The classes were amaaaazing! And get this--i even texted the pics to the upholstery teacher! Lol. He said he liked them and that he is still offering classes. I'm going to sign back up to learn more techniques!
"Couple of years ago"!!! How has it been that long since your upholstery class videos? These chairs turned out beautiful, you really do have a good eye for pieces and colours 👍
I know, right?!?? That's how long it has been, and that damn wingback chair still isn't done! 😂 I will finish it, though. Maybe even try to make an ottoman for it, too. I can't believe I have been so slow with it. Lol
I was telling someone else here in the comments that I'll definitely finish! I think now that I'm in the mood to reupholster (and the weather is colder), I will focus on it. Thanks so much!!
Serena, you already know I pretty much enjoy all your projects. This purple velvet is off da hook!! And to be filling it while wearing Rec Buffalo Check PJ's made the color combo in screen pop!! And once all the brass tacks went back in was the icing on da cake. Great job as always, Merry Christmas & a Blessed Holiday Season to you & your Family. Dirty Jersey out!!
Hey Mike!! Haha, I'm glad my PJs weren't distracting! I usually try not to capture myself with jammies on, but hey--when you gotta work, you gotta work, right?? So glad you liked the chairs!!
Incredible job! I bought 4 living room side/dining chairs that are no where near as detailed lol but I have been too intimidated to try it. I fell in love with the shape. I just don’t understand how the back stays tucked in at the seat. Love to see detail on that
Absolutely gorgeous! Purple is my favorite color, and this fabric is stunning. I was getting anxious during the button tufting section - my goodness, that looks so hard! Beautiful job!
You are so welcome! I am still learning, too. Every project I do is a learning experience and I build onto what I already knew with new information. :) Thanks, Pau!
Dear Serena, have a lovely Christmas. Thanks for your energy, for be so honest, for give great tips, oh I am really so happy to find you this year. Cheers Serena🎉🎁🌺🎇🌷🎄🌈🍾🍷
Awww, thanks, Nora! I shock myself sometimes because I worry something won't work out, and then when it does, it feels like such an accomplishment. LOL. Glad you like them!!
Thank you, Nikkie!! Over the years I moved my favorite color palette from turquoise (which I still love, though) to shades of purple. It just feels soooo good looking at it. LOL. Glad you like it!!
Beautifully done. They would look beautiful with one on each side of the buffet. Used for important holiday dinner guests. Or, with a small table as a breakfast area in your master bedroom. That course you took on upholstery really must have been top notch. Tufted chairs are a major undertaking. You get five stars in my book. Thanks for sharing.
The fabric is drool-worthy, isn't it?! I have a huge Ethan Allen sofa that I picked up years ago from an estate sale for $100. I wonder how much fabric I would need to reupholster that with this fabric?!?!
Wow! the chairs turned out beautifully. I have the same project started but got scared and stopped. You have explained and demonstrated the process so clearly. You have given me confidence to go back in! Thanks. Love your channel.
They look professionally made! As some others have also mentioned, it was fun watching your video and EXTREMELY educational! Inspirational and interesting to learn of the techniques; your deconstruction process was very well thought out. Nicely done! 👍👍🤗🤗
Beautifully done! Thank you for the lesson. I have made many slipcovers but been intimidated by upholstery. "It has been done, it can be done!" Thank you. Merry Christmas🎄
A few years ago I got an entire couch like that except I didn't do all the pieces in the back I just one big piece of material and pop through the buttons and it turned out wonderful I like the wrinkles and it that was back in a time where we didn't have these fancy little crayon things that are put on the furniture legs and my grandmother taught me how to use crayon and do that and hit it with a blow dryer or heat gun or whatever and man it does the same job and they look absolutely marvelous by the way those are beautiful chairs I would pamper myself to sitting in such luxury
Excellent video! I just thrifted a beautiful vintage chair, it's orange crushed velvet for now but she'll be getting a purple/black gothic dressing room makeover!
Serena, they're beautiful. If you need a dust cover for underneath, it's the same as landscape fabric, something you probably already have in the garage (and it's a lot cheaper than buying it in the fabric stores).
Ahhhh, yes! I totally forgot that part! I wasn't even thinking about the dust cover since it didn't already have one. I might have some left over from the previous chair! Thanks, Kay!!
Me, too!! I have so much fun working on them (when things turn out!). Plus, with the weather cold, it's a great indoors project. Thanks so much, Dishauna!
Is there anything you can't do?! Tremendous project...but your always are. Howard's Restor-a-Finish works miracles on wood finishes, especially when used with 0000 (super fine) steel wool.
This came at a great time. A friend just gave me these same chairs. I was looking for a tutorial all over and couldn’t find anything. Thanks so much for sharing.
You did a phenomenal job ion those chairs. You remember all the things you learn in the upholstery class. I remember when you were in the class. Your mother is right not for kids. Those are grown up chairs you did Great in lining up the chair Tac nail heads. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Haha, "grown up" chairs! That reminds me of how my husband always asks me to buy "grown-up" snacks at the grocery store! Lol Thanks, Evelyn! Glad you liked them!
The chairs turned out amazing (and I personally love the purple velvet fabric)! Thanks for showing the steps and tips that made it easier for you. If I ever decide that I have enough patience to tackle a project like this, I will refer to this video.
Love watching you work in your cute pajamas! You did a terrific job and should be so proud of yourself! I can't imagine trying to cut and piece all those small pieces together and keeping track of what goes where! I use to sew alot when I was younger but there's no way I would attempt this! ... Here's hoping you have a Merry Christmas and great New Year!😀💗🧤🧣🧦🤶🎅❄️⛸️👼☃️🎄🇨🇦

