AT reader Katzies was kind enough to take some before and after snaps of her chair reupholstering project and send them to us. We think the chair turned out absolutely beautiful, and the amazing thing is that Katzies had never upholstered anything before! Her secret (and after shot), after the jump!

From Katzies:
"When working on a chair re-upholstery project, I relied on a book by Nicole Fulton titled "New Upholstery". The instructions from the book are clear enough for me to reupholster a chair with tufted buttons. And I never did upholstery before! I put the pictures of before, during and after here.
You can find simple upholstery tools at Fabric Outlet on Mission and 17th, and at Cushion Works on Mission and 18th."
Thanks, Katzies!

Nice work on that tufting! I can't believe this is your first upholstering project! The finishing looks so polished and professional. And your choice of fabric color and style looks great too!
