What is your advice on uphostering a sofa with a high end microfiber called Sensuede or with a chenille? I have to make a decision this week. Does chenille tend to pill? How durable is chenille? I know the Sensuede brand of microfiber is really durable, so that's a huge plus, and it's so soft to the touch.

I have the fabric swatches here. Sensuede's cleaning code is S (solvent) or W (water), whereas the chenille's cleaning code is S.

I tried cutting the corners into sections so that when I fold it downwards to cover the sides it wont bulge, but the end result is not nice to look at. The cut edges were eye sores. I wonder how the makers of computer tables did it since all curved sides were smoothly covered. I was thinking that maybe there is pattern to follow when covering curved sides. please help me.

Can I use cellotapes, but they peel off the paint. How about glue or anything else?

I absolutely LOVE the Fall season, and I start putting out my fall garlands, pumpkins, and apple cider candles around the last week of August/First Week of September. Also, Christmas is my favorite Holiday, and I start decorating the house in the first week of November. I am curious to know when others begin decorating, and if anyone else loves that time of year as much as I do!

I've finally decided to do it, repaint my room! I'm just not sure which color to pick...

my comforter is from victoria's secret. it has white and light pink polkadots on one side, and on the other side it has light pink and white stripes. The outside trim of the comforter is a light green.

if you go to the victoria's secret website,click sleepwear, and then click bedding, you'll see it.


I reallly LOVE bright colors, especially blues and my furniture is a dark brown.

any suggestions??

thanks!

Starting on the Kitchen and Dining Room now. Are most people painting all rooms the same color and just using different color accents or do most people like each room to be a different color?

One wall is actually on the side where part of the roof comes down. If I hang the shower curtain so that it's level, my head and shoulders are above the curtain. Is there a way I could install a flange to hold the curtain up on the sloped wall that will make it level w/the other wall? Help!

She custom made curtains for me and charged me VERY little. I will be giving her more business as well. She took an existing curtain and changed the valances for me on two windows and charged me $150 (including spending time to come over and discuss and measure, making the valances and spending time to come over and hang them). In addition, she took a shower curtain and made it into a bathroom curtain for me and charged $20.

The wall that's being put in is "over" the staircase on one side. Putting up the sheetrock in the room won't be a problem, but what is the best way to hang the sheetrock on the stair side without having to try to manipulate a ladder over the stairs?

I like Kincaid and Thomasville, but I have no idea what other brands have similar quality and design. I don't want to trot around to all kinds of different stores finding out what I like. It would be nice to just browse their websites and figure out what I like, then go to a showroom to see in person. Any ideas?