Where did you buy your peel and stick flooring at for your basement
@@the_mega_mall
Love. I wish i could do
This came out really good. I cant tell it's a DIY project. Looks like they were always that way. I guess that's the goal right? lol
Agreed. Total artisan.
wow, that class you took awhile ago really shows. Those look so nice.
The classes were amaaaazing! And get this--i even texted the pics to the upholstery teacher! Lol. He said he liked them and that he is still offering classes. I'm going to sign back up to learn more techniques!

This was so fun to watch. Would love to see more videos of old wing chair. Loved that series!
I was telling someone else here in the comments that I'll definitely finish! I think now that I'm in the mood to reupholster (and the weather is colder), I will focus on it. Thanks so much!!
You are a champ. A project like this would make my brain explode!! Great job!! 👵
It is videos like this that helps me know my kids are normal. These are BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Whew! Yes, normal, although definitely destructive, even if not on purpose! Lol
Gorgeous chairs! Awesome job!
Thank you, Katherine!!
I’ve never seen tufting this way before.
Only with one piece of fabric.
Looks beautiful!
Gorgeous color. The chairs turned out so beautiful😍
fantastic work enjoyed the video!
WOW !!! FANTASTIC MAMA !!! 2 BEAUTIFUL NEW CHAIRS !!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND THE FAMILY....XXXOOO...
You rocked those chairs! They are absolutely gorgeous and your tips were great, too.
You did a fantastic job on those chairs, especially for a newbie! They looked store bought. Kudos to you!
They are BEAUTIFULLY done!

I'm subscribed to CHEST'ER, he has amazing techniques when it comes to tufting. Great job!
Oh my gosh my dream chairs. The purple velvet fabric is beautiful and perfect
I love the way the chairs turned out! Great job 🎄☃️🎅🏼❄️
Thank you, Michelle!!

Absolutely gorgeous! Purple is my favorite color, and this fabric is stunning. I was getting anxious during the button tufting section - my goodness, that looks so hard! Beautiful job!
Me too, Brenda! I was like, "Oooh, shoot, please let this turn out!!!"
"No picking at the upholstery tacks" LOL! Been there, done that! (I have 2 boys, 'nuf said!). :D
Serena, everything you do is always fabulous!
The chairs are beautiful. You did an excellent job.
The color/material is gorgeous 💜
Excellent job! I learned a lot from this video. Thank you so much for putting all of this together and sharing all your tips with us. :)
You are so welcome! I am still learning, too. Every project I do is a learning experience and I build onto what I already knew with new information. :) Thanks, Pau!
Wow! I learned some valuable tips here. Especially about the buttons and all of the little pieces sewn together first. Who woulda thunk?
They loook great!!! I think they look great in the dining room. They work with the wall color. And they look nice at the ends.
I tried reupholster a chair back in the 90s, it is Hard on the hands! The chairs look amazing 😄
Dear Serena, have a lovely Christmas. Thanks for your energy, for be so honest, for give great tips, oh I am really so happy to find you this year. Cheers Serena🎉🎁🌺🎇🌷🎄🌈🍾🍷
Absolutely gorgeous!! I'm so impressed by you, Serena!
Awww, thanks, Nora! I shock myself sometimes because I worry something won't work out, and then when it does, it feels like such an accomplishment. LOL. Glad you like them!!
Beautiful job. Looks like chairs that I would buy from a furniture store.
💓Love them & the colour is fantastic💓That colour goes with so many other colours to make a room pop💓
Serena! The chairs came out beautifully. I'm not usually a fan of color but the aubergine is really pretty.
Thank you, Nikkie!! Over the years I moved my favorite color palette from turquoise (which I still love, though) to shades of purple. It just feels soooo good looking at it. LOL. Glad you like it!!
💖💖💖💖💖 That Was Professionally Done, You Are Seriously Good ! 👍🏻👍🏻
Gorgeous! Absolutely......GORGEOUS!
First class job, these are beautiful. The colour is lush .
"No picking at the chair tacks" That had me laughing. I have a son who picks everything.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing such in-depth tips!
Love the Purple!!! Beautiful job.
I think they look really beautiful. Very inspiring!
You did a great job with this lovely fabric.
Your hard work paid off. They are gorgeous

I have chairs almost identical to those that need recovered and you’ve helped give me the encouragement I need to go for it!
