Aulaire, can you please tell me how you get rid of your books? Whom did you donate or sell to? I have the same dilema. Need to get rid of a few hundred. Apartment Therapy - Look!: Books as Adornment |

If you have a large piece of art that's bold on the wall, then you won't need a rug. I feel like rugs cut up the space. Good Questions: Rug Color Suggestions for Our Dining Room? |

I had a very good and well priced upholsterer who did work for me 2 years back. He used to charge me $60 per yard for labor. So, if it took 10 yards to cover a sofa, then he would charge me $600. He would charge a little extra if pattern matching was needed (for striped or patterned fabric). You could figure out the yardage by measuring yourself, or many fabric stores also have charts with sample pictures. Good Questions: How Much Should I Pay My Reupholstery Friend? |

I'd actually considered purchasing the Putnam and the Grant chairs (suggested by Patrick) at Room and Board. Unfortunately, they were not that comfortable. Good Questions: What Chairs to Pair with This Sofa? |

I personally do not think you need to do anything to the shelf if you design and edit your the items. Opt for fewer items, vary them in size and use items of the same palette as artwork, furniture, and accessories in the room. If you use books, put some together vertically, stack some horizontally to vary the shape. Good Questions: How Do I Decorate This Shelving Unit? |

Although I have tackled many sewing projects, I leave reupholstering to the professionals. Not only do you need the skills, but your sewing machine needs to be able to handle thicker fabrics and have the "leg" to do piping. I strongly recommend going to an upholsterer. The results will speak for themselves. Good Questions: Is DIY Reupholstering Recommended? |

I was a loyal viewer but thought the show had gone off the air. I also garden and the thing that impressed me about Matt James is that he seems to know a LOT about dirt. Dirt is so under rated. The secret to a lush garden is dirt. It's not just about making things look pretty. Blogging... Urban Outsiders & The City Gardener on HGTV |
