Anne (in Reno), or anyone else with a "Keep Calm Carry On" poster - You said you found a frame at Target that fits the "Keep Calm" poster we discussed yesterday...what frame was that? Anyone else have any luck finding a good frame for it?

Thanks Victoria for the info on the Ikea Ribba frame.

Does anyone own out there own the Lenox Sofa from Room and Board?

I am considering buying the Lenox sofa from Room and Board for my lounge/media room. I am really drawn to the design and price point ($899), but am skeptical of its ability to deliver the comfort and take the heavy use for tv watching, lounging, etc.



Unfortunately there is no R&B in my area, so I’m not able to see it in person. Is there anyone in the AT Community that owns this sofa, and can comment on its comfort and durability? Thanks

Kate,

it's an odd shape, not quite 16x10, I went to ikea and all their fames were too short or to big, I ended up getting a clips frame, which is just glass and clips, no border, it's small in the frame but the frame insert was gray and was a nice contrast up against the red.

eventually I'll find something better, but for 7 bucks it works for now.

Skywaykate, my poster fit really nicely into the 18x24 frames in the home decor section, the one I have is black wood and maybe an inch wide, they have a big frame section and it was one of the biggest frames they had, possibly Thomas O'Brian or whoever the last designer person was before Victoria Hagan.

However, I will say, I can't vouch for the new screen print, as I don't know if it's the same size as mine. Mine fit in perfectly with just a tiny white border showing around the edges. There's a pic somewhere on my flickr account if you're curious.
