🎥 Today, we’re diving into the history of this Queen Anne style sofa as we take it apart for restoration. One of the most fascinating aspects of vintage upholstery is the use of horsehair as a filling material!

🐴 Commonly used in furniture from the 19th century to mid-20th century, horsehair was prized for its durability and springiness, making it ideal for lasting comfort. Now, it’s time to give this piece new life while honoring its past! ✂️✨

✨ Part 2: Family Restoration Continues ✨

After the sofa, it was time to tackle these two channeled-back armchairs! The last upholsterer had left the old, stinky fabric and foam underneath, so we had to strip it down and start fresh.

But this time, it was a family effort—my grandmother watched, my mom helped with the sewing, and of course, the dogs had to get in on the action. 🐾❤️

There’s nothing like restoring family pieces with family by your side! Swipe through to see the transformation.

This sofa has been waiting *decades* for its makeover, and I finally got to be the one to bring it back to life for my mom. ❤️
