Recently, we helped a local young couple restore a piece of antique furniture that has been passed through their family for generations. Kristen is a medical student at Wayne State University in Detroit and Dan is a regional sales manager from Grosse Pointe. The soon-to-be-married couple wanted to put Dan’s great-grandfather’s couch in the living room of their new home in Birmingham.
The couch is a circa 1850s empire-style sofa with beautiful soft lines. However, the dated upholstery design of the couch didn’t fit with the design of their new home. So, Kristen and Dan decided to have the couch re-upholstered by Foxwood Furniture Restorations! The couple has grandparents in Ann Arbor, MI that loved the idea of reupholstering the couch to its original glory and encouraged the repairs.
When it came to picking a new fabric, Kristen and Dan selected a high-end royal green velvet fabric. As you can see, the fabric gives the old couch a luxurious new look. There is truly nothing quite like real velvet. The couch also needed a few repairs. The experienced contractors at Foxwood Restoration repaired an unstable wooden leg and did color replacement on the wood frame of the couch. Now, the antique couch is as good as new!

Just recently, we restored a channel back upholstered chair for Samantha of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Samantha wanted to give her old chair a fresh new look while maintaining its original character and history. It was a strong and comfortable chair with a swivel. The channel back chair was sentimental to Samantha as it had been used by her three young children who loved to play and spin on the swiveling chair. All three of her children had grown up playing and having fun on the comfortable chair.
Unfortunately, the chair was starting to show its age through matted upholstery and a faded design pattern. Samantha knew she had to find a reliable company to fix the problems and save the history stored in that chair. It was only when she was moving to a country property in the area of Ypsilanti that she decided to have the chair reupholstered here at Foxwood. Not only did she want to chair to be reupholstered, but she also wanted to give the comfortable chair an updated look. Fortunately, we were able to reupholster the chair and add a new fabric that Samantha chose. The end product was a fine-quality chair with a fresh new look that Samantha could be proud of.
In addition, Samantha was so happy with her restored chair that she referred some of her friends from Saline, 
Michigan! They wanted to have the wood refinishing done to their full dining room table set. We were able to refinish the table, chairs, and hutch to restore the youth and beauty of the wood.

Here at Foxwood, we have been servicing the people of Brighton for years. An example of this is Dale. Dale is a resident in Brighton, Michigan and he brought in his grandmother’s antique rocking chair. The insides of the chair had become flat which caused the chair to lose its beauty and support. Also, the circa “1950” chair was ready for the burn pile. But the chair was very sentimental to Dale as he remembered hours of sitting on his grandma’s lap in that chair. He was willing to do anything to save the chair that he remembered in his memories.
Dale remembered hearing about Foxwood and decided to take a chance. He contacted us and within a few days, Dale was able to look at all of the hundreds of fabrics that Foxwood has online and selected about a dozen of his favorites that were sent to his home. After matching a few of the fabrics to his other furniture, he picked his favorite and the reupholstery of his chair was started. Foxwood finished his chair in about 30 days and Dale was able to bring it home. Now, Dale is happy sitting in and enjoying his grandmother’s reupholstered rocking chair that will last from generation to generation.
