I’m impressed, they look way more classy now!

@cinder8290 2 года назад

My husband loves my decor style, vintage cottage, but he also loves his 15 year old leather Lazyboy. We spent a lot to get a super comfortable one. I’m not decorating just for myself and my friends to look at, this is my husband’s home too. So I have learned to be happy with what causes him to enjoy relaxing in our home. I really like our living room and I get great comments from men and women. They say it’s cozy and very nice. Btw, Sarah I love the chairs that you have shown us, they’re really beautiful.

@danieldotson528 2 года назад

Looks really beautiful! My husband is content with whatever, if it means I'm not spending money, but at the same time, he loves the old lawyer's library look. He would just die if I put this together for Christmas- wouldn't that be incredible to see those for the first time on either side of a victorian Christmas tree? Just beautiful!

@SheHoldsDearly 2 года назад

That would be a great surprise! I hope you can pull it off!

Oh thats a BEAUTIFUL and thoughtful Christmas gift for Hubbies! They are so hard to buy for too so such a great idea!

@gailfails8819 2 года назад

My husband is okay with whatever I do, he's always so supportive. After seeing your video I decided to order the recliners and shoe polish!! The casters are sold out but I'll look for something similar. You did a beautiful job!!

@gracec6485 2 года назад

Those came out quite lovely. I might consider doing that on a thrift store leather reading chair. My dad has a large recliner from Lazy Boy thanks to my brothers who bought it for him something my Mother could not argue. But I know she did not like it since it was bulky in their small living room. And he still has it and they are still married! 🙏🏽

@herekittykittykitty475 2 года назад

Ha! Yes I've used shoe polish to cover up cat scratches on leather but also on furniture too. The edges on my dining room table get scratched when they jump up and day before a party I wax the table with regular furniture wax and then touch up the scratches with black. I use a soft shoe polish brush to shine the wax up after it dries. Your chairs look wonderful! Thank you for being our guinea pig!

@patriciademartino862 2 года назад

The recliner struggle is real. You two did a beautiful job! Stressful moments, no doubt. Having a partner skilled with tools is invaluable! Enjoy and thanks for sharing the process.

Your video came at the perfect time for me. This is what I’ve been researching for 2+ months. I need a recliner for me. My husband loves his lazy boy big fat overstuffed recliner. Found several smaller ones I love on wayfair but the leather looks too bright. Now I know how to change that thanks to you Sara. Shoe polish-who knew?!

@---wu3qj 2 года назад

Thank you so much for this video! My husband has always wanted a recliner, and just turned 70! I think it is time, and you’ve helped me a lot.(:

@marilynwoodard7961 2 года назад

I love how this turned out. I would have been terrified to take shoe polish to a brand new piece, but it sure paid off. They look much more luxurious and high end now than when they came out of the box!

@barbaraperry6970 2 года назад

Sara, you are amazing! Those chairs look very expensive after your makeover! And thank you for addressing the issue that we all (or almost all) are dealing with 😊

@doloresrose371 2 года назад

Yes, men love recliners! Yours came out beautifully! Good job!

@krismatson2137 2 года назад

Totally a discussion at our house. When we bought new couches my husband picked out a recliner but I made sure it was a smaller profile one that wasn't so ugly and puffy as most. He has back issues so really needs something comfortable to relax in. Yours turned out beautiful!

@janetduos1852 Год назад

Omg! That’s what my husband just asked for! I again talked him to getting the Leeds top grain chair with the casters, I just ordered it and waiting for the leather chair to come in! But I do have a fireplace in my dinning room so maybe he will get his dream chair!?!?! But I just can’t understand, but must be a man thing!!! Lol I saw those chairs while looking! I love the Leeds chair because it looks likes it’s been around for years! I too have an old home, but also tired of cream sofa and changed it out for a velvet sofa, I love my velvet because it’s so easy to clean lil spills, and you never see where you just cleaned, I take a fabric brush and run it over the velvet after, and vacuum it once every two weeks! But now waiting for my beautiful leather chair

@janetsways4176 2 года назад

I may be the only woman alive who wants a recliner. In all fairness it helps me so much with my lupus and other health issues. I love these chairs, they look like there’s a actual place to rest your head. I’m 5’10” and feel like Gigantor in most of the “pretty” recliners. The other issue with the “pretty” recliners is ease of use. Many times they are stiff, way too firm, and too small. My current recliner has a handle on the side that allows me to bring up the feet without much strain on my body, I don’t see this feature on these chairs. How does your husband like them? BTW I love the tips for transforming them to a more worn in look. Thanks for sharing!

