Furniture reupholstery & antique restoration · Grand Rapids
Heirloom furniture,brought back to life.
A small family shop on East Fulton, restoring the pieces worth keeping — antiques, mid-century finds, the chair that’s been in the family a while. Bring us the one other shops won’t touch.
What we do
What we bring back to life
Six things we do, all by hand and all quote-based — from a single worn cushion to a hundred-year-old frame.
Residential reupholstery
Sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, benches and settees rebuilt and re-clad in the fabric you choose.
Antique & heritage restoration
Victorian and Eastlake pieces stripped to the frame, re-sprung and reupholstered by hand — including the ones others turned down.
Mid-century modern
Clean-lined mid-century seating brought back with the right foam, the right lines and a fabric that suits it.
Cushions, foam & spring re-tie
New foam and cushion cores, and hand re-tied coil springs so a seat sits like it did the day it was made.
Fabric selection
Hundreds of designer fabric lines to choose from, picked out together in the shop until it’s right.
Powersports & specialty seats
Motorcycle and powersports seats re-covered too. Have something unusual? Ask us.
The Swatch Wall
Pick a cloth. See it wearing.
Dean carries hundreds of designer fabrics, and choosing the right one is half the craft. Tap a swatch and watch the piece change its skin — the same way it happens across the bench in the shop.

The restoration
Stripped to the frame. Rebuilt by hand.
This Eastlake armchair came in as a bare frame — torn burlap, broken springs, a hundred years of wear. It left as an heirloom in a black-and-rust Morris tapestry.
The shop
A neighborhood shop that still does it by hand
A small family shop on East Fulton, run by Dean Perrin for over thirty years — known around Grand Rapids for its fabric selection and for taking on the jobs other shops turn down.
“I held my breath when I spoke to Dean about the bench, knowing there was no way he’d even consider it… The collection of fabric is awesome. What a beautiful job — a work of art.”— A Perrin’s customer
