madelabunky Is it difficult to pain wicker? I've got a medium/dark color wicker that I'd like to lighten. Love the uniqueness of the antique wicker that you painted.

ADEENI DESIGN GROUP It is hard to get into the crevices, so spraying works better. But one has to be careful not to get paint build-up in certain areas. We always want our clients to have durability and quality. Therefore we recommend using professional painters that will thoroughly clean the pieces, use the most appropriate paint and give you a perfect finish.

ADEENI DESIGN GROUP Thank you for the kind compliment. I always feel that clients should invest in a high quality sofa for comfort alone. And believe me, high quality sofas are more comfortable and last longer. This is a sun room that gets much less use than a living room or especially a family room.

So I would say that if you are sitting on a sofa every day for a period of time a fully upholstered sofa will give you more comfort and support in the back. If you love the look of antique wicker than I would go with a down-wrapped foam core seat and fitted tightly-filled down back cushions that cover the entire back. Also depth and slant are key, and some of the antique wicker pieces are a little more shallow and upright, so you won't get that desired depth and slant. It is a decision between aesthetics and comfort basically. Or perhaps you only bring wicker in with the chairs and go for a really fully upholstered comfortable sofa.

Hope this helps.
