Lovely! This has such a warm feeling to it. I too would love to see more, including a floor plan. Great job for under 500 sqft.

Thanks everyone for all suggestions, this is my current project and I hope to be done with it soon. Will do a followup once it's complete.

@cantabrigian1 : What I mean by MAC displays is mostly aimed towards the window displays. The stores (especially the one on Spring Street in SOHO) cover the entire windows with huge highly saturates graphic images promoting the current collection.

@thestephanie : It's the Andre sofa from Room and Board. I love it.

I changed by address recently when I moved within Manhattan. The "confirmation" letter was received at both addresses.... 10 days later not a single piece of mail was forwarded (luckily I changed most of them myself). After I called the post office and spoke to a woman I was told that she would look into it and call me back. 2 days later after no call I called her back. She said that the change request was NOT DONE BECAUSE MY CARRIER WAS ON VACATION. Umm, what kind of a backwards system is this. A week later and I finally got my mail.

I seriously hate the Post Office and can't wait for the day when it is dissolved by more modern technology.

I used to have one of those no-vent compact washing/dryer in one unit things. It was nice to have a washer in the apartment but it could be a headache. I found myself air drying most of my clothes because they would take 2 hours in the dryer and still come out damp (and STEAMING hot). I felt it was too hard on my clothes to have them in there for so long. It's better then nothing thou.

How the crap would you do this! It's beautiful.

I LOVE THESE DOORS. Seriously great job.

I have to say however the sofa looks out of place.

Wonder how hard it was to source those hinges, where did they come from?

Wow, this sure is cool. I am moving into a place with a narrow balcony - too small for a bistro.

I have to agree, its UGLYYY. I dont so much mind the metal, but white plastic, ew.

Thanks everyone for the help. I am so surprised to see so much problems with R&B sofas. I would be interested to see if a company representative finds this post, and if they do please feel free to email buy (at) louis walch dot com

UPDATE:

I just received the email below in response to my request for a service call.

"New cores are 148.00 each UPS 15.00
As a option one time only R&B would pay for one
You would pay for the other and UPS"

This was my question, you can call me Saggy for short ;)

Nice to hear that other people are also having the same problem with R&B. I had no idea it was such a common occurrence. I am defiantly going to contact them, might even run over at lunch. I will let you guys know what they say.

Problem with this sofa, the cushions are curved in the corners. So I can only swap them side to side, can't fully rotate them.

Since I emailed this to AT I decided to move, and might just try to sell it before I move - I want a different color now. The new sofa I have my eye on has buttons on the cushions, not sure if that would prevent this from happening.
