OK, just read that the sofa was vintage... Anyone know any good sources for a leather 4-seater sofa that isn't outrageously priced? Mazen's Tailored Toronto Townhouse House Tour Flag this comment	1/20/12 9:18 AM
Love the house, so beautiful! I am especially in love with the 4-seater sofa, does anyone know where that is from??? I am having the hardest time finding one, and would love love love it to be in leather for under $6k. Mazen's Tailored Toronto Townhouse House Tour Flag this comment	1/20/12 9:15 AM
Love it, but I'm trying to figure out at what age those steps would no longer be a hazard (they look really narrow!) A Small Space That Packs A Punch knaehojkarse Flag this comment	1/11/12 4:52 PM

I agree with those above that say Do IT! I have plaster walls all over my house and I tear them down whenever I have the excuse. The insulation makes such a difference, and drywall is so much easier to deal with when painting, hanging things, dropping cables, etc. But if you are doing this yourself, I cannot emphasize enough to wear a heavy-duty face mask and protective clothing. The plaster dust also gets everywhere, so be sure to cover everything or hang drop cloths to protect your home. Thoughts on Replacing Plaster Wall with Insulation and Drywall?

So I have a teensy half-bath off of my bedroom that I have considered painting black. There is a window and I do not think light is a huge issue. However, should I still paint it if bone white tile with a black border goes up the wall about 3.5 ft? If so, do people recommend painting the window frame and ceiling black as well? I am hopeless when it comes to paint, so any advice is welcome! Darkly Chic: Black Walls in Any Room Flag this comment	11/8/11 1:44 PM

I second Elaine's suggestion about the primer, as well as sanding down the undercoat before re-application. Another option might be to carefully use finishing grade sandpaper to lightly buff away some of the gloss. Good luck! Is it Possible to Successfully Touch Up Wall Paint? Good Questions Flag this comment	8/12/10 8:49 AM
I hear you about not wanting to paint the walls, since I too am a fan of really deep, dark reds. They are so moody and fun! To lighten up the place I would incorporate light colored fabrics everywhere (curtains, rug, chairs, you name it). I would also bring in as much lighting as humanly possible in addition to a few well placed, large mirrors to bounce the existing light around. I'm not sure if there is a light fixture in the ceiling, but this room could have a light fixture over the table be a really fun focal point. Good luck, great place!

I was just in Dane Decor this past weekend and the Luna chairs from there are very comfortable and update the look of a papasan chair a bit. Here is the link to that line: http://www.danedecor.com/prod_pdfs/Luna_Chair.pdf Honestly, the "Stressless" chairs from there are quite possibly the most comfortable chairs I have ever sat in (and they fully recline for optimal napping), although they are quite a departure from the papasan look you may be going for.
