Sounds like you've really done your research! I have a western facing bedroom so everything was turning purple or pink for me. I ended up going with BM's Dove Wing and it has a HINT of warm grey, but its not cold. I love it. I also read an article by the Editor of Southern Living who wisely said "let me save you some time, just go with Ivory White every time." He had tried and tested his theory many times and this BM color always won. For warmth and no yellows to it.

Fantastic article! I wrote a similar post a while back about the importance of those things and got a lot of questions about spending money for quality vs. wanting to change out every few years. I say to each their own. But if you are looking for a couch that will hold up - these are the cornerstones. And surely if you get it in a pretty classic and non-overt or trendy form then you can have it reupholstered as your tastes change (unfortunately for me its every year or two, but they say the average is 5-10 years).

wow - very well put! i so agree about the mini-redo aspect and that there are sometimes bigger fish to fry first but you need to least make things pleasing to the eye :)

I was hook line and sinker when I saw these! But then I found much more reasonable 'legs' online with some searching. Are these def. worth it? And what about for a non-Ikea couch?

I love anything John Robshaw or Les Indiennes, but can't quite afford the pricetag for my own home. Are any other the others listed more affordable?

I LOL'ed at the bit about keeping calm and carrying on.

So trite.

I like everything at first, because it's new and pushing the envelope. But it seems with the ubiquitity of the internet and blogs, and the numerous DIY'ers out there, nothing is sacred and nothing stays unique for long.

I always feel as long as I am staying true to myself and what I genuinely love, then it will never go out of style FOR ME.
