Couch Sliding on Wood Floors Like Roller Skates!
Comments (1)We have used the little rubber-backed wooden "furniture coasters" (package of 4 is about $5 at Home Depot or Walmart) with no problems on our prefinished wood floors. The flooring store also carried them but they wanted a ridiculous amount for them. We found the cork ones slid almost as much as the bare furniture legs....See MoreFloor lamp on rollers?
Comments (4)I wasn't really thinking of a light with an arm, just a regular lamp. It's just the overall light I want to flood the room, not like direct task lighting. Yanno? But the cord "could" be a problem, but probably not that big a deal.... Thanks!...See MoreArc lamp over sectional or more traditional floor lamp?
Comments (36)Hi Clare/CDR Design (and all): I hope you are doing well! I hope you don't mind me reaching out again. I apologize I never replied or thanked you for the last post you wrote. Just recently I decided to start "obsessing" over the look of our living room AGAIN and what it is that drives me nuts. And, holy cow, the changes you suggested made most of my angst about my living room cease! First, changing the direction of the rug...wow! That made the world of difference! It made it seem bigger and finally more cohesive. The rug "or something I couldn't put my finger on" seemed so out of place and wrong. Just that little change did the trick and now it's not so annoying to look at for me. :) I would have never thought about the rug direction if it wasn't for you. So, thank you!! Second, I moved the couch forward and away from the wall. Looks SO much better! I wish I could get a different couch b/c it is so big and I don't like the color however that will have to stay for now. Third, I was inspired by your rendering of the living room you designed and shared with me so I moved the arc lamp over the leather chair in the corner and "I think" it looks good?! Fourth, will def add a console behind the couch instead of a floor lamp! LOVE that idea! Fifth, I moved the orange chair to the left of the fireplace and removed the blue chair however, the orange chair is a bit smaller and seems insignificant and a little odd in that corner (maybe b/c it really doesn't match any of the colors in the rug/room). :) The blue chair just seems like a better fit in that corner (to me). And, there is still room for the orange chair in the other corner even though I moved the couch forward a bit. My kids told me that the couch was too close to the TV when I moved it forward even more than it is now. I think it was b/c they had to crane their necks a bit (hence your wondering if we could move the TV to the other wall...) b/c it is a little high. WIth all of that said, I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for all of your suggestions! You hit the nail on the head with all of them and were the first person who actually gave me thoughtful and helpful advice! I have asked a lot of friends (many talented decorators in their own homes but not professionally) for their opinions and no one ever gave me such solid advice and recommendations as you. You truly are so gifted!! And have the most amazing vision! Clare, you have brought me this far - I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me finish this project so that I can FINALLY look at this room and think, "YES!" I love this!" I need to be done thinking so much about it! LOL! If you do not have time, then please no worries at all! I am so appreciative of all the advice you have given me already! I'll include my questions here just so you have them and then include pics of the room as it is now in another post but again, please no worries if you aren't able to answer them at this time. 1) Would a different, more neutral rug pull the room together more? Or should I keep the current one I have and work with it? 2) Arch lamp over chair? I also have one that has a gold metal 12" shade that I haven't put together yet. If you like arch lamp over chair instead of the tree next to the chair, metal or white shade? 3) Do I need another arch lamp in the other corner? If so, matching? If not, table lamp or no lamp? 4) Material of console in back of couch? Wood, black, gold metal? Thinking an 8" or 10" W and at least 56" length? 5) PILLOWS!!! My biggest dilemna. There are so many options and I don't know if I should stick with blue/cream/white or add another color!? Thank you SO much for taking the time to read this (if you do) and for everything!!...See MoreLow VOC Roller shades for chemically sensitive folk?
Comments (0)We were all set to buy new roller shades for our remodel when I realized I forgot to check about off-gassing potential. We have two chemically sensitive family members and learned our lesson last year with the purchase of a George Nelson Bubble Lamp. That beautiful lamp has been sitting by an open window in the living room for a year, yet STILL smells of PVC or whatever—too stinky to install. (Design Within Reach suggested leaving it outside a few days, but that did little to ease the fumes.) I've been looking into low/no-VOC shades, but figured I'd check with the Houzz-O-Sphere to see if anyone here has real-life experience and/or solutions for this? We are fortunate to be in coastal SoCal, where we keep many windows open year round, but still I don't want to be surprised when the shades arrive. We DO want to do roller shades—not curtains, wood blinds, roman shades or other types of window coverings. We'll do one exterior shade over our widest slider, so that one isn't such an issue. Thanks!...See MoreRelated Professionals
