Thank you. Do you think it's better to use the Gervin chairs here, https://joybird.com/chairs/gervin-chair/?fabric=cordova_amber&wood_stain=mocha&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=gervin-chair&utm_campaign=google_shopping_feed&scid=scplpJB1032100-CF013-WS03&sc_intid=JB1032100-CF013-WS03&gclid=CjwKCAjwuITNBRBFEiwA9N9YEDkpjnKNveYyCi6zNOCvwfyFZ5yogfzEO2K3lAwcuVQ_UaMgABLFdRoCFQAQAvD_BwE that are exactly like the sofa, or the ones in my first post above?

Yes as havingfun said some do some don't. In my area for some reason September , October and November are the best CL months for furniture ( sometimes throughout the summer) . Once we are in full season the prices go way way up and it's harder to find nice things at good prices. November is pushing it but great finds are still there. If you are lucky you will find that expensive but hardly sat on sofa one has in the formal living room of their 2nd home and out of boredom they just want to redecorate. Normally things in that scenario are priced way to high for CL to start but eventually come down. If you really like something though go and see it to get your foot in the door. You can always make an offer. A low offer will most always be excepted from the person with a van or truck before a person with a car. I have a van so when inquiring on big stuff I mention that in the 1st sentence. If I'm the one selling I always get back with the people who say they have a vehicle that can haul first. When shopping on CL you have to usually just zero in on items individually. If you look at the rooms as a whole you might miss some good stuff.

From what I can see and what you are saying, I would go with the CF couch (chrome will not stand out with your whitewash as much as the dark legs on the RTG sofa, and I believe the best option is to add a stand-alone desk (open secretarial desk so it's not too visually heavy) behind the sectional, as suggested above, with it facing the window.

Thank you Fenstermann! I didn't go with the roller shades because they don't provide as much insulation but I am going to get them for our Florida home. Thanks for the advice! My husband will love adding the app to his phone. What I did decided for the Bethany condo on is 2" vertical honeycomb that will open from the center. I can push them back like curtains for the summer and will get a good level of insulation for the winter. I will post a picture after they install. Thank you so much for your advice. I love this site!
