Great advice! I spent 8 months in an upholstery class and my teacher warned us against buying foam from big chains or fabric stores, but to find a foam supplier. I got foam for my chair, they cut it for me, and it's dense and will last my lifetime. It cost I think $15 for my cushion (for a large chair) (in Canada). If you're going to do a 'real' redo in the future, you'll still be able to use the foam you buy now, so I'd get it in a good place and let them cut it for you. Just for the record, I wish I'd chosen a *slightly* less dense foam - that chair is really hard to sit on now, and since we don't sit on it daily, it is probably not going to get softer. You probably crash on that couch daily so I think you wouldn't have the same problem.

My teacher told me to trace the shape of my old pillow onto big paper, and bring that in for them to use as a template. If I were you, I'd bring the actual pillow and case in too, maybe they'll give you some good advice.

I also agree that you should take the skirt off now and show off the legs! :)

I love Nom Nom Paleo too! She's a fantastic writer, has beautiful photography, tasty recipes, and is a true inspiration. When AT & NNP meet, it's a good good day! :)

Adorable! That door is what really makes it!! :)

Another Paleo hurrah from me! Glad to see them represented! A year ago I had just started Paleo, now it's so familiar and comfortable for me - thanks to some highly skilled and generous bloggers!

Interesting!! I hope you share your eventual results! :)

I have that duvet cover too, and love the white. We have white sheets, pillow cases (4 pillows) - that's lots of white. But we also have a couple antique wood pieces in the bedroom which add lots of warmth and character.

Do a search for 'Scandinavian home' on Pinterest. You'll have thousands of photos to glean for ideas! :) http://pinterest.com/search/?q=scandinavian+home

Beautiful! I love the wood furniture - nicely done! Is that quilt made from old silks? Love it, wonder if you made it. Also love: the map in the bedroom, the chair in the bedroom, the kitchen, the night stand with the oils. :)

I'm on Bloor West... maybe we'll make it out to your restaurant this weekend. Looks nice!

I never comment on these types of posts but MAN that girl is cute.

SO lovely. I adore the yellows and reds. Your rugs are beautiful. We have the EXACT same rug as the one in your living room with the grey tassels. It's handmade, I got it in Turkey - I wonder where you got yours! :)

I agree with the commenter who said the two chairs in that room are perfect in every way. :)

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the lights and colour, the ethnic artwork, the kitchen, oh... the kitchen!!
