Before I moved to this house, I had this Ligne Roset Nomade sofa. It was great for a one-bedroom loft apartment because it slept two guests. But at nearly 10 feet wide, there was no way it would work in my cottage. I also had a huge, low white glass coffee table that would have taken up the other half of the room. The coffee table went to friend and half of the sofa went to charity.
I replaced it with a Mitchell Gold Alex II slipcovered sofa. I don't LOVE slipcovered sofas but I like the versatility of switching out different colored and patterned slipcovers. And having three cats, I like being able to throw them in the washer whenever needed. This is the sofa you saw in the newly painted room with a Char Brown (warm gray) slipcover.
This is the Mountain Grass rug I bought from eBay vendor, Natural Home Rugs, that matches the one in the dining room. They were having a 25% off sale--and free shipping--last week so the timing was perfect.
I also bought this Wyatt chair from Mitchell Gold (although not in this color). I got it upholstered in a cream/chino khaki color. Since everything else in the room is very square, I like the curved lines. Since the room is small, I also liked the fact you can see under it, taking up less visual space.
This is the same chair with a slipcover I found at this Jayson Home and Garden store in Chicago. Check out the Flea section of their website. They've got some great stuff. I ordered with chair with a slipcover, but I panicked about my fabric choice when I got home and I called to cancel it. But I love this chair with the slipcover.
A friend of mine bought me this Pia coffee table from Crate and Barrel furniture as a house warming gift. It's perfect for a small room because it's almost invisible.
This is a close-up of the coffee table detail. It's kind of an aged bronze color and has a hand-forged feel to it.
So these are only things I know are going back into the living room at this point.
