granite slab outdoor storage - safe for indoor use?
Comments (3)Thanks, Patricia - I became concerned because I read that stone should be stored inside. And in my US metropolitan area -- east coast, milder climate but with freezing temperatures at night all winter -- more are stored inside than outside -- only remnants like the ones I buy are stored outside. The indoor storage areas are not heated, however, so maybe the freezing kills everything -- I will ask that they be brought inside before it warms up this spring. Charlene -- thanks for the insight -- I have been carrying around a small sample and store it both in my garage/car/house. The sample appears to be free of organisms!...See MoreRequesting upholstery fabric suggestions for vintage sofa
Comments (6)The sofa actually appears to be in a style quite popular today. With the blue rug, I suggest you recover the sofa in a cream or taupe, whatever the neutral color in the rug is. Add a blue pillow or two to pick up the rug color, and perhaps a cream colored lamb skin pillow for texture. If you have children, or even if you don't, choosing a performance fabric (Sunbrella and others) will save you worries and woes. A linen like weave, but not real linen, or a canvas type fabric are two of my favorite looks....See MoreNeed help with upholstery fabric sources

Comments (8)I have a built in banquette in my kitchen that gets intense sunlight on it all day. For this reason we upholstered the cushions with exterior grade fabrics that have built in UV protection. They look great and hopefully will last much longer....See MoreCarolyn Albert-Kincl, ASID
