Reupholstering an old chair, couch, or cushion can give new life to some of your old pieces of furniture. Chairloom is a Pennsylvania-based company that specializes in the “eclectic antique revival” of antique chairs and couches. You can purchase reupholstered and revived pieces on their website catalogue, or contact them about revitalization of one of your own pieces. The company appears to have a love for bright, bold and beautiful fabrics – me too!– and the result is gorgeous vintage furniture with a modern twist.
