The Mousemobile delivers again

After sinking lower and lower on our 2 settees, which are still upholstered in the original fabric, we decided to call in an expert.  I had gone underneath and pulled out what was left of the original cotton batting, whacked the upholstery with an antique rug beater, blown out with a air compressor every nook and corner, used upholstery cleaner on the fabric and restuffed them with poly batting, but that is what a rookie does.  Obviously, I couldn't do what needed to be done.  I had been reluctant to pull off the 57 yr. old fabric and do it right, but necessity dictated this approach.  I called Guy Bowen, owner of Don's Upholstery in Sonora, CA.  This man knows vintage fabric, and vintage construction.  He rebuilt the settees and, of course, took pix of the ridiculous amount of mouse poop and junk that all my cleaning out and vacuuming couldn't get to.  This man went over and above for us, and the settees are now firm, comfy and best of all, mouse poop free.  The fabric held up nicely, and with care, he put them all back together.  Way to go, Guy.  You are my man!
