Thanks so much guys, the suggestions are great! I'll ost when I make some changes!

Does anyone have a suggestion of where I can get a mirror cut to size to use as a table top?

sorry for the late response, I was on vacation!

mh330, I cannot remember the grade of sandpaper, but it literally looked like a big square. It was by 3M. The guy at Home Depot really helped me out. I just lightly sanded it and the primer took right away. it really wasn't rough to the touch either, it just took the "shine" away and then the primer stuck. Good luck!

DahliaCactus, I didn't go for matching hardware because I didn't want too much of a traditional look. I wanted to mix modern with more classic look, so I chose the silver buttons and glass. the pictures don't do them justice, my camera is horrible! :)

Thanks for your comments.

what are some good places around town to get cool, vintage-looking drawer pulls/knobs for my dresser? thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, I'll let you know how the dresser turns out!

Janella13, I just used a latex paint, I presumed it wasn't water-based because it didn't say it on the can, but upon further inspection, I realized duh... it is water-based. I am new to painting so forgive the ignorance! :)

Although I will say, Glidden paint worked great. It has awesome coverage.

If you chose the custom fabric you obviously at one point liked it so don't throw in the towel just yet! :) I think the lamps may be too "matchy matchy" with the sofa. Perhaps you can get different ones. Maybe in a metallic finish or a brown or even cream. I would suggest trying a color palette of cream and dark chocolate throw pillows, dark chocolate chairs, a rug that has some pattern to it but pulls in those three colors and even some punches of orange would look nice with the blue.

Good luck! The couch is nice. I like it because its not something you see everyday!

The decor in person is beautiful. If you want a seat, make sure your whole party is there or they will only seat the number that are there at the time. The bouncer does seem standoffish at first but he is only doing his job. We had about 10 people coming but only three were there at the time. We went to the bar, and every time someone from the party came in, he was very accommodating about letting them right in to our spot. That could have been what the previous reader kept seeing when the girl were just breezing past the line.

Its a great laid back place, perfect for a romantic date.
And again, such a beautiful decor!

I get it on my walls in my kitchen and in my old apartment in the bathroom. It almost looks like drips of tree sap!

I want to repaint a dresser I have. The problem is, I don't think its real wood. More like particle board and wood together, then coated in something. It's from Walmart from years ago, but still in great shape. But it has that cheapy manufactured feel. How would you recommend I treat it in order to paint it? sorry I can't be more specific about what its made of because I don't know.
