cost of an upholstered headboard does this sound correct?
Comments (14)thanks to all of you for the kindness, replies and suggestions. I really thank you. So many of the headboards were lovely. I guess I wanted a tufted headboard because I thought it would make an elegant statement. it is for a guest bedroom. I'd like to ask if Shabby Chic is dated or is it still popular? I have funds to purchase some shabby chic furniture or I have a nice cherry dresser and i could look for some nice end tables to position near the bed and have more of a Southern Living look. Any thoughts on some good websites to review as far as those two looks? My home is basically a second home on the coast and I want to make it welcoming to friends and guests. I have the bare bones completed but need to look for rugs and panels/draperies as I have nothing absorbing the sound.... hard to carry on a conversation. I don't r need a lot of draperies as i have plantation shutters throughout the house. One lady told me about a site called www.curtainexchange. Has anyone ever had an experience with them? I hope it is okay to post that site. I just wondered if someone out there could help me. I am running out of steam making decisions. Thanks for reading the post .........and yes, like everyone else I am on a budget looking for something tasteful but yet won't break the bank. Again, thanks to all that replied. dixied...See MoreStair runner dilemma
Comments (22)I think your installer is full of it trying to pass that off as "correct". Chicagoan's mock up clearly shows how it should look. No one would look at that and think 'the runner isn't centered on the lower stairs'. It's obvious the newel post intrudes into the space on those 2 stairs - your brain does not register that as the runner is off center. It's a re-do and I don't think this should be on your dime even if the runner has to be scrapped and re-purchased. If nothing else, your hand rail is on the right and most people will walk up the stairs closer to the rail so the placement of the runner now is dangerous....See MoreRemove Stair Cove Molding to Install Runner?
Comments (26)Gorgeous! I think everyone would agree they want to see more of your house. We removed an antique staircase and put it in our new home. Your contractor is correct the cove moulding is not easy to remove and will be severly damaged if removed. More than likely it was handmade. We can not find a replacement for our cove moulding. It was brittle when we removed it and we used extreme care. We will either have to make it ourselves with a router or pay big money for someone else to custom make it. I would keep the trim and find a way to put the runner on the staircase. We live in the Northwest part of Missouri I honestly wouldnt be able to tell the difference between the too styles of carpeted tread cover, they both look like covered treads. Your moulding is also curved so that increases the cost of replication if you ever changed your mind. I would definitely keep it. Not many people can fabricate/craft moulding like that any longer....See MoreRecent Remodel - Stair Replacement - Does this Look Correct?
Comments (15)For the stringer-side gaps, you could overlap a new stair skirt board on both stringer sides (involved carpentry skills, but doable), as long as you retain the required clear width between stringers. For the riser gap, typically you could intall a new thin riser fascia over the old. However, since it appears there is only an 1/8" nosing overhang the size of the tread radius, an overlay fascia isn't possible. And if it's a sizable gap replacing the riser won't work either. Note that if your tread is less than 11", then you must have a nosing overhang of min 3/4". If you removed the quarter round, measured gaps and all the stair measurements regarding code, I'm sure there are a few of us here who could walk you through getting this right. However, you should just hire a different, competent finish carpenter (one who does stairs) to do this....See MoreM M
