About The Upholstery Lady

The Upholstery Lady specializes in custom made cushions, curtains and upholstery for over 15 years in the Richmond, VA area.

My company is a job per job service, meaning that I take on only one job at a time until it is finished. I do all the work myself and pay great attention to what the customer wants and make suggestions for what the customer needs.

With a certificate in interior design, I can help those that have a hard time ‘matching things up.’ I give progress reports so the customer is not wondering what is going on.

  • What are the most frequent questions you get from customers? What are the answers?

  • How did you get started?

  • I taught myself how to reupholster by reading books and experimenting on my own furniture first, I found that I really enjoyed the process of working with fabrics and different pieces of furniture, started telling friends and family of my services, then started advertizing...
