I took the photo. It was a slip covered piece not for sale. No labels anywhere! I have been looking for a shabby cabbage rose floral type of romantic fabric and really like this fabric but have never found anything remotely similar so I thought I would post and get some leads. I hope!!!

I think you will get some more good options when your wife looks over the samples. I like herringbone tweed.

Oooooooooh, dover, that denim wingback is good! Sooooo goooood! Dang I want one now, lol. I agree with becky... No way can a wingback chair really look "too casual." Same with a Chesterfield. You could cover a Chesterfield sofa in dark indigo denim, and it would still be pure awesomeness, even in Buckingham Palace. And should it be a solid color denim and what color? The darker, the more formal. Solid, too. If you go with a lighter denim, or a denim with a pattern (stripe, plaid, embroidery), it gives a more casual vibe to me. [Disclaimer: I am not a pro. Just some random crazy internet chick, lol.] Edited to add: Just saw the yellow gingham chairs. Those are pretty nifty, too. :-D

Thanks for the great tips. Yes, it's a good point that 16 won't be sitting at the same time...more like 12 or so. Sadly, I have to go fairly dark due to the cleaning and staining issues. I should have added that I plan to add a large 12 x 15 area rug to break up the dark sofas from the darkish wood. I can't go with medium gray because it will look too "matchy-matchy" with the med. gray stone fireplace. Quick question/concern...I searched for sofas that are made from "Sunbrella" people here suggested and there are only a few and they are outdoor sofas. Mostly, the Sunbrella fabric is pillows. Also, I'll be removing both sofa tables behind the sofas that are there now, so that will give me another~ 4+ feet. But I still plan on putting more narrow sofa tables as I don't want the sofas right up against the walls, so it will be more like an extra 2 feet I'll be gaining. Any other suggestions for a "tough" fabric that won't be torn easily? We've had issues with guests sitting on the sofas, etc., with keys, etc, in their back pockets that tear the fabric or snag it. What are opinions on leather? Vinyl? Also, I'd like to lighten up the room with a cleaner, more modern white (ish) paint, maybe with a touch of gray, )but not with any blue or "pink" in it.) The walls are now painted Sherwin-Williams "Accessible Beige" and the Doors (not seen in the pictures are "Dovetail"...which I LOVE, but is way too dark for the walls. I've already gone down the line of the "Dovetail" paint strip and the lighter colors look kinda "pink-ish" in that room.) Thanks again everyone
