I would do some research first. Call at least three businesses that do upholstering and/or slipcovering for prices. The couch looks to be in very nice shape and the style is traditional. I would eliminate the skirt if the legs are pleasing. This would ease the style into more of a transitional vs. traditional one. I don't see any stains , wear, or sagging in the cushions. Personally I'd jump at the chance to own that couch...I guess some folks just have money to toss LOL. I could never see getting rid of a well made piece of furniture that perhaps, for my taste, I had grown tired of. There doesn't appear to be a thing wrong with it, other than the fact that you're not in love with the fabric. Slipcovering or upholstering it would be my choice. Good luck and please let us know how it turns out. BTW, if you decide you don't want it and it's located in mid-New York State, I'd be happy to take it off her hands ;o)

Not TOO bad, according to this from the Style at Home link that I will put below. But how wide and deep is it, and do you have enough space? I'm guessing it's approx 4 feet long, and it's height will make it 'seem' bigger, even though it's glass. How large is your room; how long is your sofa...Maybe do a mock-up of the size with newspaper, and then gauge the height. "Size matters - The standard height for coffee tables is from 16 to 18 inches, but may go as high as 21 inches. A higher table is a smart choice if you entertain frequently so that guests don't have to bend too much to set down their drinks. But, ultimately, the height of the adjacent upholstered pieces should determine the height of the table. One guideline is that a coffee table should be about the same height or one or two inches lower than the seat height of the sofa. The length of a coffee table should be about two-thirds the length of the sofa (not including arms). The width should be determined by how much room you have between the soft upholstered pieces and the table in your seating arrangement �" leave at least 16 inches around each side of the table." Here is a link that might be useful: Coffee tables

Laurel, do you want a gray monotone look or would you like some color? (i hope you don't live in Seattle because that's a whole lot of gray in that room) Let me post a grip of pics to give you a few ideas. I may need to continue them w/the next comment. as for your chair choice,,,,any way of getting those in a diff color or maybe w/a pattern? With the gray sofa, gray chairs, gray walls, gray tile,,,it's all so similar. a pattern or something like warm leather, would go a long waysHere are two. you have nice light so see if you can do a tall tree in the space closest to the window. that will draw up the eye to your tall ceilings. Ditto w/that fireplace. have you thought about doing something w/the wall the tv is actually on? either darker paint color, some trim work, maybe continuing the tile? I'd love to see that mantel stained a bit darker and warmer. Right now that focal point(the fireplace) sort of dies out once you hit the mantel. Some ideas to consider, warm wood shelving on each side, or some other type of chest, artwork to finish off that main wall. look at the diff in this fireplace just by continuing the tile and using the warm wood shelving. this is a very gray room (take away the wood and the aqua accents, and you have total gray) but look at how a few colorful pieces/warm wood, give it lifesame idea. This is basically your room w/o the bookcases or the dark wood table. very monotone. Is this the look you want? if so, then keep everything gray and white and bring in texture w/natural fabric rug. same neutral, but the bling light and nice artwork, glass table and patterned chairs, keep it from being boring. ditto w/this one. another idea for the sides of your FP. this would allow your floor vents plenty of room if you did floating shelving. I also like the look of the tongue/groove and the bordering trim work above the mantel on both these pics. It might be a nice addition to your fireplace if you did something like this (instead of the tile). notice the colorful rug and greenery, plus the artwork, that gives all the neutrals some oomph. you could easily do a console like this, with key pieces, or some art hung above it. or mirrors. Again, very neutral. but look at how the wood consoles, wood framed mirrors really warm up all the white/grays. the other pics I can't fit on this comment show floating white shelving and some other rug ideas. if you want to see more I can post those and rug suggestions. just let me know if you like any of these ideas for your space.

Hey, faith1love! I've found that In order to receive a response from the very helpful Houzz Pros, they will need photos before making any suggestions. Take at least 4...one from every angle of the room. Take more photos if it's an open concept, so they can see how the room relates to the other spaces in your home. Enjoy decorating your space and Happy Houzzing!
