I think I will probably go with the pull up, but it’s a tough choice between two gorgeous leathers. See, I have a CAT. She’s super well-trained, and does not scratch where she isn’t supposed to....
Duane, you have impeccable taste. I have been reading and looking at pictures in this space for years now, and not only have I been impressed with the quality of your product and the depth of...
Youcan also put a clear glass furniture coaster between the bottom of each leg and the carpet, to evenly distribute the weight and keep the metal from really digging into the fibers of the rug. Just...
That is a GORGEOUS ROOM, Omigosh. Wow. Thank you for sharing. And thanks for the info!
Forgive me if this is a duplicate…. I tried to post with a quote…. Technology is not my strong suit…. Anyway, I am always curious what YOU like, Duane, because I think your taste in leather is...
This is quite an old thread so I don’t know if you’re still looking, bu5 I had a Stickley Essex. One insight I can give you is that their FOAM inserts are like ROCKS, that soften marginally over...
[QUOTE=drcollie;48025]Here is my current # 1 favorite. In fact, I am going to order once of these for myself once I finalize on a leather (likely to be Finery Linen, GR 5).
I know this is a...
That’s a fascinating pair of photos. The Capri speaks volumes of “quiet luxury “, as they say these days.
Wowzers. You’re probably like me, then. Easy on your furniture, take good care of stuff. This is valuable info, Ci2eye. Thank you so much!
THank you. Yes, I’m not really worried about a negative experience, because Capri is one of the leathers you really love, and you know your leather. I’m just wondering what sort of qualities older...
In 2021, a storm devastated my apartment. Repairs were done. But I’ve been living a practically bare-bulb existence ever since, waiting for insurance to catch up. Well, they finally came through...
Congratulations! You have done honorable, deeply appreciated and successful work, and you deserve praise—and rest! Thank you for all you have taught me. I wish you the best of happiness, and...
Here’s a handbag anecdote for ya. I found a vintage, classic, high-end designer bag in a thrift store about a decade ago, which I snapped up for less than $100. I had it appraised by a...
Such a helpful post! I adore the way a pull up looks over time. Comfortable and inviting and lived in— just perfect for my antiques. I have a lingering attraction to Burnished leathers, however. I...
Thank you, Duane, for your thorough and informative reply. A great deal of food for thought . May I say, I do appreciate this Forum thoroughly, and have a great deal of respect for your expertise....
On the subject of picking a leather: here’s a set of questions on tonal variation and texture/softness.
I am trying to decide between Capri, Tiburon and Cameo for my 8172, Chesterfield with alllll...
This is really helpful, thanks. To add something maybe people already know: colors “change” depending not only on camera and lighting, but also on context. I have a grey rug that looks...
This is THE sofa!!! Omgomgomg
I am shopping H&M from home and have a piece of advice. In addition to looking at samples, take your favorites and google their names. Also do a search for the names of the leathers you like in...
Love it. Thank you.
I have another question. What are your thoughts about Pelham burnished? The description says H&M is using a new water-based process? Any thoughts on overall quality, color, endurance? Also, worker...
While we’re on the topic of comparisons, I’m wondering how you think Old Hickory Tannery stacks up against H&M. I’m trying to decide between the H&M Tavern, which I know you really like (me too!),...
Thank you, and btw thanks so much for this forum. I have learned SO MUCH from you! You’re awesome.
Aha! I am considering the H&M Tavern, and leaning toward the 5067 because it has a tufted seat. My thinking is that a tufted seat will puddle less, or puddle in a way that I don’t mind as much. I...
