Welcome to the Repair & Restore Workshop
Her momma’s desk… oh the memories! All the old has been sanded away. The real wood is exposed and ready to receive the wood refresher. It’ll be just the facial I received yesterday. All the junk removed. Moisture added. Later a fresh coat of stain and polyurethane to seal the beauty.
Dad’s so silly! And he’s safety conscious. The dynamic duo of sanding madness.
We often hear a similar thought, “We’ve had this in the basement for years. We wanted to have it fixed, but didn’t know who could do it?” Cheer House Repair & Restore - we’re here for you!
Buttons, buttons, and blue be gone!
She’s looking better already. The old has been removed. The wood is being restored. Next … new cane!
Garnet and Gold pinstripe beautifully updates the button front chairs of old.
We’ll turn these blues into golds…
I’ll take it back - Redeemed
This chair was a throw away… until she got her brand new cane seat. A great cleaning, some polish and freshly installed cane makes a world of difference.
Her mother’s chair. She remembers her mom sitting in this chair at her desk. She and mom will be reunited one day, but until then she has mom’s chair repaired and restored. Great memories. A new look. Smile!
From orange… to luxurious purple in no time at all…
My first re-upholstery project - June 2018
My Old Quiet Time Chair - Resurrected
This old faded plaid chair is my beloved quiet time chair. Oh if this chair could talk…
I didn’t want to give it away or sell it. It’s the “just right” chair, but visually unappealing.
I contacted several reupholstery referrals. All very kind and highly recommended, however, I could not afford their services.
And then I contacted a long time friend and previous Bible teacher. Rumor had it she was reupholstering furniture as a hobby in retirement.
Bravely, timidly, I asked… could I help you renovate one of my own chairs? Could I be your apprentice?
Strip off the old tired fabric and look - she’s got good bones!
And then we learned to weave cane - August 2018
