These days, wit...That's a handsome room, Scot. These days, with the Internet giving almost everybody access to almost everything, it's easy for people to source cool things. What's hard for non-professionals is putting all those pieces together to create a coherent whole, not just a collection of cool-in-themselves "marquee pieces" that, because none of them is willing to take a back seat to the others, turns into a shouting match. As Frederick the Great said to Mozart, "Too many notes, too many notes!" Your decision to paint instead of stain was a good one.<br /><br />By the way, don't worry about pandering to your audience. That only applies to posts that please other people, but not me. As long as <i>I</i> like it, it's not pandering.

The larger one is a traditional 'Chesterfield' style while its mate is actually more of a settee. Both both are antique. The sofa belonged to the household long before I started the project - and the settee was sources here locally in San Francisco from Garden Court Antiques. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />ScotScot Meacham Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546913131597435214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881349691280291715.post-42356649430159100652013-03-21T13:07:18.890-07:002013-03-21T13:07:18.890-07:00GORGEOUS!!!

Love the leather Chesterfield sofas. Are they a pair? New or old? <br /><br />The choice of using fabric on the walls is brilliant, too, since it absorbs sound so much better. <br /><br />And explaining all the planning that goes into creating a successful room is so helpful. Too many people think anyone can be a decorator given a yardstick and a tax number!<br /><br />April, Just Verte StyleAprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16780344369996661285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881349691280291715.post-26224995968954881192013-03-20T18:10:17.819-07:002013-03-20T18:10:17.819-07:00 Stunning, inviting, comfortable, handsome.
