I have RL Suede in a couple rooms. I had to call their CS department once about a different question, so I tossed in one about repainting someday. CS rep told me just prime and paint with standard latex. I was going to try that out on a scrap piece of drywall but never did. When 'someday' comes, I'll probably sand it smooth first. (Much as I've enjoyed the suede paint, I dread that job!)

THANK YOU to everyone who commented on how to get HD to look up and convert the old RL paint formulas into their current stock of PPG or Glidden. You saved me tears, time, and stress in finding another company's match to the timeless, and in my opinion, best paint color palette there ever was (Ralph Lauren). So so sad to see them go, but how fortunate that HD still has all their color formulas!! Today was a huge win for my home remodel! Thank you!

Beautiful choices, beautiful room. Lucky you have a RL Home store so close and got such great deals. BTW, I think I'd hang the hunting print near the chair. Don't blame you for not wanting to get rid of the boat oil, but that space just begs for the hunt print. But maybe it needs a wider frame? It's hard to tell in the photo just how it might fit in the space.

I always found him incredibly boring, and I very much disliked his "preppy" style - especially the shirts with the stupid polo ponies on them. I lived in San Francisco when these were popular - among the bourgeois crowd, with whom I had little in common. Anyway, just not my then, then or now. Recently, we had a production manager at work who had just come from Ralph Lauren furniture, and I did not get along with this PM at all. He was very bossy and asked me if I wanted him to be my supervisor instead of the boss I already had, who was the owner of the company. He wanted to be able to tell me what to do, but when he did, I told him that he would have to get approval from his boss, who was also my boss. Needless to say, we clashed a lot. He also considered himself to be a designer, but instead of coming up with original designs, he copied designs from Jean-Michel Frank, which I proved to my boss. I'm sure this did not endear me to him, but there was nothing he could do about it. My original designs did get produced instead of his counterfeits.
