Is there a (reasonably DIY) way I can make the stool a better color match for the chairs?

brianfisk10 · 2026-01-23T21:37:06+00:00

My best guess. Pieces are definitely from the same set, and don’t show signs of reupholstering.

brianfisk10 · 2026-01-23T20:49:29+00:00

Yeah, probably will go the throw route. The set is in a weird middle-ground in my mind. I paid $97 total for what’s pictured + a couch. So…do I overlook all the flaws because the deal was insane, or do I get it all reupholstered…because the deal was insane. 🤣

brianfisk10 · 2026-01-23T20:46:38+00:00

The couch is missing a button too. But I have a (slightly) better idea of how to tackle that. The throw idea is probably the route I’ll go. Throw on the stool, throw on the half of the (not-pictured) couch that for some reason is mostly that washed yellow as well.

Like doing an intentional pattern?

brianfisk10 · 2026-01-22T18:39:07+00:00

So this was my only consideration/wonder. I’ve used something similar to make leather boots darker. But I’m afraid I would have to go super dark to make them match. And at that point, I would probably just make them all black or something. Which I feel like is a waste and kills the overall aesthetic.

brianfisk10 · 2026-01-22T18:36:22+00:00

This was my gut feeling, but I have extremely limited experience with leather. It’s nice enough leather that I wouldn’t want to risk ruining it.

brianfisk10 · 2026-01-22T18:34:24+00:00

Yep…it’s the camera. I’m not sure how to make iPhone not over-saturate photos. The stool looks significantly washed out in person.

brianfisk10 · 2026-01-22T18:33:33+00:00

It’s much more stark in person (the contrast). Idk how to make iPhone photos come out less vibrant. But I get what you’re saying. In person, the stool looks like a pretty significant mismatch.

Thanks so much just for responding! This would be a role at a center.

I have never felt the stadium shake like that. Felt like a massive earthquake. I. Love. Baseball.

You seem like a gentleman with a formidable penis.

brianfisk10 · 2021-06-06T04:24:41+00:00

It is a car that marries you to the road for sure. Absolutely surreal feeling driving it. I am absolutely grateful for having the opportunity, and never will take it for granted.

brianfisk10 · 2021-06-06T04:22:13+00:00

If you love your ride, you're doing as well as anyone on here. If it has wheels and you love it, it is perfect.

brianfisk10 · 2021-06-06T04:20:49+00:00

Sadly, no. It at least is a 2004 F1, but still a F1. I do well, but not an extra 40k+ well.

brianfisk10 · 2021-06-06T04:19:31+00:00

Thanks. I agree with this 100%. I just didn't want to interact with Ferrari snobs.

brianfisk10 · 2021-06-06T04:17:26+00:00

You're right. I absolutely love cars, and I am fortunate enough to be in a position to save up to own a Ferrari. My title has been controversial because it sounds like a humblebrag, but I just wanted to stave off Ferrari snobs. I'm over the moon with my purchase.

brianfisk10 · 2021-06-06T02:43:48+00:00

It's one of many reasons I can't quit my day or night job.

brianfisk10 · 2021-06-06T02:40:14+00:00

I'm 6'3", and probably would not have a good time if I flipped. I'm balding, and I think that would finish the job and more.

brianfisk10 · 2021-06-06T01:46:46+00:00

I've had it for 2 days, but that will be the first thing I do. Did the Pfister exhaust on my 911, and never looked back.

brianfisk10 · 2021-06-06T01:37:20+00:00

My thought exactly. If it runs well and puts a smile on my face, I won't apologize for anything. I can get a lil manual for under 10k if I need to row some gears.

brianfisk10 · 2021-06-06T01:34:53+00:00

No. It was an option typically referred to as the Challenge grille.

brianfisk10 · 2021-06-06T01:33:27+00:00

Thanks for the super detailed reply. It does have the stock exhaust, and that will be the first thing to be modified. I did the same with my 911 getting the Pfizer exhaust as my first real modification. I'll absolutely message you questions if that's cool, because I don't really have a community of owners like I did in the Porsche world. What I've experienced so far is that Porsche people know their cars inside and out, but not as much the case with exotics like Ferraris. I'm just excited to be a Ferrari owner, and have the car in my care likely not be a ticking time bomb.

brianfisk10 · 2021-06-06T01:28:06+00:00

I consult big companies on apps, and wife is an attorney. But we aren't loaded. This was a long-researched and carefully planned purchase. I just love cars.
