For years now, Behr's THREADED GOLD has served me well. It is like having sunshine on the walls--it says welcome home! I've used it in various rooms in several houses, with the first use in a cave-like kitchen. It did not shine in that application (the room had no windows, just pass throughs to rooms which did have windows). In that same house, I rag rolled it on in a southwest facing study, room size 8 x 9, and it instantly made the walls disappear like I was walking through sunshine. It responds to the presence of sunlight. Since that time, THREADED GOLD is my go-to color for kitchen and dining. Now, I have it on kitchen, dining, and sitting room which are open to one another. I consider this color a soft yellow ochre, an earthy yellow. I avoid harsh chrome yellows, which probably serve well for lacquered surfaces. I wish my camera would take true color shots, but neither my smartphone camera nor the Kindle camera are accurate for color renditions. Perhaps the Nikon would be, if I could find it, but everything is packed away for our remodel still in progress. In fact, the painters left today after touching up their whole-house paint job, behind the trim installed by the finish carpenters. Right now, everything is in perfect shape but with no furniture to speak of, no kitchen installed, etc. Wall color shows better with other color around it, including wood trim and floors. I took pictures just now. Want to remind you of one thing though. When you have a light bulb around your yellow, be sure it is not a cool white, which has a blue tinge to it....your nice pure yellow walls will show a green tint. Taken today...

I just stuffed our stockings. It's gotten a lot harder as our kids have gotten older. Oldest DS (19) never did give us a list. He said he doesn't need anything. Middle DS gave us a few things. DD did give us a short list, although all she really wanted was this very expensive cell phone that we won't do. It was so much easier shopping for them at Toys R Us when they were younger!

Suggest to unzip the back of the seat cushion and pull the foam out. Place the foam back in the seat. Raise the height of sofa by putting about 1 1/2" to 2" thick board or something under the legs. Then try the seat, if your still going into seat, then remove the foam and press on the seat base using about 1/2 your body weight. The seat shouldnt press down more than 2", if it does thats as much as your problem as the seat cushion.
