Icing on the cake!

Fabric choice matters...


Upholstery is an Investment
(hmm, that sounds familiar)

...and because it is, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you select a quality, durable upholstery fabric - whether you find a fabric through me or elsewhere. Did I mention, that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND a quality and durable upholstery fabric...

To that end, I offer fabrics from 2 of my favorite suppliers that range in price from $38.00 - $85.00 per yard.  Are there less expensive fabrics out there? YES!  Are there more expensive fabrics out there? OH YES! But, in my 17+ years of doing upholstery and working with fabrics, I have found that this price range with these vendors offers the highest quality and durability for the price. And with the latest textile technologies, the best stain resistance available on the market today.

Having said that, it is also important to note the size and complexity of the project. A dining room seat that can easily be recovered (i.e. less labor cost), can take a less expensive, less durable and less quality fabric as long as you understand it may need to be replaced sooner rather than later. In contrast, using that less expensive fabric on a fully upholstered chair or sofa may result in disappointment, angry feelings and a few tears when it gets stained or torn within the 1st year. 

Ultimately, the fabric you select is always your choice and I will always deliver exceptional upholstery work on your project. 

Let's Shop Fabrics!

​​There are several ways you can shop for your perfect fabric.
  • We meet in person to look at sample books. This is my favorite way to shop with you for fabric because there is nothing like seeing the fabric in person and discussing the pro's and con's of each potential option. We can meet at your place or mine!
  • You can browse my 4 favorite suppliers online in the comfort of your own home (wine & PJ's optional)...
