Would regular interior wall paint work to paint a metal filing cabinet? I have a lot of samples of colors we rejected for the wall that would look great on a file cabinet.

While it s certainly in good taste, to me, the apartment feels a bit sad and impersonal. My immediate reaction in looking at this post is that I would not want to live there. Thank you for posting though as I enjoy seeing different styles. As I am picking paint colors, I can now see that too much gray and white is not for me.

In the Boston area Locatelli-Smith is very good (http://locatellismithinteriors.com). Ask for Gary. He just did three mid-size chairs for us for $250 each labor. The chairs were in bad shape - they had been in my father in law's pediatric waiting room since 1960 and the wood had initials carved in it, creaky old springs that needed to be replaced, covered in green nagahyde (sp?).

We found very nice fabric at Freddy Farkels in Watertown (www.fabricshowplace.com) for about $25-30 yard and needed 3 yards per chair. The chairs have wooden arms (no fabric needed) and no loose pillows, mid century modern clean lines. In any case, they look great and my FIL was delighted to see how good his old chairs came out!