@realgirl2704 2 года назад

Only a young person would ask “You have to have recliners?” Yes, my dear. People need recliners at a certain time in life. Not everything is about appearance. However, they are very handsome!

@irisstormo6913 Год назад

My husband had to have a recliner. I said ok as long as I could chose one that I could learn to love. Well I did it! I found a beautiful Lazy Boy wing ack that cost about $1500 new. I got ours at Salvation Army for $50. He's happy and I love it. Win Win! 🌺❤🌺

I scored 2 matching leather reclining club style chairs (in that beautiful deep brown) on FB Marketplace. Looked up original value $2k EACH! Got the pair for $150! Best deal ever! Comfortable, good looking, easy to clean PLENTY of life left in them! 🥰

@claybakin2478 2 года назад

Thanks for yet again one more great video! What an amazing transformation! They’re gorgeous! We found a lovely brown leather recliner for my hubby 10 yrs ago. It has great style, not at all puffy but still very comfy. It has a high back for his tall frame, no ugly handle on the side, and brass studs! I wish there was a way to post a photo here. I doubt its available now but if I can find the specs I’ll post them. One negative, I’ve repaired many a small hole in my sheetrock from placing it too close to the wall in my tiny living room. I finally found a location where thus far this isn’t an issue. But adding the wheels to the legs! Great idea and I may try it!

@terrizimmerman5297 2 года назад

As senior citizens, my husband and I love our recliners, and hated leaving our last one when we moved! It didn’t take us long to realize, we needed to get a new one! Can I tell you, the search was a long one and they are so expensive. We ended up buying a set of gently used Flexsteel couch and loveseat. Now the search for a single recliner! Our guests always want their recliners too! What a great video and customization of your family’s seating compromise! They are gorgeous! Great project Sarah, and thank you again for a fun episode.

@simplegiftsandtruths8263 Год назад

I'm guessing using a leather conditioner would also help with longevity for the chairs. They turned out lovely.

Recliners... I found 2 really nice chairs that recline from Lazy-Boy Furniture (Canada)...they have legs/feet and do not look like recliners... they are beige fabric... they are the push arm ones...so no 'crank' on the side, which is a giveaway! Then we bought also, a beige leather sofa, which either end reclines...they are an electric push button, very small...barely see...and has a USB port on either end as well!

@anitatucker8812 2 года назад

Oh Sara they are beautiful. It's been a problem in our house too my husband wants a recliner. If I could do this I would love it. Thanks!

@debbiesmith526 2 года назад

It’s funny how a recliner is so important to a man! I guess it’s their way of having a say in the decor. My husband is the same way! Thank you for the tips. You make decorating less stressful!

@BobbiMac08 2 года назад

I didn't see this when you posted but the timing is perfect! We are having a garage sale and I want to get rid of the big recliner husband uses. It just takes up too much space in our little house but he HAS to have a recliner. 🤣 I've been in the hunt for a beautiful leather one just like what you show!

@shelly3343 2 года назад

I love them!

@jillbruce3624 2 года назад

Absolutely love them. Our recliners are way too big, but I don't want fabric because they are used so much. The sleek shape of these is just perfect and your technique with the shoe polish is so doable. Would not be able to have the casters because of the difficulty but may check into other leg choices with perhaps a work around. Do you think I can pull off a good look with a cream colored slouchy couch? I love the English/French Country look. Thanks for sharing your ideas and talents with all of us.

@elbowgreasepaint7029 2 года назад

@annanorth7997 2 года назад

It's not just the recliner, but all the "must have close" junk that surrounds his recliner. I've tried pretty baskets, but he never uses them. Quite a few of my friends are widows so I try not to get too crazy about the ugly recliner corner.

@christinamarquez9199 2 года назад

What about transfer color on clothes? Would a warm summer day cause the polish to be easily transferred off on clothes?

@janetsways4176 2 года назад

Not if it gets buffed in.

@SheHoldsDearly 2 года назад

We haven't had any color transfer! We really worked the polish into the leather (using the three different steps) to avoid it, and so far it's working!

