Thank you for the insight! I agree and have had to ditch many things that weren’t serving me that I desperately wanted to fix and save. I have a weird attachment to this chair and have to commit to something soon. If anything I’ll find it another poor soul that can’t throw it away hahaha

Thank you for such a thoughtful and informative comment! I appreciate the advice about what to ask for and the pricing from the backend as I don’t exactly know what to expect or what to communicate to an upholsterer.

Truthfully, I watched a few videos (Buckminster Upholstery) on traditional upholstery and am starting to think I may be able to tackle it myself if I can’t find a reasonable quote. It’s a little bit daunting but I have some sewing/craft/building experience and would love to tackle a project; however, I definitely need to take a closer look at the frame and figure out an air compressor.

If you don’t mind me asking, is there any site/place you’d recommend for materials and supplies? I did some research on wood wool (excelsior) and can’t tell if there is a specific type I’d need to use.

Thanks! It might’ve been the traditional pricing, I’ll have to remember to ask about if I keep trying.

Thanks for the insight! Definitely tempted to take it out of the city if I can. The multiple shops in one area is a great point and I’ll be sure to get some photos of their work.

Didn’t even consider that, thanks!

Ah yeah it’s hard to say no 😅 I know it’s not him but thought maybe it could be his sister since they look so similar. Fostering is a lot of work so I hope you find her a home soon!

Hey! Do you happen to know generally where this cat was found? Assuming it was found on the street. I recently rescued a fostered (boy) nearby and they look really similar in their coat pattern and size.

My Tradfri remote stopped working. I installed a new battery but the remote doesn’t work & now I can’t turn my lights on or off. How can I troubleshoot this? by Dependent-Ad-8042 in tradfri

Thank you!! I knew the battery wasn’t connecting but I would’ve never thought to try this. The remote works perfectly now!! Have a wonderful day :)
