I have been in the upholstery field for about ten years now and have enjoyed it very much. I love salvaging antique pieces and restoring them back to their original beauty. When a piece cannot be restored, it is fun to paint and upholster the piece in fun fabrics. I have sold many pieces at occasional sales and home decor stores. My love of upholstery and fabrics led me to develop a website where I can sell fabrics and upholstery supplies. My website is www.jwupholstery.net

Re: Garden Bench
Great bench. Now I want to create one just like it. I'm sure your neighbor loves the bench and loves you for giving to her.

That is a really great ottoman. I am going to keep an eye out for something similar to the file cabinet when I go to garage sales in the spring.

I just started an internet business selling discounted upholstery fabric online. My site is www.jwupholstery.net. Let me know if you find something through one of my distributors. The chair will be really great when it is finished.

The lace over fabric is pretty. I may have to try it the next time I stumble upon an ottoman in need of re-upholstery.
