Overall, the finished price of this piece is well under retail in my markets. Had I taken this on myself and invested my own money into the restoration, I would have priced it accordingly. However, I was able to save my client money and she was able to call the shots on the important things like fabric selection and stain color. I guess with any restoration you have to have a bit of flexibility on the final product, but generally, that's my job to pull the details together and present a gorgeous finished product you can enjoy for hopefully the rest of your life! The pieces I select for restorations are always something with significant design or collectability status but in reality, the sky is the limit if you are willing to invest in the piece.
I will be looking to pick up some more Pearsall items shortly that will all need complete restorations and I would love to coordinate restoration on them. Please keep me in mind when you are looking for something for your home! I would gladly source something for you that needs a makeover and follow through the process with you, advising you along the way. All custom restorations will require 50% deposit to start the work. If you have me purchase your fabrics for you, I will offer you my wholesale rates as well. Fabric is a tricky thing but I do have some sources for discounted close outs as well. It can be overwhelming! Definitely order a current JOYBIRD swatch kit before you start your search! This week I found a sale at Norwalk Furniture at $8/9 a yard for closeout fabrics they had available. I bought 15 yards of an orange I have earmarked for my Pearsall couch coming! $100 for 15 yards is INSANE! Even if I have to have the strapping and structure redone by the upholsterer, I will still be well under retail on the piece. And since it will be going in my own living room, this excites me a lot! hahaha You can see my current sectional in the pics above and I am so over it!!!! My husband loves it and has fought me about replacing it. I finally found a large 9' couch that I think will be great and we will even have room for a chair! <3 Here is the link to the NORWALK FABRIC SALE. Norwalk, by the way, had some great Mid Century offerings back in the day! They are still manufacturing furniture today!