@cherieannese1132 2 года назад

If you've ever polished up a pair of shoes you normally SMOTHER the shoe in shoe polish (... ok... at least that's what I did as a child to polish my Brown leather school shoes (I'm in Australia and school uniforms are the norm here and mum would get us to polish our own scuffed up leather school shoes (that she usually hoped would last the year) before term at least - kids are HARD on shoes!) Anyway, you SMOTHER on the show polish with a show polish brush, rub rub and rub and brush it in to that leather and then you grab a cloth and wipe off all the excess and rub rub rub rub until it is all either soaked in to the leather or off on the cloth. There is really no residue left behind. So I probably wouldn't be game enough to sit on those chairs in white jeans on the DAY you polish them, but, a week later they really should even be white jean friendly. The trick really would be that once you think you are done to go over the chair with something like an old white cloth diaper or towel and REALLY rub and polish after you think you are done and you will find any polish that has not been rubbed in enough.

@blkbrn1952 2 года назад

I finally broke down and let my husband get a recliner, of course I hate it. Yours are really nice. But the kicker is he never uses it now that we have it, however if I mention getting rid of it he suddenly remembers how much he likes it.

@annetteelder-clark505 2 года назад

Well, look at you and your lovely recliners. Great ideas. Like others I worry about the shoe polish transferring to apparel during hot weather. I have a 30 year old leather chair and ottoman and I keep it looking great by conditioning the leather once a year. Chair looks better now than when I bought it because of natural patina. But here's a small tip. My leather chair has very thick leather, but 3 yrs ago my brother bought a leather lazyboy and within a year the top of the chair back started to lose color from his watching TV and moving his head. He paid two grand for that recliner and the leather is thin and they used cheap dye. So my sister in law cleaned it. Applied leather dye & fixed it somewhat. But now my brother keeps a throw across the back while he watches TV at night and whips it off when they have company over. So, maybe have your Hubs throw a lap throw over the top to keep your refinishing in good repair... not that I'm saying it's cheap dye on your chairs, just so you don't rub off your hard work. 🙂

@melissacassey7225 2 года назад

They turned out lovely. I agree with you about recliners and was planning to ditch ours this summer. However, I fell and broke my arm while on vacation. Everyone, the ER doctors, the Orthopedic doctor, the Physical Therapist ALL told me to sleep in a recliner. It was such a blessing to already own one. Now that we're preparing to replace our furniture, my dh and I are in agreement that we need a recliner somewhere on the 1st floor of the house...just in case.

@linenandpurple7663 2 года назад

I love this technique as well as the chairs themselves. My husband and I were actually looking at purchasing these, but his one concern is that they're not real leather. Do you have any thoughts on real vs. faux leather for a family with small kids?

Best kind of recliner there is. Nice straight back , no big lump up in the head area to push your head forward like some recliners and most of all they go with almost everything.

@bridgetlake 2 года назад

Methinks you made lemons into lemonade. My best friend has husband whose only request in interior design was a recliner. She did find a beautiful leather one that didn’t look “reclinery” at all. It was expensive, but works in her space. She’s an interior designer, so has a very good eye. Think this was a good option if cost is a consideration. Not a recliner fan, but appreciate the tutorial.

@gailacook5102 Год назад

@heatherannekennedy9368 2 года назад

Really awesome transformation Sarah - so perfect for your space and aesthetic! Great job! So worth the effort to keep that wonderful husband of yours happy and comfortable ... and make it work for you too! Have you had any issues with the shoe polish transferring to clothing? I know it takes a bit to cure when I polish up our shoes and handbags!

@SheHoldsDearly 2 года назад

We haven't noticed any transfer! Hoping that by working it into the leather really well we'll avoid it completely. This one didn't seem to need a cure time!

@heatherannekennedy9368 2 года назад

@@SheHoldsDearly Thank you - I'll need to stock my shoe care bin with that polish - always running last minute to spruce up shoes for church or an outing!

@janicehunt8532 2 года назад

Love the recliners but I’d be nervous with the shoe polish treatment.

@julieb4593 2 года назад

Brilliant idea, beautifully executed! Will the shoe polish come off on your clothes when you sit on the chair? Also, what color shoe polish would work on burgundy leather chairs to make them look dark brown/cognac like yours?
