Re couches — someone mentioned Crate and Barrel. The size of their couches seem to be best for houses in the Mid West. The scale of so much furniture is wrong for brownsones. Too bulky. That is something I noticed about Crate and Barrel designs – so massive.
I bet you can have it re-upholstered for less than 1K with a decent fabric or so-so leather. You’ll still be in for less than most IKEA sofas, with a whole lot more personality.
ooh – very cool drew – thanks!
