Thanks for your input valinsv. Oddly enough, I had most of the same exact concerns that you did. And in fact, our plan was to have them make us fitted cushions rather than the pillows you see. The sectional would look cleaner and we thought, function better. As it turns out, now that we have had this sectional for about two weeks, we rather love how it functions. Yes, the sofa doesn't look as clean but wow is it comfortable for us to use. When it's just the family, we all sort of tuck ourselves into different parts of the sectional. And, when it's just me, I actually gravitate toward the corner more than most places on the sofa. The pillow look allows us to just grab one and put it where it is comfortable. Shoot, I (and others) even use the armless end to watch TV if other parts are full. We didn't plan it this way and like I said, were set to do it another way. But hey, now that we got a chance to use it, we like this better. We did consider a curved sectional but the dimensions just would not work in this room. And regarding microsuede, I understand that it is practical. But in this case, we have to go with style over function. Just don't like that material. It just happens

Paint that really ugly builtin to the same as the walls for sure.I would do a white coverlet with pillows as above and the first thing to do is remove those mirrored doors on the closet to mybe louvered ones .As for a night stand or two someting simple in a steel and walnut wit good sized lamps for the guests , chose them so they can go somewhere else when your son moves in . I agree those drapes need to be at least double what you have there . In fact I like the nightstand you have just add a nice lamp for now. When possible I would remove that built in a nd have something more kid friendly for dresser and storage. Those drawers are too high for any kid to use anyway.

Matching a pattern and blue color can be tricky. You might want to look at mixing in a floral that can tie in the colors of your drapes and couch. I really like this one: http://www.kirklands.com/product/Rugs-Curtains/Area-Rugs/Indigo-Floral-Area-Rug-8x10/pc/2288/c/2299/238190.uts

decoenthusiaste, you've been on houzz longer than me, and groveraxle commented on your ability.... so I thank you for posting a solution I've been wondering about ! "for simple and easy patio door curtains rather than having a regular curtain rod.... The existing vertical blinds slider has little hole slots that I was able to slip the “S” hooks into, and clip up the curtains with no problem. Open curtains, or slide them fully closed. [This is sometimes a problem with a regular curtain rod as often a middle bracket keeps curtains from sliding all the way to the opposite side.]" IN black or silver for $12.
