A bit too derivative for my taste. These look like you can easily find similar looking vintage pieces for a fraction of the price on craigslist than new. Save the dresser of course. That thing is fabulous. New Pieces for Fall from DwellStudio High Point Market Spring 2012 |

I agree that sofa is lovely. It makes no sense that the tufting is on the outside but who cares, it looks great, lol. Favorites from Mitchell Gold + Bob WilliamsHigh Point Market Spring 2012 |

I've always liked this sofa. Sitting in it is like being in a padded room (not that I'd know anything about that). But the futon-like metal structure on the back and sides kinda kill it for me. Super Sized Bouroullec Alcove Sofa at Vitra I Saloni 2012 |

I like it. But the gray drawer fronts don't really work. I would decoupage a floral William Morris type print onto the front. Before & After: Vintage Veneered Dresser Goes Back to Basics Imperfect Patina |

It makes a lot of sense in California where it doesn't get too cold. Also if it bursts or leaks there is minimal damage to the house. Would You Consider an Outside Hot Water Heater? |

The Anthropologie nightstand is a copy of a design by TH Robsjohn Gibbings design for Widdicomb. It should criminal what companies like that do and the prices that they ask for to do it. Nightstands With Enough Storage To Control Clutter |

Lol, I love your disclaimer, Elaine. Generally, I look for wobbling in the frame. If the couch squeaks your springs probably need tightening or replacing (something a good upholsterer would do for you anyhow). But in general a 6-7 foot sofa will cost about 500-800 to reupholster in fabric. I would just account your time/budget and compare that to how much you like your sofa against spending about 1200 for a new one. Reupholster Sofas or Buy New? Good Questions |

For basic bedding I always go for solids. I would suggest cream colored sheets and a duvet (or better yet just a topper) in anyone of the colors on the rug (dark brown or the blue). Pillowcases in a bright contrasting orange will balance out the room nicely. You can bring some additional pattern with a coordinating decorative throw or extra pillow.

The joint can be repaired. The problem with the chair is that the stress of sitting has worn away at the wood of the seat. I would encircle toothpicks in the interior of the wood joint to help beef it up and strengthen it. The toothpicks should be attached with wood glue. That should be enough to strengthen the joint to repair it. Gorilla glue can be used later to secure the brass pin into place but shouldn't be necessary if you do the toothpick thing correctly.
