Whoa, those Waterstone faucets are amazing!! There might be a little too much going on with that giant sprayer for me, though... But I LOVE the other traditional faucets they have. Their contemporary faucets have discreet pull down spouts. I don't understand why they don't offer something like that on their traditional faucets. And further, i don't understand why all of the other pull-downs have such gigantic heads!? I have seen some of the others you mention. I think my problem is this: some of them (the Kohler and Whitehaus, for example) have a very traditional styling to them, but they don't actually have an antique design. They just have traditional curves... The Waterworks, the Waterstones, and numerous others actually reproduce an antique design. I really like those hook spouts, I realize, and it seems the old faucets were always trim--nothing thick and bulbous... Does that make sense?

I thought my budget was reasonable too, but most of the sofas I see in that price range just look really cheap and poorly made. I have seen some that are good quality, but are very modern looking with the square arms and block feet. Do you think I could do a more modern sofa with my chairs (which are being scratched to death by the cat even as we speak)? Thanks for the options dee and yayagal. Those are lovely, but I should have mentioned that I have a real aversion to leather - not sure why. I should also mention that I'm in a small city in Canada so furniture prices are (I seem to be finding out) quite a bit higher. Here are links to a mid-priced brand of sofa many retailers carry here. If anyone has an inclination, have a look and see if there is anything that would go with my chairs. Here is a link that might be useful: van gogh sofas

I ended up with this shade. I took the advice of bringing it to the lighting center. I will stew on it for a bit & see how we like it. this room is a big work in progress. Thanks for the input!

aaronb192 I think I've found a few similar. They're all advertised on Kijiji, which is our version of Craigslist. I searched "French," "Provincial," "Ethan," and "antique," and came across several similar, none identical unfortunately. If any is what you're looking for, I'd recommend you approach the seller and include this conversation, so they realize you're for real, and then figure out shipping. If you offered to pay them with Paypal, and arranged for shipping, I don't see that there'd be a problem. You've got nothing to lose by asking! Here's the one I thought was most similar (bonus, you get two more pieces): https://www.kijiji.ca/v-couch-futon/mississauga-peel-region/three-piece-furniture-set-couch-love-seat-and-chair/1405352769?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Back to your earlier post of one ... did you try doing a google reverse image search? Google will tell you how to do it - it looks like an old ebay listing. Maybe try posting a wanted ad on Ebay and Craigslist, including all the terms I listed above, plus any more you can think of? Off to see if I can find my old Ethan Allen catalogue! I can't believe how unhelpful they were, geesh. Why aren't their catalogues digitized and available to the public, I wonder? Even if they charged for access.
