Nashville residents know a thing or two about style. Whether it’s rocking out on Broadway or relaxing with a sweet tea on the porch swing, Music City thrives on a unique blend of old and new. This applies to our furniture too! But what if your favorite chair is looking a little worse for wear? Here at JD’s Upholstery, we love seeing beloved pieces brought back to life. But the question remains: should you DIY, or call in the professionals?
The DIY Route: A Rewarding (and Potentially Frustrating) Journey
There’s a certain satisfaction in taking on a DIY project. Upholstery tutorials and blogs abound online, making it seem like anyone can reupholster that old armchair. For the crafty Nashvillian, this can be a fun and rewarding challenge.
However, consider these roadblocks:
- Tools and Materials: Tack removers, staple guns, upholstery fabric – the upfront costs can add up quickly, especially for a first-time project.
- Learning Curve: Mastering techniques like seam ripping, fabric cutting, and proper stapling takes practice. Mistakes on expensive materials can be costly.
- Time Commitment: Reupholstering a piece can take many hours, especially for beginners. Factor this in when considering your schedule.
