Has anyone ever used Behr Verdigris paint for the exterior of their house? I'm looking for a good blue/green color. Thanks!

busybee, makes a really good point. I consulted with a designer for my front living room, which we use to watch the large TV. Furniture placement is limited due to a large triple window, corner fireplace and large opening into the foyer. We had placed our old full size sofas into the room when we first moved in and the corner fireplace was a problem. Never was a fan of sectionals, but it looked like that would be the best fit for this room and the way we were using it. That designer kept insisting I should go with a sofa, loveseat and floating swivel chairs in front of the TV. In the end I followed my gut feelings and ordered a custom sized sectional (9' x 13') that fit the space exactly how I measured it out, with enough room for a side table at one end and making sure it did not crowd the fireplace at the other end. We have growing teen boys (one is 6ft) and the sectional allows 4 adults to sit very comfortably for TV watching. It can fit 7 ladies when I'm hosting something. The few things I dislike/hate are the ones I let a designer talk me into buying ... A friend let her designer take control of measuring and sizing and she ended up with an 8-person table that only seats 6 comfortably and not enough knee space at the ends for my tall friend. Their sectional also doesn't fit their family of 4.

I have Conestoga cabinets and added a Rev-A-Shelf under the sink. It was a bit iffy if the options Conestoga had available would fit, so GC and I decided to buy locally once the cabinet, sink, etc was installed. I wouldn't expect you'd have issues with aftermarket Rev-A-Shelf as long as the kitchen is designed around the specs. Also wanted to give a high-five, because that was my main inspiration pic too! Love it!

I have an old art deco bed with a 12" deep headboard (it has a bookcase or niche or whatever you wanna call it) and about 8" of footboard, waterfall style with big chunky feet. To fit it in a tiny guest room, I bought a plain metal frame and stuck the footboard and rails in a closet. Didn't even attach them as the headboard can stand on its own. I think the very tall guest appreciates it. That footboard isn't very big. Just try it out and if it doesn't work, put the extra parts in the attic. :) Or....find a vintage bed like this one is trying to copy. It'll be better quality and you won't feel like you paid full price for a bunch of extra parts.
