I found that our Dunham Sectional is too cushy. The pillows are really fat, and I feel that it takes up too much space when I try to sit back. I do not even use the two arm pillows because it takes up so much space. Otherwise the quality and down filled cushions are great.

Anyone in Chicago looking to move into a beautiful, vintage top floor..comes with antique wooden upright piano as a welcome home gift:)

The picture is of the second floor unit after the 'renovation'. We did the entire second floor and partial first floor (where we live). After updating electric, stripping wall paper (in the kitchen and pretty much every room in the unit), removing five layers of linoleum on the floor and refinishing what was underneath it all, buying appliances, etc.. our budget was spent. So, we stripped the kitchen down to a 'blank slate' so to speak, and always conveyed to prospective tenants that they can personalize it with paint and we would be open to adding more shelving or cabinets if needed. Cabinets not ideal, but good for now, but we did add different open shelving and cabinet system over the sink after discovering a leak in the wall and having to open up the wall the sink is on. Overall, I kept cabinets to a minimum because there is a huge walk in pantry in the kitchen that fits the fridge and has built in shelves up to the ceiling to store pretty much everything!! I wanted to keep the airiness of the high ceiling, two large windows, and openness of the sink and not close it up w/ too many cabinets.

Mustard tiles were there and we decided to leave it for now.

The third floor unit is yet to be renovated pending the move out of the elderly lady (and previous owner of the building) at the end of September. But the layout is the same and with aqua plastic tiling and minus the beautiful painted tin ceiling. So, we will keep the sink and keep your suggestions in mind.

All your comments have been tremendously helpful and thanks, @ HeyNowTex for the photo links. Loved them.

Once that project is underway, I will photograph the before and after to share.

Thanks AT community!
