I have been trying to source plain, heavy duty Dralon-type upholstery velvet in an old gold or similar colour without success. I only need eight metres to reupholster two antique bergere chairs. Any ideas?

J A Milton Upholstery Supplies was established in 1989 as furniture renovators. They undertake re-upholstery commissions, teach upholstery courses and have a huge range of products for DIY enthusiasts, including everything from basic fabrics (there is one which may be suitable for your chairs) to fancy upholstery studs. www.fabricsandpapers.com offer a huge range of wallpapers and fabrics from leading European and British design houses. They have a caramel colour polyester velvet, very like Dralon, which sells for approx £30 a metre.

I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP DESIGN MY HOUSE, BUT WANT MY HOME TO APPEAR AS IF IT GREW INTO ITS LOOK, NOT AS IF IT HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY DESIGNED. I PARTICULARLY LIKE VINTAGE STYLE.
