Late to the party, but I'm liking the dark brown one. Your room is so spacious and open that I dontt think the darker color will overwhelm or weigh the room down. Did you fall in love with the sofa because of the color or in spite of it? Would you still love it if it you originally saw it in, say, eggplant LOL? The reason I'm asking is because you had mentioned that " There is still a part of me that wants to go with the lighter sofa since that's what I fell in love with. It's the practical side that's telling me to go with the brown." You have a pug. A pug that sheds no matter what (ask me how I know). And she probably occupies the sofa as frequently as you do. And hopefully she'll be around for a while ;o) The lighter color will be a bear to keep clean (ie. dirt) while the dark one will need constant attention with regard to vacuuming. But the darker one will look better for longer. It's a big purchase. Don't let the price of the fabric be the deciding factor unless the difference is enormous. Sit on it and wait for a few weeks, if possible, before making the purchase. We took almost a year deciding on the sectional we wanted and that's including the fabric and color. One piece of advice I can give you is to get a fabric that is "forgiving" when it comes to showing marks, pulls, etc. A textured chenille is a great fabric for hiding a multitude of sins. I can tell you what works for me and I can tell you what I like...and what I really like is your beautiful pug. She looks absolutely precious!

I wasn't going to look at your message because I really don't know fabrics - but once I saw it I thought it looks like a Waverly fabric that I had pillows made from for my parents when they moved to assisted living. Try www.waverly.com and search under "stripes."

No, I do not recognize it, but I am wondering if the following link could be helpful to you. No, I do not have experience with this vendor. Here is a link that might be useful: Fabric Finder

Just purchased these lovely custom sofas today for a steal. I plan to have them recovered at some point in the future, but I do love the linen that is on them. Does anyone recognize the pattern?
