Opinions WANTED!! Yes You!!
Comments (14)CJ, I think pretty much every bamboo listed so far has been a clumper. As for my top 10, there are 8 on my wish list, the other 2 were recently aquired. I should have them all by next year, at which time I promised my wife no more. All are based on looks...I really like tropical clumpers with stripes. Some are more expensive than others depending on "collector" value, but I'm hoping to get a few in trade. Also, temp considerations are a must as they need to be able to survive my "cold" Jacksvonille winters without having to come indoors.

Comments (3)My opinion is that that pattern is way too busy for a sofa. Of course, taste is subjective, and ultimately what matters is what you want in your living room. But my own sense of that fabric is that it would be better maybe for a couple of throw pillows on the sofa. I tend to like more conservative fabric for sofas, then use pillows and throws to make the sofa decorative. Personally, I think it looks better, but there is also a practical reason for that, which is that, it is a lot easier and less expensive to switch out pillows and throws than it is to recover a sofa if your style changes. And going with an unusual pattern like the one in the photo raises the risk of that happening, ie: the sofa can look outdated pretty quickly. Don't know what the room looks like, obviously, in which this sofa is going, but if it were me, I'd probably find a conservative, but somewhat textured (i.e.: herringbone, tight railroad pattern) fabric that matches the brown of the twig-like part of the design in that fabric...or perhaps that blue, which is a beautiful blue (but blues can be difficult to match), and use this fabric on a couple of pillows....See MoreOpinions on backsplash (yes, one more)!
Comments (26)With the style of the cabinets, your bar light, and the country feel of your home, you could use a schoolhouse pendant. Pottery Barn's comes in 8" and 11" in a choice of color and a metal rod. Many companies make them however. It would be easy to keep clean too.

Comments (2)Have you priced out any designers? Or are you assuming? You may be able to afford a couple hours with a local designer to get some ideas on paper etc. It may be all you need to get things rolling. I understand if you would prefer the full-service. I just find it hard to do something so personal through an online service....See MoreRedRyder
