I'm an occasional "Lurker" here but just had to post about the picture of the lady in the blue dress---- It was at least 20 years ago when I was at the mall with my aunt and we spotted this picture at the Bombay shop-- Kmcg85 I guess you saw it at the Bombay store about the same time I purchased it- Way back in 1947 I was modeling in a fashion show in a blue dress very similar to the dress in the picture-- My aunt insisted I buy the picture -----she has since passed away at age 93 but I have a wonderful memory of that shopping day and the picture. the picture I have is beautifully matted and in a gold frame I would love to see a photo when you decide where you will be hanging it. I was so excited when I spotted it in your post. BTW---I love the chairs and think the fabric is lovely--also like the couch---- Florence/zeffyrose

cawaps, not sure what you mean by planned purchases? I already own the couch and I am looking for a chair to match. I have looked everywhere and this is the only one I can find that I like. The vendor does not offer different leg options.

Thanks for your comments, I'll address them individually below: decoenthusiaste: Every day it's just me and my husband. TBH, we don't use the LR a lot on weekdays because we're really busy. I use the side part by the bookcases or catlandia for yoga at night. Sometimes we watch a little TV at night. We entertain a little, but usually no more than than 6-8 people total. Most often when we entertain it's another couple over with us. The fireplace is wood burning, and requires work and tending, and you really can't get super close to it because it gets very hot. We love it though, but only use it about 6 months per year. I suppose the tv is more of the focus than the fireplace in some ways. I don't love the bookcases either, and we plan to replace them at some point. We set the room up the way we did because I feel like having a sofa that's parallel to the closets creates a hallway of sorts, and sets the room up better than this big space that needs more anchoring. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but the previous owners had it set up the way you described and I really hated the way it looked and felt. it made that left side of the room feel scrunched up against like that 1/3 of the room and made the rest of the space feel weird. because of where the fireplace is, almost in front of the front door, it makes it an awkward space to gather in front of. but I could be completely wrong here and I want to keep an open mind before we purchase anything, which is why I'm here! Also, side note, my husband is extremely particular about leather and only wants a leather sofa, and very specific kinds of leather, but is willing to compromise on side chairs with fabric.

I would think if you used the same color accessories i.e pillows, vases, plant pots on each set you could make it work. If you want a rug, get one with come color along with the white and tan of your furniture.
