Upper Canada Upholstery

Even though I've now moved from Scarborough to the Kawartha Lakes region of Ontario, when friends offered a beautiful antique couch and chair to us, I packed it into our trailer and drove it to Upper Canada Upholstery so that Keith could work his usual magic.

This matching set is probably slightly older than 80 years, and has gorgeous carved wood accents on the vertical face of the arms, and across the bottom-front. The fabric that was on the set was a salmon-coloured satin-like material, which, while in very good condition, was faded and not a match for our other furniture or our 'country' lifestyle.

I chose a durable faux-suede from the extensive selection of samples and the results Keith achieved were astounding. These two pieces of furniture never fail to get positive comments when friends and family visit. Keith knows his stuff, and has great knowledge and respect for old, well-constructed classics like these two beauties.

Thank you, Keith. I'll see you again next time I have a piece of furniture in need of a make-over!
