Need advice! My cats are shredding my beautiful Pottery Barn rug!
Comments (87)IVANWOUT, scaring them with water and yelling at them is just going to make them a psychotic basket case. Anxious cats will do more damage. They have to scratch. if you don't provide them w/something, they will use what they can. That's on you. So be a good cat owner and buy them a few posts, or those cardboard scratching boxes. They are cheap. Get a little scratching post and put it next to your rug. (try amazon or Wayfair) Rub the post w/catnip. when they go to scratch your rug, gently pick them up and place their paws on the scratching post. give them a little catnip so they associate it w/good. They have to scratch. Give them something that they can use and they won't touch your stuff. i have 5 cats and 3 of these posts and other cat trees. They don't touch any of my furniture or the rugs....See MoreNEED MORE ADVICE ON SOFA AND QUALITY CHOICE PLEASE!
Comments (5)Bernhart out of NC (have been around for 125 years) - we have a couch made by them and are happy with it. Not sure though if they carry slipcovered couches. Attaching link below.

Comments (514)Wanted to update everyone/anyone who might be interested ordered the york squared arm deep seated bench seat with 3 cushions (only comes in deep seat now I believe) 81 inch slipcovered square in denim white on 1/15/2022 ordered the 2 PB comfort (smaller sized) sofa chair in denim white, in memory foam(cuz it was the softest at our local store compared to down fill) 3/5/2022 received both of them early 4/22, at the same delivery. the PB barn sofa/sofa chairs are very comfortable. I have a farlov ikea sofa, and it does not compare. Farlov cushion is hard in comparison. My husband likes it because he likes firm chairs. No regret so far with the white warm denium fabric, in terms of sitting comfort and color for the PB York and PB comfort chairs. I wondered if the warm white would be white enough, in the denim and almost picked the white regular twill, which was the whitest. It is pretty white. Of note, the york 81 ” sofa was $2299, in 1/22 and now cost 2499$ (W/O delivery/tax) The PB comfort sofa chairs (smaller size) in memory foam cost 1299$ each and now 1599$ each (WO delivery/tax) so price went up 20% and some for both furniture types… how often does this happen,does anyone know? The denim white in the PB comfort chair memory foam and the york sofa are both very soft and comfortable. I was afraid the stiff denim would make the York sofa and PB comfort sofa chair stiff, but it didn’t. Overall the York sofa is more comfortable than the PB comfort chairs in memory foam. The PB comfort sofas at the local store with down fill was so HARD to sit on, which was odd, since the york sofa is also downfilled but super soft. I spoke to a rep online and he also confirmed and said on their floor, the comfort line PB sofa in memory foam was softer than the down fill. Super happy with my purchase for many reasons. Thanks to everyone who commented on this thread, it was a lot of help. FYI the performance twill sample in warm white, after wash, when pouring some water drops onto it,, still retains some water spheres/ bubbles, before quickly dissipating into the material. It was not as water resistant as it once was. However, it was again the worst at stain removal, when removing revlon superlustrous coral orange lipstick from it....See MoreFamily room update with Pottery Barn leather sectional+ DIYpallet wall
Comments (12)Your biggest issue in my mind is there is just too much "stuff" in this room. I actually like the wall color because if this space is primarily for watching TV the darker walls soaks up some light from the large windows. Too many pillows, too many accessories so you would benefit from removing everything except sectional, coffee table (nice use of woods BTW) and tv and console. A end table where white cabinet is would be better than the white cab. The height should be the height of top of arm of sofa. The lamp currently on the Jack cab might work on that new end table. This would create your visual wall space over that leg of your sofa. I actually like that painting just center over that leg of sofa and the bottom of art should be about 6" above top of sofa. Artificial tree gone. Like Beth's idea of air plants but on driftwood on coffee table. A rug of a different texture and not matching runner (nice runner but don't let it run into this space) so soft creamy shag would be good. Try those things before you do anything else....See MoreMia Z
