Worth the Expense of Refinishing & Reupholstering?
Has anyone ever had furniture refinished and/or reupholstered furniture? My future mother-in-law got us a dining room set (era 1970's) that is an eyesore. My fiance doesn't want to hurt to her feelings by trashing it even though we both think it's heinous. My thought on this is that there is hope if we refinish the table & reupholster the chairs but I don't know how expensive it is. We can't get estimates until we get the furniture out of storage when our house is done next month. Has anyone here ever had either of these done? Is it worth the expense or is it better to just buy a new set & tell her flat out that we prefer something else?
No one ever told me that buying a new house would create such silly dilemmas.
