More stuff I need help finding: an inexpensive, large framed (plainly) mirror for the living room...also, nesting and small console tables. Ideas?

Shannon - I saw some pretty simple mirrors at Room & Board. I also saw some pretty cool nesting tables at EQ3 online.

**ALSO** On a side note everyone. I am still unable to log into my blog due to being hacked! Please stand by and check back soon, I'm working on fixing it with google. Thanks!

I've been searching in vain for storage that doubles as flooring. An Aussie closet company sells this and they call it a storage platform.

I'm looking for a vendor a bit closer to home. Any ideas? Thanks!

chagga, Maxwell is the expert at this since 50% of his apt. is floor storage. He explains how it was built in a video:

I'm searching for somewhere reliable in San Francisco where they repair couches, preferably somewhere close to South Beach. We have a couple of nice-looking couches but both of their structural frames have been damaged. Right now we have two piles of books packed underneath them to support the frames.

The love seat was the victim of a large man dropping his full weight onto it, rewarding us with a disconcerting crack. And the larger couch is starting to sag alarmingly in the middle, where the supporting leg twisted loose from its screws.

Anyway, suggestions would be most appreciated!

Thanks Anne! Looks like I'll need to go the DIY route for this.

Shannon, I saw some nice, large-ish, modern-looking, framed mirrors at Target on super sale recently.
