To re-upholster or not to re-upholster, that is the question. If I were really going to use the chairs (personally, I don't have enough space for any more in the livingroom) I'd get them re-upholstered in a fabric that fit my style & taste. But if I were going to sell them anyway, I'd sell them as-is and let the buyer select the fabric. I've had almost all of my upholstered furniture re-covered at least once. One chair is on about the 5th re-upholster-- once it was a bilious green, another time it was a big floral print, and now it's a plain kinda-gold color.

One of my problems is that I just move stuff from one place to another, without really finding a home for it. Now my diningroom table is cleaned off, but I have a growing pile hidden upstairs in the spare room. I plan to use Labor Day weekend to do some heavy-duty cleaning. At least I'll be able to get past the I-can't-have-company-in predicament, as long as I close the door to the spare room.
