I too have heard wonderful things about Flexsteel quality, but- I am not sure if it is still the way it was. Melly says hers is older, which reinforces my questioning on this. Not trying to be too much of a skeptic but I was in the market for family room furniture and su:rfed the web tirelessly- and found all sorts of conflicting opinions.......... I have had Broyhill which I know is a very moderate line, and I also know that might not be an option now as they have had a good deal of financial woes but the furniture was great. (also very old so not sure of what is made now) I had Thomasville which I believe is supposed to be a better quality than Broyhill and is more $. It was ok but it was not any better than the others. I ended up buying Rowe, which I believe is probably comparable to Broyhill- anyway it's only a few months old but it seems great and it is made in USA. I didn't spend a lot, as that was what the moral of the story seemed to be- there was no longer a correlation between quality and price. This may still be valid for much higher end lines but for what I was considering.... that's my 2 cents. I still do love your wallpaper though:)

I'll be using a pair of vintage sofas with seagrass, except the seagrass will be on the floor. Check out this Texas coastal design site for rooms that use seagrass. Most trend traditional but some mix it up. Maybe something there will inspire you. Love your sofa! Here is a link that might be useful: cote-de-texas

I thought green right away with your color combo. I love yellow though, but green might be really nice with your color combo.

I realize that this thread is already a couple of years old, but I just wanted to correct the information about the maker. This sofa was made by Drexel as part of the "Triune" collection. I've seen similar pieces often incorrectly attributed to Tomlinson. It was quite common for many furniture makers to patent their designs. However, this didn't prevent competitors from making slight modifications as a work-around in order to cash in on hot trends. Soon after Tomlinson introduced the "Sophisticate" collection in 1956, other makers such as Thomasville (with the "Tamerlane" collection) and Drexel (with the "Meridian" and "Triune" collections) used similar motifs and finishes and are frequently misidentified as Tomlinson. I've included a period ad for TRIUNE by Drexel displaying the sofa upholstered in white. I hope this helps! For reference, this is the Tomlinson Sophisticate sofa that is often mistaken:
