I have a Pottery Barn Charleston sofa in an 83 inch size that has been discontinued by Pottery Barn. I have searched eBay, but there are only slipcovers for the 96 inch sofa. I am looking for new slipcovers that will fit the 83 inch one. Is it possible to take the old slipcovers and mail them in to an online place and have them copy the pattern? I live in San Diego. Any other suggestions? I have called Pottery Barn and they are looking into whether it is possible to get this size, but they are really expensive from them. Thanks for your help.

We are remodeling out kitchen and will be adding a granite backsplash. What do I need to do to extend out the outlet/switch boxes? Are the extension box insert you can buy or a special type of box that I need to replace the existing ones with? Any advice would be greatly appreicated - thanks.

I am painting a room vintage merlot. The swatch looked lovely. I got a tinted primer and put one coat of that. I put 2 coats of paint so far and realize I probably need more. Where I overlapped with the roller is very noticeable. Also you can see a huge difference where I painted the edges and corners. How can I blend the edges and corners together with the walls? I painted all edges first with a brush then used a roller for the walls. Any suggestions?

Thanks

We want to buy a dishwasher on the internet. There are two colors to choose between, Aluminium and Stainless steel.
I looked at the pictures but couldn't decide which one looks better?
Do you have any suggestions? Which one is better to choose?
Thanks

I am moving in with my boyfriend and i have a full size bed and he has a queen he only has like one good set of sheets would it be bad if i bought some sets of sheets i mean i am going to be sleeping in the same bed with him so i should be comfortable too right? Would it be much if i brought my own dishes kitchen stuff and and towels and all my bathroom stuff he hasn't been living in his apartment long and doesn't have all that much would it be a bad idea? I want to make his apartment feel like home to me and my daughter. Is it too much to add my own little touches or should i just not even bother?

I've got this modern looking 9ft. couch. My fiancee and I joke that it has "death buttons" because we easily get snagged on the buttons. One came loose and I'm not sure how to resew it since the button has the stich hidden under the fabric. Any ideas?
Thanks so much in advance for your answers!

some idiot mistook my last question as being inappropriate so I will REPHRASE: Please provide websites where I can purchase a -ready to assemble- sofa, couch, chair, etc. Upholstered or just the framing.
I have bought a sofa, for under $400 and I like it alot, but am wondering if there are more sites to choose from SINCE I LOVE HAVING CHOICES. (IN THAT PRICE RANGE AND THAT 'S WHY I MENTIONED THE PRICE AND THE WEBSITE IN MY FIRST POST, since I like having CHOICES.)
and finally-to REPHRASE-
If you have been happy with YOUR experience with any ready to assemble living room/family room type furniture and are interested in possibly expanding the offerings in that market, please feel free to email me. IS THAT REALLY SO OFFENSIVE? I am not marketing anything here. I am asking for 1. Links 2. discussion about the current offerings in that market. I would love it if people could recommend a good brand of coffee, too, but that would be too many questions.

I only want the plasterwork which is in good condition and the garage door painted. The eaves are only about 20ft high but are PVc and don't need painting. I don't want the windows done either as they are PVC too. Basically its just the walls. I live in devon if that makes any difference.

Getting married August, so having a garden party at our own home. I have brought two Marques and have thought about balloons and ribbons, but really have no ideas...have thought about a dance area, but will it not be difficult to dance on grass????
Any decorating ideas or tips would be much appreciated as the web seems empty.
