I have watched many videos about painting upholstered furniture and am a bit skeptical (it looks scary). I’m hoping you may try some of these techniques and let me know which is best, or if they work or not.

Hi Diane! While I haven’t done a video on painting upholstered furniture, I have done a blog post which you can find here: http://checkinginwithchelsea.com//staging/the-armchair-reimagined/ I must say it leaves the fabric stiff and a little crunchy. So if you have a buttery-soft chair, it probably won’t still be soft once you paint it. I would still recommend it as a cheap and easy way to update an outdated chair or sofa, especially if you might re-upholster it anyway! ~Chelsea

Can’t believe you only spent $50! Truly a great upgrade for a very minimal budget. Looks fancy, and DIY-friendly. Great job, Chelsea!

Wow, Chelsea! I can do that! I shared it on Facebook with all my friends so they can try it. When I move into my next house, I can’t wait to put Board & Batten up! Thank you!

How easy is it to upholstery an arm chair?
Chelsea Lipford Wolf
Hi Dawn! I would not categorize upholstering an arm chair as easy! I’ve never done it before, but it seems very involved and time-consuming! I’m sure you could do it with determination and a good tutorial! ~Chelsea

Chelsea; 1st; Kuddos to you as an inspiration to all of us female DIY’s/renovators. My primary question is how do you smooth/finish off the rough edges of the pexiglass used on the coffee table? please add that to the video info.

Hi Edith! That’s a good question! It did not need any smoothing or sanding! There were no rough edges. Thanks for watching! ~Chelsea
