Below
are Before and After Photos and Portfolio Pages of Sofas and
Loveseats!

If you have a comfortable
sofa that needs a face lift, or found a broken down garage sale piece that you
see potential in, take a look at some of the pieces we have restored beautifully
- and don't forget to look at the pieces that took on a completely different
look, in our Reinterpretation Before and
After page!
Upholstered Chairs can be seen on
the second page.

leather revived) visit our Leather
Restoration page.

are changing our format to PDF: please excuse our mess as we change our site.
