The fabric for the nook arm chairs showed up last week and it was time to get some new pads made. I didn’t think the old ones being replaced was a necessity, but we figured that we should go ahead since we are already replacing the fabric.
Amber started out by pulling the staples off, the bottom of the chair. There’s Ramona trying to help. Then we realized it was 11:15 and the upholstery supply store that Jamie had recommended closed at noon. So, we left, with the fabric and pad still attached to the seat (In the end it didn’t seem to matter).
The place we went to get the new seat pads is called Keeton Supply Co. It’s upholstery supply shop near downtown fort worth. It sells pretty much everything you would ever need for an upholstery project.
I know the pictures aren’t too exciting, but I promise, to a crafty woman this place is exhilarating. While we were there Amber was getting all twitchy, I could tell that her inner craftiness was about to explode. She kept asking “Do we need ANYTHING else?” Which means: let’s think of stuff we want to do/spend money on.
In the end, we just got 2 seat pads, some batting and the 6/32″ piping for the chairs. (Side note: I kinda want one of those foam cutters that they use to cut the pads. Yes, I realize I have absolutely no use for one.) We got out of there for around $40.
The chair project is entering the completion phase. Let’s see if we can bring this baby home.
