Out of the choices Above I'd say BM is your best bet. Behr products are too watered down and their white is more of a gray so that effects the way the colors comes out when tinted. Stay away from SW they are a bit better than behr but they over price for the amount of TITO in their paint as well. BM offers a beautiful color selection and has an exellent product. HOWEVER I would love to put Dunn Edwards in the running here. We have an amazing selection of nearly 2,000 colors (not mention custom color mathces we can do), a superior paint product and a FREE Professional Color Advisor service (that's me) . Plus we have a ton of "kill test" listed on our website and in our store comparing each of our products to the competition. (: but like I said BM is a nice choice!

Bereniek: nother interesting article: "According to a report by the Christian Science Monitor, March 2006, staged homes sell for 7.4 percent more and twice as fast." Here is a link that might be useful: Home Staging Your Vacant House Actually that article is of no interest because the woman appears to be a stager of sorts. The CSM article may be promising. Hopefully I can view the article and determine the source data. I wish the first article didn't rely so heavily on home builders and marketers. They have an definite monetary interest in their provided data. I think what I need to search out is the raw, unbiased data of a marketer. But then I wonder if the marketer can be unbiased if they are trying to sell a marketing strategy? And, I wonder if it would be obtainable? It is a quandary. Thanks for some leads, Berniek. I appreciate the effort.

I am looking to replace a 16(!) year old Rowe sofa. The sofa itself is still in great structural condition. It's a sleeper but I am replacing with a non sleeper. We had some damage to the fabric (bleach got on one of the attached back cushions) otherwise we would not need to replace. I've been very happy with the Rowe sofa, and so the easiest thing seems to be to replace it with another Rowe. I'm planning to get a more updated style (track arms vs round to offer more seating for the same size) and this time want loose back cushions for ease of washing and flipping them. I've also found some sofas we've liked at room and board, and on wayfair through their custom upholstery program or dwell studio line (which appears to be made by klaussner). I have also looked at interior define online manufacturer. I don't need top of the line. This is for a family room and I do have elementary aged children but the Rowe has held up just fine over the past many years of kids, 8 moves, etc and still going strong. I would like to stay around $2000 for the sofa and also plan to get a matching or coordinating chair. i haven't been able to sit on all the different sofas I am looking at- even the Rowe dealers I've been to don't have every model on the floor. From sitting in a bunch of sofas I've gotten an idea of the things important to me such as depth (looking for 23-24" seat depth). There are just so many options, I'm feeling overwhelmed and indecisive! Any input?
