I am certain that my husband will be quite thrilled. This is the dream sofa of all men, right? I, on the other hand, am frozen with anxiety. Will it work? Strangely, I think it will look great. If not, to the man-cave billiards room with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-50126686485184461562010-03-22T09:56:52.154-04:002010-03-22T09:56:52.154-04:00wow

I know this post is about going full throttle -- a look that works particularly well with sleek metal in a high rise city apt -- but I also love how black doors (interior and exterior), black gates, black kitchen cabinets etc. can really add bite to a house with lots of soft colors.<br /><br />P.S.
