    Furniture Stores

    Thanks so much! Do you mind sharing which dining set you have? Is the finish durable? Which were the bar stools you got ? (so I can make sure to avoid them).  :) We also went to Ethan Allen just to look and ended up finding a (smallish) dining table we liked, which was cheaper than a lot of...

    Shutters

    Just an update: Arvind came by this weekend to look at the issues and quickly fixed them. So i am happy and relieved. I was worried, i admit. So even though he might take a couple weeks to come by to fix non- urgent issues, looks like he will definitely fix it.

    Furniture Stores

    We are furniture shopping/hunting and I was wondering how the quality of stuff at crate and barrel compares to room and board. I initially was looking at ikea/living spaces but since we are buying only two main pieces of furniture (bed frame and dining set) we are tempted to invest in long...

    Shutters

    Hmm - not sure. His service was pretty good while we were making our choice. He met with us multiple times. It is the post installation stuff that is bothering me. But then, he has already collected payment, maybe that is it?

    Shutters

    I am actually a bit annoyed with Arvind Sheth's unresponsive-ness once we paid him. I have a few issues with the installation of the woven wood shades but haven't heard from him in a week. I know he is busy so I will give him another week and see, but what have your experiences been regarding...

    Recommendations for landscaping companies

    Just wanted to update this post with our landscaping experience. Sean is almost done with our backyard (except for a tree in the corner) and we are really happy with him so far. There was a bit of a delay initially for submission of hoa plans (as his guy delayed the delivery of samples) but...

    Shutters

    We went with Woodlore withPacific Windecor. He adds a few inches on either side so the actual square footage he uses is probably more than what you've calculated? Did he give you the square footage? Woodlore Plus could be more expensive - I forget, though. I remember asking him. We did, I...

    Shutters

    I went with Pacific Windecor for my windows. A few people have asked me about my experience. I thought I will update this post in case it is of help to somebody. We went with a mix of shutters  (Norman clear view) and woven wood shades (centurion brand). Overall the installers seemed careful...

    Doors

    Just bumping this thread to find out if anybody has used Eisenbart and sons for doors. I was going to contact them for the privacy door between the master bedroom and bathroom. Or are there any other vendors that I should consider? Thanks in advance!

    Hardwood Flooring Depot

    Looks great, qwerty! Did you do wood on the second floor too? I have been meaning to post updates. We used Hardwood flooring depot too, worked with Reza. There were a few issues but they were fixed. We did carpet and wood with them. I really liked our final choice of wood and Reza's input was...

    Drought tolerant, low maintenance, small tree

    Thanks so much NYT. Is the one in the courtyard also bloodgood? I was looking at some other varieties like the dwarf shaina and fire glow. But since we are getting the plants and tree directly from the landscaper and he didn't have those, we decided to stick with the bloodgood. He did have...

    Drought tolerant, low maintenance, small tree

    Thanks NYT! That's the one we are planning on - the bloodgood variety (which is the most common). I hope the HOA approves it. *fingers crossed*

    Cheap furniture

    Any recommendations for cheap/not too expensive yet non-toxic (relatively) furniture? Or does such a thing not exist?? I am mainly looking for a platform bed and a dining set. Anybody know of Coaster furniture- they are a distributer/manufacturer who  have a lot of target/overstock/world...
