I would hazard the guess that if J Adler designed the room, J Adler makes the bed. I'm just sayin' it's what he would do.

being a boxer, boston terrier, german shepherd and toy fox terrier owner, one thing i've always found to be useful is a shedding brush. it's a big loop of corrugated metal that removes loads of shed hairs before they get to the rug.
and a hand in a plain old rubber glove does pretty well for brushing off the woven in hairs.
my mother-in-law has a tried and true method for choosing rug color. it involved taking a baggie full of the dogs' hair to the carpet store. you throw the hair down on the all samples, and the color on which you can't see the hair is your rug.
good luck.

In NYC there are whole businesses who's business it is to cut up your furniture in one place and put it back together in another place! No lie.

You can't go back.
Been there, couldn't do that.

not to be snarky, i'm really asking: does anyone really expect to get $2k for a sofa they paid $3k for and sat on for 2 years? am I the one who is unrealistic here?

doppleganger, i know how you feel!
i walked into jenson & lewis (nyc) 20 years ago and tried to purchase a pink sofa, a pale pink sofa.
the sales guy said, weeeeell, that color pink is okaaay, but what about this! and showed me a hot hot HOT pink version which i ordered without a second thought.
i had that hot pink sofa for 20 years and it slowly faded to the color pink i originally wanted. but, the hot hot HOT pink was missed.
it has been recycled now, but not forgotten.
go with your guts, was the lesson. or go with someone else's guts as long as it resonates in your own guts... or something like that. i'll shut up now.

strange that they would mail out renewal notices, then go belly up.

my only advice, given from experience, is that if the drawers are not well made, and you stuff them full (which, of course i did) they will not open, the bottoms will fall out and you will curse the day you had the bright idea to get drawers in your bed.
isn't it bad feng shui to store stuff under your bed? just sayin'.

Although I haven't laid cheek to that particular sofa, I did have white canvas furniture in NYC for a very long time.
It got dirty just from NYC air!
But, I loved it. Accordingly, I served no colored beverages or food, and found that cut way down on cleaning.
Owning white is a challenge which depends on your commitment to white.
I was highly committed.
Boring, but true.

i meant god. god is in the details.
