Thanks everyone for your advice and help. I know I must look impatient, but I've been staring at this stupid wall for months and months. What seems like minutes to y'all has really been months for me. I tried the easiest suggestion of disassembling the sectional and it simply just doesn't work. If it broke apart differently, but it doesn't and after breaking it apart and slinging the parts all over the room I've abandoneed that idea (which would be a great one if the thing would break apart right). While it is a great suggestion and was my original concept for the room, I've already had the sectional under the window and it didn't work; it is too wide and accentuates the narrowness of the space. I know this flies in the face of magazine decorating, but I think it is silly to have a room set up so you can't really watch the TV when the major purpose of the room is the TV. But if I also don't want the TV to be the first thing a person sees when they walk into a room, IYKWIM? I really like the moulding ideas. I've been thinking about that and seeing pictures inspires me and will help me explain what I'm thinking to my husband. Good ideas there, well, good ideas everywhere; I wish I could make some of these ideas work. I guess I have to make a decision: fashion or comfort. I have another couch and loveseat that reflects my taste better, more french country, but they aren't nearly as comfortable as the big, sprawly sectional and I think I might have to repaint since there is a lot of green in the other set. We bought this sectional because our entire family could sprawl out and watch TV, but now we're empty nesters and I'm rethinking it. Finally, dawnp, I do love this picture a lot. If I keep the sectional then that is maybe a good direction to go.

We are building out a shell 3 floor condo. We require an elevator. The only available place for one is from lower level hall up thru living wall at top of stairs. It is approximately 5 feet in from the landing. The 3 floor will not be a problem. Im thinking cabinet build in will make the elevator look more built in on 2nd level. I worry it will look like a box i. The living room?

Roopa if you bought that oriental rug with the bright red and the aqua background, I would go with a pale aqua or pale blue wall. Off white, pale yellow or cream works very well too. It's the daytime light with all the beautiful windows you have to feel airy during the day and a pleasing wall color to look at night and enjoy, not overpowering!
