Elusa13 MM:

We need a fireplace shield, yet haven't found one. There're some really decent stuffs in the market place, but they're expensive (150 bucks), and we don't want to spend that much on it. Therefore we just put a painting down there to cover the dark and ugly part.

PP MM:

Thanks, but... honestly, it might be something in between French Traditional and French Formal (or French Palace, if you will). The authentic French Formal is characterized by lots of highly polished furnitures and excessively elaborated details, and all these would cost way more money than we could afford. Moreover, that would be really really formal, which I kinda try to shy away from...

JQ MM:

The first chair took me about 5 hours to pull out all the 350+ nails, and another 6 hours to finish the re-upholstry.

Yet the second took me only 6 hours in total. The third, less than 6.

There's really a learning curve out there, hehe.
