future if it's going to save me an arm and a leg in cost!

Let me know what you think!
