Q: I stumbled upon this image and love love LOVE the sofa. Any idea who makes it and how I can get my hands on one? I'm pretty certain that this couch is the answer to all life's questions and problems. Thanks for your help! More

Reviving an ancient technique of forming leather, UK designer Tortie Hoare makes a splash in the design world with her rustic-contemporary furniture collection. More

The simple cantilevering design by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is a perfect "canvas" for lots of different treatments. From classic black leather to a rather strange choice of floral upholstery, the Brno chair is shown here 5 ways: More

I'm working on a man-cave for a client, and though we couldn't steer him away from an all-leather sectional, we are trying our best to create some contrast in the texture of what will be a combination coffee table/ottoman. More

Every time I think I should start adding more color to my home, I stumble across pictures of gorgeous cream or white rooms and fall back in love with neutrals. Lately, I keep spotting rooms with brown leather chairs and white walls, a look that's sophisticated, mellow, and classic.

Q: I have looked high and low on this site and the web more generally and can find no answer to this question: who makes/made these leather nailhead trim dining chairs? The image is one that has been featured here before, from Domino April 2007 page 78, Katie Lydon's "A Salong-Style Pastiche Over a Console." More

If you haven't seen one in your single guy friends' apartments, you've probably spotted one in your newly married girl friends' living room (where she is putting on a brave face until she can get rid of it). Sorry to generalize guys, but nothing screams "bachelor!" like a black leather sofa. Indeed the ubiquity of the overstuffed black leather sofa has kind of given the whole concept of a leather sofa a bad rap. More

It's a stereotype, of course, but one that we'll go with just for a moment - the first time sofa buyer who goes for black leather as the upholstery of choice - the perceived staple of bachelor/ette pads everywhere. Whether or not this is true is a debate for another day, but what IS true is that it can be a challenge to elegantly incorporate black furniture into a room. More

Q: My dog finally succeeded in puncturing my leather sofa... any ideas how to mend it? It's only about an inch big, but I have no doubt that the prying fingers of my 3 and 1 year old will find a way to quickly enlarge it. Suggestions (short of getting a new sofa!) would be greatly appreciated. More

Q: I recently took the dramatic step of painting my (well lit) living room two tone matte black with gloss black pin stripes. I have a white leather couch that needs a SILVER leather armchair partner. I have only found a single chair online and I am trying to find a few more; I was hoping Apartment Therapy and it's resourceful readers could help me find a few others. More
