Their version of the butterfly is beautiful. Super dark.

As a warning, those stools are only rated to like 130 lbs.

Spent a lot of money on the Vitra version to basically have a shoe-put on station for my 2 year old.

Finally got the Tendo Mikko table I've been wanting for like 12 yrs:

From a Japanese seller on eBay. Love the bent plywood legs.

Nice! The zelkova one? I remember you messaging me about one a year ago. We love ours, not least because we move it around the room all the time.

It’s kind of funny when we’re at a hotel where these are ubiquitous in tatami rooms and my son recognizes it from home.

Hey everyone, could I get some couch/brand recommendations? Primarily looking for quality and comfort (obviously), and cleanability (are slip covers good?) I don’t know what brands to begin looking at as I’m used to IKEA, bobs furniture, etc. budget of 3-4k, Can extend to 5k if it’s worthwhile to. I need to be mindful of my goblin cat who enjoys scratching at the corner of the couch, so I assume no leather. Need to limit the length to 85”

I particularly like these styles if that helps. Couch can be lifted.. if that’s the correct terminology.

I think so! Not sure though, since the seller didn't list the type of wood. But based on the color and grain, I think it is. The pics looked like cedar, which my wife would have preferred, but I'm pretty happy with this. Our daughter claimed it as her homework table even though she's got a desk in her room.

Thanks, will have to check out their showroom. Are there other brands you would recommend? I've been to Joy bird but read some horrible reviews online. Pottery barn looks ok?

Not the right place for this, obviously.

I posted my question in the Art thread, but this may be a better place. Does anyone here know of a source for stock or custom frames with the "Montparnasse patina"? I'm looking for that Louis XIV/XV style that saw a revival in the late 19th/early 20th century ... gold but toned down with a slightly dusty feel ... and almost always having a Marie Louise liner.

This is a very brand-reinforcing post. 🙂

It's amazing what a few good meds can get out of me. Fractured ankle -- don't ask.

I thought your post was fine here, btw. Just being silly.

I posted in an art forum where I participate. That really is the better place for it. If anyone here is curious, I think your link has my original question.

It's coming up on 10 PM. Do you know where your pills are? I do! That ankle is feeling better already.

Oh, here is an example of this frame from the early 20th century. EDIT (pills have worn off but pain has subsided) It's ideal for French paintings that were "à la page" in the late 1800's. We recently got a work from that time and place but the frame is heavily damaged. Having a master's in art history, I am not giving into framing it in a way that wasn't appropriate at that time. I've seen them put in flashy gold baroque and even moldings more appropriate for works of our time and I'm not happy with that. Fortunately this kind of frame works where it will be hung. Unfortunately they are difficult to find. I am working with one fellow who may be able to repair the existing frame.

Slip covers are great. I'd have to think hard about buying a sofa that comes 'pre' slipcovered, but having them made after the fact can be fantastic. Obviously, some styles (like you picture) are better suited to slipcovers than others. And the fabric matters--- a leather sofa with canvas slipcovers for summer make a nice, breezy change.

Had a rectilinear Ikea sectional professionally slipcovered in a condo for several years. Pre-shrunk cotton canvas, sewn by a gal who now has one of the largest upholstery/drapery workrooms around--can't imagine what she'd charge these days. Washed the covers a couple times a year and then rented it with the furniture in place, finally sold the furniture with the condo. It might be still going. Oh, the covers were made when the sofa was new and were always in place, not seasonal.

Can anyone help me ID these stools?
