Hello AT,
I picked this couch up off the curb last night and I am thinking about doing the refinishing myself. However, I was wondering if the readers of AT could make any recommendations for an upholsterer in the LI/Metro NY area...

I wanted to find someone who would not only upholster but make brand new cushions for this piece? The existing ones stink to high heaven.
Thanks! Kimberly

Very reasonable, been there forever.
What curb where you walking by? Talk about great dumpster diving.
And don't forget to check for bedbugs!
Hah! Carol, that was exactly what I was thinking - I'd be wary to recommend any of my upholsterers until this thing checked out for bedbugs, lest my own work at their places be infected! ;)
Hah, you bedbug phobics, she does say NEW upholstery. The old ones stink (quote)
Anyone know a good one in Washington, DC?
Joe's Fabric Warehouse on Delancey in the lower east side. They have a huge selection of home furnishings fabrics and the price wasn't horrible. I found it easier to pick out the fabric there and do it all at the same time. Good Luck!
