No hard & fast rules here either. I buy as much on sale and closeouts/seconds as possible - I thrift, eBay and buy used whenever possible or as practical... ...but I've spent small fortunes on professional framing, sewing for custom draperies and re-upholstery work and tilework.

I don't know that I would have chosen that textile, but I like the idea alot - It's a big improvement from the old vinyl! I wonder how one of these would look in a Navy Velvet? Before & After: An Eames Lounge Knockoff, Transformed Flag this comment	9/19/11 1:51 PM
I'd like a Mercedes SL, a Breitling Watch, a Leather Chesterfield Sofa and an Hermes Throw - and they're way out of my budget... ...but rather than looking for cheap knockoffs - I know that I can either buy used and/or work hard and save money for the real thing.

IMO, dividing up an already narrow space by planting a bookcase in the middle of the room or a sofa facing the windows is going to make it feel like a bowling alley in there. The floorplan gives you about the best layout you can hope for - If anything, forget the desk in the corner by the kitchen and back the dining table up to the back of the sofa.

It's one thing to do different types of windows coverings (ie: draperies and roman shades) in the same fabric within a room... ...but doing different fabrics makes it look like you just picked up whatever was on sale and threw them up willy-nilly. Personally, it doesn't appear that you get much light in this space - I don't see the need for blinds, just some draperies at the bay that meet the sill and at the other window that do the same (I sure hope you plan on getting rid of the empty beer bottles and procuring some tables for your lamps) Mix and Match Window Treatments?

From the photos shown here (I couldn't get the Lonny site to work without crashing the Win-doze computer) there isn't anything MCM about this place... ...its much more Hollywood Regency. A Mid-Century Modernists's Dream Apartment Lonny Flag this comment	9/14/11 12:36 PM
I love my Heath, but most of my pieces (and I have quite a bit) are purchased pre-owned off eBay or from the factory as seconds... ...and normally I would be thrilled to own Tiffany china, but that which is shown is about the most drab stuff I've ever seen - I honestly thought it was Bistro-ware from Williams Sonoma. I say get rid of the Tiffany - which is probably seldom used - and get the Heath which you can use every day. Would You Sell One Treasure to Buy Another? Flag this comment	9/13/11 6:39 PM

You're supposed to wash your pillows & duvet - not throw them out! Just haul them into the local laundry and put them in the large industrial machine with half a thing of soap - and into the dryer with a tin of tennis balls.
