(Re) Made at 3rd Ward // Upholstery Upcycling

Erin Hathaway saw our magazine in a coffee shop and knew she had to take the Upholstery Class.
A landscape architect by day, Erin has sewn her whole life and wanted to use this class as a way to collaborate with her boyfriend, a furniture designer. Until now, the chair (bought for $20 in Erin's homestate of Kentucky) has been a scratching post for her cat. Now her retro chair has a modern look, her roommate doesn't have an eyesore in the living room, and Erin has a newfound passion.
The Before Shot. A chair desperately in need of love.
The chair is stripped, revealing the old, yellowing padding underneath
Newm comfortable batting cushion is added.
The new fabric is fitted over the back and arms.
Voila! From scratching post to living room centerpiece.
