Finally got the upholsterers out to pick up (and, of course, reupholster) the sofa and chair in the family room. The former is a sofa bed we bought a year or two ago, whose cushion fabric immediately split. The latter is a legacy of the in-laws’ living room, one or two redecorations ago, and has needed reupholstering for, well, over a decade (there are two mates to it upstairs in the bedroom, but they don’t get quite so much public view).
We actually bought the fabric in California back at, um, Christmas, but I didn’t get the reupholsterers called until last week. Still, eight month turn-around on a project like that isn’t bad for us.
The furniture is due back at the beginning of August. Meantime, we’ll need to pull a couple of chairs downstairs to camp out on. After we vacuum the couple-years-of-dust-and-debris that was under the couch (Kitten is in Daddy-Look! Hog Heaven). After we replace the filter on the vacuum cleaner …
Talk about timely!! If you’re happy with the service provided, would you mind posting the name of the company you are using here in Denver? I’ve been looking for an upholstery shop, but have not heard anything good about the few I’ve found.
Since I asked for recommendations from some colleagues, I’m more than happy to pass them along. The upholstery company is Lev’s Upholstery, (303) 988-8253. It was recommended very highly by the wife of our rector. I can’t speak yet, obviously, for the job they do, but the people I’ve talked to (Lev’s wife, who answered the phone, and Lev, who came out to pick up the furniture) have been helpful, courteous, and responsive thus far.
