Upholstery?
10/8/2015 at 7:59 PM

Does anyone know or can anyone recommend a company in the Westman area that can do on-site leather upholstery? I am looking to have some wall panels upholstered instead of boring old wallpaper but not sure who can do that?

Thanks in Advance!!

I am still making calls but not having any luck finding anyone who can do what I am looking for. I will post a pic. Maybe wallpaper is the better way to go.

but could you not have them do those as individual squares and then adhere them to your wall? Without need for them to come into your come?

Velcro

I've seen the panels similar to the ones you've shown on a DIY show. Once they're made individually the panels are attached to the wall with Velcro.

couldn't you attach them to a thin board with legs attached so they aren't on the wall? Just a thought. Made a headboard for my daughter years ago, and it seems to work fine.

DIY

I am so not a DIY person - I have no time or desire to be honest, I am sure all of the ideas mentioned above would work, but I still need someone else to do them LOL

that would be fairly easy to do, i would start phoning small handymen/contractors and see if they can do them outright or if they would install them after you had someone make the panels

Installation

If someone could make them I can have them installed, that isn't the issue, it is finding someone to make them.

Don't know anyone who can do this, that's why I'm on here asking for referrals and recommendations on who can do it.
