Sewing (Pic Heavy)

[Nathalie]

..hate to ask again, but do you know what the name of the brown paint color used in the last pic is?

Hi Nathalie--I answered earlier in the thread--it's a couple of PO's old, and I don't even have any old paint left.

Thanks again for all the nice comments everyone. Yes, OHL, we got started on this after pricing drapes for the dining room (I could buy a new room for those prices. ) She came to the conclusion that if she did the work herself, we could easily afford the fabrics we liked. It has been fairly stressful though, as a small mistake gets costly, and she had never done drapes or valences before.

What is the name of the red/orange paint color shown in the first pic?

Looks similar to the color I have in my dining room - Audubon Russet by Benjamine Moore.

I want the curtains you have to match, I only need two

I wanna know how to sew that fabulous doorknob!

I congratulate Mrs. W. on the seat cushions particularly. I love the valances; very period-accurate style, and you know that's always a big compliment from me

Ooops, doorknob pic slipped in... They did a colonial revival pass through the house in 1919-20, and the only remaining Lorraine door plates/knobs are that one and then the front door.

Nathalie, I'm sure it's a bit late, but I finally got around to cleaning up the cupboard in the basement, and I found the dining room paint. It's Sherwin Williams Duration, "Copper Mountain." I would not have guessed this from looking at it, but there you are.
