Q:I just bought three sofa yesterday, but I felt that it was too rushed and does not feel confident that it will look good. I already have a dark beige loveseat with black end tables and black coffee table. What I just bought are 2 brown orange-ish recliner chair and a black leather chair with ottoman. Does these color match? or perhaps too dark for the room? What should I do to make it more cheerful? Should I add more flowery pillows?I'm confused...

You'll look like a south american fiesta room...don't do this. ONE of the two must go. Truly Elegant Natural color leather is best and ageless. No red! Don't mess up the woodwork. Lots of for an oriental area rug, sort of geometric, not floral, that has your colors and work from there. Start with good taupe walls and perhaps add an accent wall later. Get the Red in accents and accessories. If, unfortunately, you have already bought the sofas, then the area rug, at least 5 x 8, will be the only saving grace, with some dark blue to tone it down. and keep it very near the sofa. Neutral walls!

Q:what would you recommend for a large sofa -- about 98-100 long and about 38 deep? standard covers are too small. are there any companies that cater to bigger sofas?oh and i do not want want to make my own. i do not have the skills or time. thanks...

i just buy sofas that are already nicely decorated. :) Sewing would be your best option by using a sewing machine, but since you don't have the time, maybe you can ask a friend?

Q:How to remove dog urine from a sofa?

Natures Miracle is a good product for eliminating pet stains and neutralizing the odor so it won't happen again.

Q:The sofa is positioned on an angle against a corner wall, creating an empty triangle space behind it. The ceilings are high. I need to put something behind the couch so that it's not just dead/empty space. I have a sofa table behind it for now, but everything I put on the table seems too short against the high ceilings. I have thought about a tall plant. Can you think of anything else? Maybe something on the walls?

You could do a couple of different things - add a ficus tree behind the couch and get an up-light . I have also seen people use those screens with the paper and do the same thing with the light. Another option would be to get some floating shelves to put on the 2 walls and lean a picture/print against the wall on the shelf, add a vase ...etc. If you need more height with the sofa table you can get some 2 inch wood blocks to raise it up a bit - or buy inexpensive decorative box's ( from Tuesday Morning, Kmart, Target ) and elevate anything you have on the table

Q:I want to buy a leather sleeper sofa, but I heard the seats slip off the sofa easily. Is this true?

I have a brand new choclate sectional leather sofa with a sleeper in it and the seats never fall off, I guess it depends on the sofa and if it is slippery then that would happen, but if it isn't then it won't.

Q:Is there such a thing? about 8 years ago I bought a couch that was supposedly 'top of the line' one your grand kids will have in their first home, etc. Well, the cushions have slumped and the leather has worn holes in it. It will cost more than new to recover and rebuild the cushions.Recommendations on a brand?

Anyone who says a sofa will last you a lifetime is lying to make a sale. Most couches need to be thrown out or completely refurbished every 10-15 years.

Q:My cat has urinated about 7 times on the same spot on our sofa. Every time he does that, I just scrub it with detergent and water or sometimes bleach. But this time, the odor won't go away... Pls help.. tnx..

WARNING: DO NOT USE BLEACH, it cause it to urinate more in the same spot. I suggest you use X-O odor remover, Soak it really well and let dry. X-O odor remover, you can search online and get it delivered. It's an enzyme, colorless and odorless and completely safe. good luck

Q:Spilled white wine on microfiber sofa, and it stinks. What do I do?

Febreeze. Gets the whole house smelling nice again. Just spray it on the fabric and voila.

Q:Hi I was giving a beautiful sofa today and was gonna use it in the only space available which is an empty upstairs bedroom the only problem is it wont fit threw the hallway vertically and theirs a wall in the way of the door entranceso the only option i have is to try to get it threw the window in the room which both panes open inward so theirs more than enough space, the problem is how would i go about doing this?i'm thinking there is more than enough space to put a few ladders to the window with rope on the top tied down so it doesnt slip back wrapping the sofa in pad liners tieing rope around it and halling it upIs there an easier way to do this task without hiring someone to do it for me for $300? thanksbtw its on the backyard side of the house so i cant hire someone with a crane

the safest way is to ask a professional. Explain first and if you can show a picture(s) of the side of the house and the yard. I do not think there is an easy way out of this. There are small cranes that totally collapse. Examine the sofa for removable parts. legs, ends, back careful not to damage it. You might call or visit the store where it was purchased and ask for advice. good luck. the traditional way to lift a piano to a second story is to mount a block and tackle on the roof (if the roof is flat)

Q:i keep reading the story over and over and i cant seem to find the theme. Please help!Thank you

What do you mean you can't find the theme? It's about a kid whose dad sells things, and the way he gets those things is by stealing them. SO he sells a sofa, puts his kid inside the sofa, the people put it in their house, the kid gets out of the sofa, and takes valuable items with him on his way out the house. In this instance, the kid gets caught. It's a 1st person narrative told by the kid who is in the sofa ready to pop out and steal things from the buyer's house. Got it?
