how to: restore barcelona chairs

I have two very old Barcelona-style chairs (
I think they are fake, but I\'m not sure)
It has been in my basement for 15 years.
Someone gave them to me and I have been going to patch them for years, but never had time and was completely intimidated by the task.
The stainless steel frame is rusted and everything from the belt to the suede leather pad needs to be replaced.
I really don\'t care if they are fake or real.
I\'m just wondering if it\'s worth fixing these.
Who can redecorate these chairs for me at a reasonable price?
There are a few ideas for Takoma ParkAHere.
If you want to solve this problem by yourself, you can purchase a replacement leather strap and cushion from phononachairfactory. com.
The price of the strap is $90 a set, and the price of the MAT varies from $160 to $350 depending on the cover.
Options include leather and cowhide.
The site also sells the new stainless steel chair rack for $135.
But if you want to change every part, you should buy a new chair.
Before that, please read the stainless steel repair proposal from Everbrite, which produces various metal repair products (www.
British restaurant. com).
If stainless steel has a brushed surface, scrub rust like a scrub pan with a scrub pad and a bleach-free cleaner such as Bon Ami.
Scrub in the direction of the brush mark.
Alternatively, if the chair frame is polished stainless steel, use an acid cleaner and a neutralizer.
In both cases, it is done with a transparent coating that is sprayed or brushed.
Everbrite sells a kit with acid cleaners, neutrals and clear coatings for $39 on its website.
The hardware store and the paint store sell transparent finishes.
Rusty Walker from Walker Furniture Services is an option if you want to hire someone (443-340-6565; www.
Furniture. com).
He was arranged to restore a chair like this.
The recycled mat costs $112 per chair plus upholstery material, and $165 If foam needs to be replaced.
It takes $85 to remove rust.
The price of the strap is about $220, but the final price will be determined by the thickness and width.
If the frame is not separated, he needs to attach the strap with rivets instead of stitching, just like the original one.
His company is based in Westminster, Maryland.
But call in the metro areas of Washington and Baltimore.
I like Ivy League in Boston. Not British Ivy)
On the brick wall, especially on the south and west side of my house.
The leaves provide shade and rain in the summer and warm the sun in the winter.
But how do you prevent Vines from growing and causing damage in the back and below?
The only solution aside from removing ivy is to cut Ivy regularly.
If you feel uncomfortable on the ladder, please find someone to clean the sink and ask them to trim the Ivy at the same time.
Herb Mees, owner of Action Metal, said: \"I have been working in this industry for 50 years and have no magic solution I have ever seen . \" (703-971-0135; www.

A company located in Alexandria to install and repair water ditches
Metro gutter and Family Services in Alexandria (703-354-4333; www. metrogutter. com)
Said almost the same thing.
Both companies are willing to trim Ivy while cleaning or repairing ditches.
Mr. spirce said his company usually charges about $200 to $300 to clean up the gutter and decorate the Ivy League on the townhouse.
Baake said that the clean price of the ditch on the subway alone starts at $95, the price of a townhouse is $125, and the price of a separate house is $.
If there is only a little bit of Ivy, there is no extra charge for cutting ivy.
If there is a lot, it could cost up to several hundred dollars.
However, Baake warned that homeowners need to ask Drain cleaners to trim Ivy.
Otherwise, the company sees it-
Let\'s say homeowners like that.
