Fairytalebaby: It's the Maytag Gemini. Yes it is a double oven and we like it a lot. I only wish that I would have purchased the gas model and had a gas line run. :( I think I prefer gas cooking and the top may be easier to keep clean. The top ove heats up super quickly and is great when you are in a hurry. :) We are working on replacing the other appliance to match it. We just recently purchased the Maytag Ice2O and love it.

I am definitely putting in a zipper, and luckily, all I know how to install is an invisible zipper! I never got the hang of the little flappy thing that covers a zipper, much to my mother's dismay. clt3, I took another look at the pillow with the corner ties (from Mrs. Howard, btw). I think you are right. Rats! It was going to be so much easier to sew a tie into the corner rather than leaving the corner free! I may still just sew it into the corner. I can't get my head around having to have cording at the corners without a flange, but yet it would need a flange to sew into the seam allowance around the rest of the pillow. Way too complex for me!

Yes, its possible to make your interior what you love...modern Mediterranean means what to you? Provide pics of a room or rooms you want to start with and create an ideabook with inspiration pics. Heres just a few pics... to me it means high contrast ie white walls with dark wood pieces like perhaps a dark wood coffee table with curved legs, wrought iron but simple lines, not ornate, simple lines in furniture, colorful pillows, large pieces of pottery, cyprus, olive trees, lemon trees

The photos of the bench are really small. The black one looks grey-ish, which I don't care for, and the brown bench is not so very brown. If you do black, it should really be black, and if you do brown, it should be a rich chocolate brown. I also don't favor the woven strips of leather. They are not very sturdy and tend to give way to people's weight over the years. That bench will tend to have a lot of use with people of all sizes sitting on it to put on and off their shoes and boots. An upholstered or reinforced bench or ottoman covered in leather will be far sturdier.
