We are thinking about getting this Albany Park sectional for our living room. Since we aren’t local to the company, we can’t see it in person before purchase, so I’m looking for reviews.

Swaps in the Albany Area??
Comments (19)Hi, everyone! It's adkmountaingirl checking in. I think I can speak for lnmp and myself (right, lnmp?) when I say we're interested in another swap this year. First, I think we owe many thanks to shimla for getting the whole ball rolling and taking on the responsibility for planning our swap the first year and, then with fairydancer's help, last year also. It was definitely a big undertaking for just one person, so fairydancer's idea of having a committee help her plan the exchange would make it so much more manageable and fun for those involved! We have to acknowledge that we have no control over the weather...it can be anything from cool and rainy to hotter than hades (as it was last year). It's pretty much a crap shoot, so a shelter or tent or something like that would help us be prepared, no matter what the weather. I got to last year's exchange late so didn't really have a chance to socialize since people had already eaten and were already taking plants out to their cars. That's the part I liked so much from the first exchange...getting to know people whose posts we have been reading for awhile, connecting their GW name with a face. I met so many local gardeners ~ that was wonderful ! And since then, I've exchanged plants and advice with them. I also made a really good friend from that first year's forum, and I treasure our friendship. Whoops, getting off the topic. I live way up north, so I think I am probably only 1 of 2 gardeners (hi, want_to_retire_did!) who live above Saratoga... so I will wait until some other location suggestions have been made. I know no one would want to drive all the way up here...LOL...it IS a very long drive! Trying wintersowing for the first time this year, so hopefully I'll have babies to bring (keeping my fingers crossed ~ we'll see!) So keep up the great work, fairydancer and committee!! Unfortunately because of a very demanding job, I can't help with the planning, but I will definitely be attending. THINK SPRING, EVERYONE!!! adkmountaingirl...See MorePlease review my 'much easier to read' plan
Comments (46)Scrapbookheaven- I like the red, too! That's Andi's kitchen, but the red is so cheerful :) Pay it forward- Thank you. I really love the plan, it has everything we could possibly want. That being said, I finally talked to my contractor today and while we could probably do the bigger plan, it is going to be much more difficult to add on the bedroom wing to the exisiting house. So, I'm rethinking my slightly smaller plan, which is also very cute, but a little more compact. That being said, if anyone can use any ideas from this bigger plan, please feel free to do so! It's a lovely plan, but I've been rethinking the size...and the upkeep. Plus, a smaller/less expensive home would mean more money and energy for my gardens! LOL Summerfield- You are amazing and I NEVER would have gotten this far, without all your help. You are a wonderful person and I want you to know how much I appreciate your patience, ideas and talent. My contractor is completely smitten with your software and wants to know when/if it will be available, to the public :)...See MoreIkea Kitchen Plan - Review Request!
Comments (15)Lisa, funny you asked about the configuration of the pantry because I am actually unsure about how I want several of the drawer stacks to be set up! I originally thought I would do 5-10-15 for all of them but laid awake just last night thinking that there was probably a better configuration for several of them. I'm now actually leaning toward 5-5-10-10 in a couple of places. And I left the pantry with the 15-15 bottom drawers and then 2 internal drawers as the planner showed. I'm thinking it will be mostly for renters use, so I have no idea if that will work well or if there is a better way! Since we have the owners closet/pantry, that is where we will store most of our food. There will be open shelves to the left of the range also which could be good for renters to store food. Finally, I was thinking that both the 21" upper cabinet on the left end of the window wall and the 30" drawer stack below it could be for food like cereal, snacks, etc. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts about the best storage options! If I order before the sale ends, I was planning to order only the frames for several cabinets that I am unsure of. Then I can use the gift card later to add the drawers and fronts for those units. A few other things I want to mention and get everyone's thoughts - first, the cabinet I have for the prep sink is a smidgen too small for the sink I want and will require the front edges of the frame to be notched to allow for the sink lip. We did this in our regular kitchen (also frameless cabinets) to squeeze in a small second sink and it was no big deal. Its either that or give up 3" of passageway space leading into the kitchen. WWYD? Also, I'm surprised no one commented on the wide "filler" pieces at the ends of the uppers on window wall. I really want DH to build me some of those cubby cabinets to go there - one for wine glasses, and one for coffee mugs. Ikea has them but they are a bit too wide and they don't look very well made to me. The other option would be to move the glass cabinets away from the window frame to eliminate some of the filler space. Thoughts? Thanks!...See Morelooking for real reviews of Pottery Barn Turner Leather soda
Comments (55)So i have the Turner Square arm sofa in the 103.5” length in burnished saddle. I purchased for $500 from a friend who was redecorating and it was like new. Score! My conplaints (and fixes) for the sofa are as follows: 1) The aofa sits very low to the floor. My husband has promised to fashion new legs and I already have had the stain on the old ones matched at Sherwin Williams. Just waiting for hubby… 2) The back cushions that are leaned against most frequently become flat and misshapen very quickly. The best fix for this is to purchase inexpensive poly filled bed pillows from Walmart and, depending on how much you need, either place the whole pillow inside or remove some of he fill and reshape by adding this to your cushions. New cushions from PB were cost prohibitive when I looked into it. 3) The leather does scratch easily. We acquired a large ragdoll cat (15 lbs) dueing Covid quarantine and didnt realize the issue until after. Keep those nails trimmed! My husband has a leather refinisher that can make the leather like new but most scratches are on the back non-cushioned portion of the sofa and the cat still exists, so we haven’t taken the sofa in at this point. Tips: I clean my cushions with distilled water and a soft cloth as needed and remove cushions and vacuum all of thr fabric on sofa weekly. What I love about the sofa: 1) It’s VERY deep. I’m 5’4 and can sit indian style or curl up comfortably on less than 1 cushion! My husband and I can lay side by side to watch a movie. Usually I end up being slowly pushed off a sofa in these circumstances, but not with this sofa. 2) It’s incredibly comfortable! It’s hard not to fall asleep on this sofa y’all! My husband spent a week on it when I had covid and vice versa (we don’t have a guest room and this sofa is so much more comfortable than the fold out in the bonus room lol!). 3) The extra long sofa means more peeps can sit comfortably. It’s also great in a loooonnngg living room like ours. 4) The style! The sofa is gorgeous, enough said. It can go traditional, boho, traditional, modern, cottage, farmhouse, etc. I don’t think I would have been AS happy if i had paid the full 3500 for the sofa. I probably would have gone with a lighter color, but I would purchase the sofa knowing what I do now, in a lighter color, if this deal had not fallen in my lap. Hope this helps!!...See More

7 months agolast modified: 7 months agoWish I had seen this thread before I ordered my couch too. We had to wait an extra month on top of the extended time it was going to take to ship. I understand they can't control that but when the couch
arrived it's a completely different fabric than what is advertised in the Pictures. And for whatever reason you can't even order a swatch in the color I bought. The one I received is more of a chenille soft shiny fabric and the website has more of a herringbone sturdy fabric?? Hoping to hear from customer service sooncstreber
