My husband Chris replaced the decorator fabric in this antique screen.
The screen belonged to his grandparents or great-grandparents and had been stored for years in the granary on the Smith family farm in Missouri. He retrieved it from the junkpile about 30 years ago. He cleaned it up, refinished the wood part, and we put in a floral fabric. It was time to put in a new fabric as the former fabric didn't go with my present color scheme.
It took him several days to get the old fabric out and put in the new fabric. There were nails in the way and it was very hard for him to evenly put the fabric in the grooves and keep the fabric pulled taut. But he finally was able to accomplish it. I told him I wouldn't make him do it a third time!
