Comments (13)Hooker has some decent pieces which i've used with clients who needed a few "filler" pieces and didn't want to spend as much - Stanley also is great, as is Lexington. You could look at Crate & Barrel - even though their quality isn't quite the same, you are only using it seasonally it will still last. I'm sure they do use MDF and whatnot in their pieces, but if price is your primary concern...Ethan Allen is good but it's not much cheaper than some custom brands. Here's what I could suggest - contact a designer local to that area - tell them you would like to buy for the whole house and what your budget is total. Ask them if they can help you with purchasing only - they may be able and willing to do this if they do not have to do a lot of design work and let you buy at lower prices. I have done this for a client who wanted to buy furniture for a vacation home in my area which was a 4,000 sq ft home. He didn't want any design work really just basic floor planning. He sent me the key and a contract and I made furniture available to him at only 20% markup which fit his budget. I told him he would have to do the rest of the design work or pay additional fees....See MoreSunbrella fabric for indoor furniture
Comments (52)Update to our purchase: During 2020 lockdown, we let an older couple rent our vacation condo for 9 months as they were worried about traceling back up north. i swear they didnt clean ANYTHING the entire time they were there which left my white Sunbrella sofa and loveseat filthy from their bodies and spills. i called the store we bought the sofas from and they told me to try plain water and a few drops of Dawn dish soap in a squirt bottle. if that didnt work, throw the cushion covers in the wash. i should have just thrown the covers in the washer, but theyre so hard to get back on, i was trying to avoid thag st all cost. After SEVEN cleanings, i finally got the fabric back to an acceptable state. (ignore comments from cleaning service) All of that being said, if i ever had to buy furniture for a rental again, I’d weight the pros and cons. Cleaning is easy if you do it right away. But after 9 months of nasty people on it, not as easy. Sunbrella is expensive, but so is professional cleaning every time a renter leaves or buying new furniture. i would probably buy cheaper furniture and replace it as needed....See MoreDoes anyone else like to rehab or repurpose furniture ?
Comments (12)My technic is whatever works! This one I sprayed flat black,sanded the black with a fine sanding block, then waxed it with my own homemade wax. But I love chalk paint and that's what I use a lot. But my DIL wanted a Pottery Barn look. So i went with the flat black. . I make my own wax. I started doing this because well, I'm cheap. I like nice things, good quality,but I'm cheap. I couldn't see spending 25$ for a can of ASCP wax which I did, once. So I researched waxes. Very simple to make. 1 lb of raw beeswax 5 cups of mineral oil. Go to goodwill get a big cheap cooking pot,turn on your oven to 300 degrees, take the wax outside wack it into 3 or 4 chunks, melt it in the oven. When melted add the mineral oil. Stir it about every 10-15 minutes as it starts to cool and thicken keep stirring, when its so you can handle the pot and the wax is about the consistency of cook oatmeal pour or scoop it into some containers, I use small metal loaf pans I but at GW for .25 cents. You can make dark wax by adding a tiny, tiny amount of any color Gel Stain to it. Experiment. I only use about 1/2 cup of wax at a time. I use an empty yogurt container and mix my colored waxes in them. I also make my own chalk paint. 2 cups flat paint 2/3 cup of calcium carbonate or plaster of Paris, mix the CC or POP with a little bit of warm water then add to your paint. Stir well....See MoreCouch I haven't sat on: Alfred (IT) vs Graham (USA)?
Comments (7)There are no other furniture stores in your area? Working in a furniture store I have seen many warranty claims, they are way more common than you think. It's also so important to be able to sit on it, things are never the same. I also often tell clients that when you want to keep it many years sometimes you have to let fit and comfort trump style. If I were you I would look into other stores and their offerings. You may also want to see if other stores in your area carry these brands and have the sofa you're looking at (the store may have it they just call it by a different name so have item numbers available if possible) it may also be worth it to drive a ways to be able to see it and sit on it. Also, with the pictures the sofas already look a little worn and frumpy which says to me it won't be long before the foam as worn down and they look to be way older and worn than they are. See if you can find the density of the foam cushions being used, the higher the better for longevity...See Morehealon321
