If you plan on replacing the tile I think you would need a permit as the building dept. might not think of it as just cosmetic due to the requirement of waterproofing.

I would start off cautious with soap and water. You can move to baking soda or soft scrub to get out other stubborn stains but test first. And, don't use a scrubbing pad as they can leave color mar...

A good upholsterer can repair/replace the springs without having to reupholster the sofa. They can go in from the underside to repair or if they have to remove the existing fabric they could reappl...

The sconce in the photo above is by Artemide.

Thank you Seaside. Beat me to it. The article in one of the most recent shelter mags was interesting. He is not my favorite designer, but I do like some of his work. I don...

Love the photo and the ideas everyone has. I just thought the Chinese Delivery comment meant that since your house number will be so large it would be easy to see from the street.

The chairs are by McGuire. Expensive, but worth the money. They will literally last forever. I am currently recovering some for a client who was given a set that was once owned by her mother. They ...

aquarabbit: Look at Ikea they may have pieces that you can put together and then paint. also, there is that great place in Noe Valley/Dolores Park, don't remember who, but...

I have to agree with the cost issue. Although even at $2k that is a great price, we should still consider time involved as being worth something. Also, what about permit costs? So a be...

I agree with Fueledbycoffee. I hate that AT would even suggest another company "knock-off" furniture. How about if CB2 or Ikea take inspiration from this table and create something unique that fits...

Love, love, love Mexico City. We stay at the W for a few reasons: it is reasonably priced, it is central to where we want to go and what we want to see, the staff is great. You will h...

This make me miss Forrest Jones!!!

I love this store and it is one of my stops when in LA. Pricey is an understatement!!

I never really understood the small rug in front of a sofa and under just the coffee table. A rug should help define a space, or zone. The other thing I hate is when furniture is partly on and of...

for a somewhat cheap alternative get a double thick board of foam core. Not as reusable as cork, but cheaper.

Why does Alexis look like a drag queen. She normally has that Sandra Bernhardt look about her. Someone needs to clean her face off. Can't wait for the show!

My advice is to buy the best shredder you can. I love the fact that I don't have to open any junk mail in order to shred it. I would also recommend one that can shred credit cards and CDs.

I agree with Bepsf. But, did you buy them for investment value or did you buy them to enjoy yourself? I say that unless they are in great condition with their original fin...

What bepsf is describing is called a "breather button" we use them when we have either leather or outdoor fabric cushions made. You can look online for these although I don't know if the technica...

I would go with the sofa snap system. I have my upholsterer use it on all of our sectionals and it works great. I don't see another options, maybe some else has one. Could you use duct tape or h...
