Better Pictures below: budge1, I did find a nice velvet, but with a 6 year old, and lots of family members w/small children... I think I would end up hating it. Anyone hate footprints on carpet!? I d, and some fabrics remind me of that and it would drive me nuts. annie1971, thanks. I really am not concerned at all about the pillows - just the big expensive sofa! The chairs and sofa are actually from 2 different companies. This picture is more accurate in colors/texture . The sofa picture is a soft chenille. brutuses, thank you. The chair fabric is from Huntington House... and I love it too and feel comfortable with this, but with the difficulty I am having finding a sofa fabric... I am doubting my selection! Les, as always - thank you for your help! I have included (pic below)a great strip fabric that I found that I was thinking of adding for pillows. What do you think? Squirrel, what will I ever do without you!? You have such a great memory of my on going project! First, the fireplace width is only 66" (should have been 76-78")I need to play around with this area more, but as I see it now - it will look odd because it will end up tall and narrow. (does that make sense?) but the pre-fab ones will not work at this point, because all the legs are too short. As far as lighting - I have only purchased the bathrooms so far - so that is open to change, but I definitely want a warm, light bronze color or a silver bronze color. I am in Florida now, and I have seen both warmer tones as well as darker - and like both. Living with one or the other.. hard to say! Previous homes, I have had brown/beige and it was okay, favorite sofa I had was a solid chenille green, light the green in the chair fabric. I did love that room - it felt cozy. In the 80's I had my first new sofa - MAUVE - oh yuck, I hated it after just a few months! I don't "have" to purchase the furniture now, but since I already invested so much time, and I do need furniture to sit on (if I don't buy - room will be totally empty as the old is already gone). It takes 12 weeks ++ I really want to finish this! Oh.. and paint, I do just have a light neutral right now, but think I would change the paint to SW blond or restrained gold if I go with the new sofa color. gk5040 Thanks for your help too! This is another option... I like the color and color-wise is is almost the same as my first fabric. It is also a soft fabric, but look very close at the picture and you will see that it does have a light pattern to it (which is why I have initially voided it) Pattern has slanted lines /\ /\

OK,these pictures are a bit better. Which one do you like best with the chairs and wall color? The second and third picture are the same fabric and are appear more taupe, but it is a variation of strands of gold and green that work with the green and yellow/gold in the black floral. I think it is visually interesting and i like the texture. I wish I could get a picture that shows the true color. The wall color/paint is shown, as well as the sectional sofa. My sectional will be as shown, but with one less section. This line you can customize sofa size, legS, back cushions and arms. Thanks to everyone!

oh I just can't bring myself to order fabric online, it's just something I have to see and touch in person so I always end up going to a fabric store instead. I still prefer to see the whole width of fabric myself so I can really judge how it looks over a larger area but I'm just not one of those people who can visualize things that well unless it's in front of me. I think at the very least you need to see a sample, and it's good you waited it out to get one because what a disappointment if it arrived and wasn't what you wanted.

Natural stone comes from Mother Nature's quarry, which is full of variations. Take up quality control with her on the variation. Buy double. Or else go buy whole slabs of higher quality marble and have the slab fabricator cut them into squares. Then use an old fashioned mud bed to set them into like the old robber barons used to do for their real mansions. Thinset Chinese marble isn't going to give a mcmansion the same look. Not by half.
