Can I provide my own fabric for an upholstery project? +

You are welcome to provide your own fabric. To ensure you have the required quantity and that the fabric is appropriate for its intended use, we kindly ask that you provide these ddetails before you purchase: the fabric manufacturer, pattern name, colorway, pattern repeat (vertical and horizontal), composition, and fabric width.

Please note: Revitaliste is not responsible for inspecting the quality or quantity of any fabric provided to us. We assume any fabric sent to us is ready to be used on your project.

I saw a fabric on your website that I love. How do I buy it? +

Simply provide the style number, pattern name and color of your desired fabric to your Project Specialist and we'll update your quore with the details. After you have accepted your quote and submitted payment, we'll purchase the specified fabric on your behlaf.

What if I change my mind about the design I chose? +

If we have not purchased your materials or started work on your piece, we can accommodate certain changes. Please reach out to us via your quote to discuss the specifics. Changes made after the project quote has been approved will incur a $150 change fee.

How do I know we’re on the same page with the design for my piece? +

To ensure all the design details are accurately captured, we document the details on your project quote. Please carefully review your quote prior to accepting.

What is a “CFA”? +

A cut-for-approval, or CFA, is a small cutting from the dye-lot that your yardage will be cut from. This cutting is to verify that the color and “hand” (feel) of the fabric is what you are expecting.

What is custom color matching and when do I need it? +

For refinishing projects, we work with different professional grade products such as pre-catalyzed lacquer, conversion varnish, and acrylic urethane. Thes products are all clear (no color). We can color-match these products to any paint color you like. We refer to this process as "custom color matching". Simply provide your desired paint color and sheen to your Project Specialist and we will match our professional grade product to your specified paint color. We create a small sample, referred to as a "strike off", for your approval via high resolution digital photo or physical sample.

There is a $150 charge to create a custom color. For standar white or standard black lacquer/conversion varnish/acrylic urethane, there is no custom color charge. Strike offs are not available for standard black or standard white.

What is a "strike off"? +

A "strike off" is a sample of the finish we will be applying to your furniture. We create strike offs as a way for you to approve a finish prior to fully refinishing your furniture.

For opaque finish strike offs (e.g. color lacquer or conversion varnish), we spray the custom colored product on a small wood sample. Our team first ensures an exact color match to your specified paint color and then shares the strike off with you for approval. Strike offs can be approved by high resolution digital photos or phsyical samples we mail to your office.

For transparent finish strike offs (e.g. wood finishes), we strip your furniture and create a sample of the desired wood stain on a small, discrete section of your furniture and send you a high resolution digital photograph for approval.
