Musa came to look at the shelving system job, told me he would get me a quote, then I never heard from him again. That didn't break my heart, as he told me that he would be cutting all the shelving in the apt! That is insane. It is one thing to have to do some final fitting of the shelving, but to cut all the shelving in the apt would make an enormous mess. I do not think he has a shop to work in and that doesn't bode well for a carpenter. I would not recommend.

Definitely sand it slightly, prime it, and paint it with two coats of black, satin finish. You will only see the shape of the table, which is heavy, but not that bad a silhouette. Cover the chair seats with a retro fabric with lots of black and bright colors, maybe barkcloth, and it will look more French Cafe and less Early American. You can find retro barkcloth fabric on eBay or just google it. If the table gets scratched and banged up a bit, it will just look shabby chic. Oh, and it's best to paint the radiator to match the wall, not the trim. That way it will disappear, not be the first thing you notice.

Ian Mclean seems to have gone missing, as he doesn't respond to emails or phone calls. His website is still up, but I wonder if he has gone out of business. Apartment Therapy New York \| Good Questions: Coffee Table Bases Only? Flag this comment	4/23/09 12:46 PM
Ian Mclean of hairpinlegs.com still has a website, but he doesn't return emails or phone calls. Has anyone here had luck with him lately, since there is an email from 2007 about the same problem? Apartment Therapy New York \| Open Thread 528 Flag this comment	4/23/09 12:41 PM
Very nice! Since I am from NYC, where a 500 SF one bedroom goes for $500K (yes, even in this economy!), I am amazed by the open space. I love the swoopy sculpture on the coffee table. Where is that from? Apartment Therapy Chicago \| House Tour: Paola & John's Converted Switch House Flag this comment	4/15/09 1:22 PM
