I can tell you that it is hard to find a big enough end table for the corner where the sofas meet! I have a 27” round table but I keep looking for a bigger one, like a big square. I have even looked for small kitchen tables that could have the legs cut down. I am sure you’ll find something and paint it and turn it into something fabulous, though!

That’s good info, Sue, thanks! I think I’ll try to find one locally (new or vintage) so I can get a feel for it.

Challenging, too, because part of it will probably have to be off the rug. I might have to get one with four legs, rather than a pedestal style.

My old sofa and love seat (and I do miss them) had huge rolled arms … I was using the old butcher block table that was in our house growing up. It wasn’t wide, but very tall and cleared those big arms perfectly. DH was actually wondering if he could cut it down to fit with the Olives.

It had always been for looks - just to hold a cake plate or whatever - so the top is pristine. And I like how quirky it is.

Two green sofas in an L??? I approve!! Of course mine have not yet even been ordered so there is that :-/ I love the room but for some reason had not registered that you are working with a corner fireplace - that makes everything more difficult but you have pulled it off perfectly. I love the burled waterfall table and think it would be the perfect base for your lucite lamp and a great backer for the sofa. You have a semi open floor plan - I do too - which is nice for sight lines but the rooms end up not being as large as they appear due to traffic patterns.

Two! It looks so good and sounds like it functions beautifully. Why do I suddenly feel the need for two sofas???

DLM and Ruby, thank you!

Hearing praise from all of you in our little corner of Houzz means the world to me. I admire all of your houses/decor/talents so much.

DLM, I had a gorgeous corner fireplace in my last house, too. (That living room was more than twice the size of this one, though.) I’m not sure I’d know how to work with any other kind anymore! 😄

You are so right about traffic patterns in these open rooms!

I love the two olives! It looks great! : )

Jilly, I just realized we have the same interior doors! How did I not notice that before?!

And you already know what I think of this room. It's so curl-uppable. (Yes, that's a phrase. I just made it up.)

Thanks, Tina and Ida!

I never realized our doors matched, either! And I love the word curl-uppable. 😍

(Try to say it fast three times.)

Culluppable.

I somehow ended up with cuppappupple. 😆

I just broke Autocorrect forever.

Jilly, I hadn’t read this thread before bc it shows one of those random ”hu“ user names as the author so I didn’t bother with it (yes I’m snobby that way🤣.) I just saw that it had a gabillion comments so I took a peek and was delighted to see it was you! The story about your beautiful chair was so touching and made me tear up. What a love story…X 2. 💕 Your room and sofas are gorgeous. As a fellow lounging couple 🤣 I can completely relate! We currently each take an end, but the 2 sofa solution is genius!

Thank you, nini!

I wonder why I show up as HU sometimes? So annoying!

I’m glad you opened it. 🥰

Jilly, so sneaky! You were goiing to hide that you had 2 olives! lol

Love the sofas and your room. I can see something like this between your sofas. The table, not all of the others things on it. ;)

Amy, thank you so much for sharing that! It’s great inspiration, as I couldn’t picture having legs on and off the rug. That’s such a beautiful vignette! I’d love finding a used table exactly like that. :)

I am looking to add more blue in, as the fabric for my chairs are mainly blue and rust. I love greens and blues together.

I love your sofas, Jilly. What a beautiful room.

Thanks, jana!

I was on IG just now and came across this:

Now I know how a burled sofa table would look. :D

The Internet had a meeting and decided I should see every green velvet sofa ever made.

I got on FB to peruse Marketplace, and this was in my Feed. I do not follow this page.

See the sofa? 😄

I think it and the object shows up on every feed🤷‍♀️

You do, as we know, have exquisite taste, Jilly!

Njmomma, I’m probably just noticing the green couches more now! :D

Cyn, thank you! :)

This one is 75. It is in Ft. Worth and 36" round. Needs some TLC but has potential!

That is lovely!

I’m going to have to stay at 2ft or under because it’s near a main pathway.

Thank you for looking for me! ❤️

Ok. Good to know your specs!

You are such a sweetie! 🥰

I love doing it! It all for my benefit! 😉

Ok, here is a 36 by 36 coffee table. Should be plenty short enough. Just a thought.

I am seeing some great ideas. I would share them all, but I am not sure exactly what it is that you want.

For 25 I can see you doing some really great things with it! Great base.

Thank you so much, Amy! I’ll check them out. :)

Jilly, do you mean the table needs to be 2 feet or under in diameter? Clarify that for Amy. I bet she can find you something!

Eileen, yes, unfortunately I can’t go bigger because it’s in a traffic area. I’d love a much more substantial one! Maybe next house. :)

Got pillows this weekend. DH chose the lumbar for his sofa, he liked the pattern and colors. I wanted brick colored pillows with tassels … looked online for days. World Market had them and they’re perfect.

My sofa has my vintage pillows I love:

DH’s sofa:

I like that I can change out pillows when the mood hits. I’d like to incorporate more earthy blues with the green, so at some point will collect a few pillows to have different looks.

ETA: My horse statue looks like a giraffe here:

Lovely room!

Thank you, Kitchenwitch!

We’re really enjoying The Olives. :)

My, you have a good eye, Jilly. Everything looks lovely and comfortable!

Pretty sofas! In a previous home we did buy a small dining table and cut the legs down...which was a job since they were metal. I loved having that big table next to my sofa.

Looks great! you really do have a good eye. I am certain that I would see those pillows online or in a store and not think they would work, but the way you have them just works perfectly.

sjerin, jmck, and salon … thank you! :)

I’m positive at some point I’ll sneak an animal print pillow in there somewhere. I love my animal prints! :D

I like the two sofas together, Jilly. They look perfect for lounging on a Saturday morning, Monday night, Friday night… heck, I could probably relax (eg sleep) on them every morning and night 😁

Thanks, K!

DH totally agrees with you. Here he is playing a game on his Olive. 😁

Love the pillows! My rug arrived today, so hoping it livens up my Ikea pillowcases, lol.

Thanks, ninasmom!

I love your pillows and rug with your Olive. :)

I have some rust plaid pillows I’m going to use for Fall. And Christmas pillows after. :D

It’s only Spring- I don’t want to think about fall and leaves!

Ok so I had to drop it to see why a sofa discussion has 300 posts. I had been here before, but I missed a lot. First I saw 2 sofas and scrolled back to see when and how your first sofa reproduced, like a starfish. I think i went back 300 posts but it turns out it was recent LOL.

Love 2 sofas. In our first house we had 2 sofas facing each other in our formal LR. My sister still has them!

Ha, Mtn! They better not reproduce again, I don’t have room for another.

We did try them facing each other, but would need a few more feet of living room.

I expect to have these a long time — DD has called dibs on them next. :D I’m actually looking forward to them looking saggy and lived-in.

My old set is 25 yrs old! Someone is supposed to pick them up this afternoon. I’ll probably cry because I’m so sentimental.

Jilly, it’s been a while since i looked at this thread, and I am thrilled to see your beautiful pillows on the olives! The whole room looks perfect and cozy. And I love your DH’s happy socks too.

Thanks, Outside!

One of these days I’ll find a fabric I can’t live without and have some custom pillows made (to add to the ones now).

Re: socks … he has a great collection. My favs are his pink and blue flamingo pair. 😄

It all is looking so great! Jilly, I love the photo with your DH! Too cute. Those socks! He must be a character. :)

Thanks, Amy!

He is. He doesn’t know I posted that picture. 😁
