apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Cool, I made the accomplishments cut!

Took some pics before work this morning of the bookcase. I never got any before pics, but it used to be black, so it took 2 coats of primer + 2 coats of paint to cover it all up. This bookcase is actually a crate I found behind a deli a couple of years ago, actually, and the mirror was rescued from an old community hall last year and also given a lick of paint.

And I didn't QUITE get any before pics of my living room walls, but I did manage to get this shot halfway through slapping up some paint. I won't post anymore till the room is done:

I just bought a low, small swivel chair manufactured by Kroehler in 1960. It is in great shape, but I need to reupholster it. Does anyone know of a quality upholster in New York that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?
