This is like some language I don't know igloochic. :) My brother has a natuzzi and he isnt that happy with it for some reason. I think rosesstink just suggested I give my DH a time out. :) that made my morning. I have to say, I used to get upset. The spills on the floor, the rips on things, I can not believe I am typing this because it makes it real, but the fact that when I asked DH to hang the pictures in my DR recently he accidently hit my mothers crystal ball with the HAMMER! and I still do get upset fleetingly, but I realized I could either learn to live with it, or get divorced. He happens to be wonderful in many other ways, and takes such good care of our son, that I decided to learn to live with it. :) He just doesn't get it. Well, he does to a point. I didnt' find out about the entire container of V-8 juice that was spilled on my rug until a couple days after he did such a good job cleaning it up. I think it took him hours. I couldn't remember your screen name srg215, but I have become obsessed with that sectional and it is your fault! I am going to move the sofas we have to you can't walk through the opening mimicking a sectional and see how we do for a few days.

Beautiful, cozy, elegant! My black soapstone just came in. My cabinets are a very light maple shaker style. Appliances all Stainless steal. I will have an island. It's time to paint my newly sheet rocked walls. I'm leaning toward white with a different white for trim and ceilings but there are so many whites I can't decide. I am worried about making it too cold and sterile. Also thinking of a very slight gray perhaps on one walls. The kitchen has decent light but not great. The entry near sliding door has raja slate. I do not have high ceilings but they are 11 ft. It is not completely open to living room but partially open to dining room. Backsplash will be white sub tile. Any suggestions for paint color. We like clean, crisp, minimalist looks with straight lines but also cozy. Thanks for any suggestions!

Here is the furniture moved and I certainly can do that . I had it like that for a while and I don’t know how much the family was digging it. The loveseat people are hoping for something to put their feet on and the sofa people would like an ottoman. This arrangement still didn’t seem to work for them to share. It also does make the living room look smaller which is not a bad thing, just something I noticed How about one of those large upholstered ottomans that do double duty? This way both can put their feet up. The important thing with seating is making it easy for everyone to be able to converse without having to shout across the room. Once everything is in, with the excellent help from grover for extras, I think you'll all be much more comfortable with the arrangement.

*UPDATE* to my initial Gabriel chair and ottoman comment. Once I got a human on the phone (you must email and leave phone messages before you get a human), it was the quality control gal. I don't know if she is a manager or supervisor, but quality control is her niche. She listened to every word of my concern, and she found my issue to be totally understandable and worthy of remediation. She offered that I keep my pieces, wait on all new slip covers that she will have observed for quality, and then I will return the original covers once I get the replacements. The issue is that the fabric is not the quality or color that I received in the swatch I ordered before I purchased the furniture. I pre ordered a swatch of jasmine rice, which was soft, rich in color, and the weave was noticeable. The fabric that came to me on the furniture pieces is rough, lighter in color, and tight weave without space in the weave. She explained that dye and fabric processing may not be consistent, so she affirmed my concern and was quick to provide a solution. I was mind blown. The respect I received made me nostalgic of yesteryear's customer service. I haven't been treated with such proper customer since before the globalist insanity infected our culture in 2016, after which we began being treated like scum peasants by anyone whose job it is to provide service to paying patrons. Currently, I am waiting for the slip covers, and I will update this review when I see the quality of the fabric. I hope things work out, because I'd like to purchase other pieces. NOW, ABOUT THE GABRIEL CHAIR (THIS PROBABLY GOES FOR THE SOFA AS WELL) - LISTEN UP. The website says the seat height is 17.5 inches. In reality, it is no more than 16. I suggest adding padding under the seat cushion for a bit of height, because the chair base dips down.
