Creating a New Living Room:

We did it. Moved the giant flamingo sofa to our Theatre room and chose a new one for the Living room near our Kitchen:

I fell in love wih this traditional Hancock & Moore "Chanel like" quilted sofa in a perfect Gray shade and the two Scottish wing chairs.

We are so not done!!
Need a coffee table;
Need pillows;
Need a painting;
Need a carpet.

Seriously it is fun.

Looked at some galleries as we want Rockies scenery here...

Which artist is your cup of tea?

1. Graham Shaw:

2. Pei Yang:

3. Jim Vest:

So pretty. Cubistic or impressionist ... Gorgeous. Which artist do you like?

Wishing you a productive start of the week.

Living room sofa, why the dilemma?

This is our living room...

Once again I would love to hear from you and hear your opinions!

The giant 14ft Marge Garson rococo sectional (and the table) is moving into our theatre room downstairs, that will become our relaxing family room and that is a lovely thing.

Now what to do upstairs...? In my mind I was gonna create this softly elegant French inspired living room... Until I run into this gorgeous victorian sofa, but I would select a true soft gray shade of leather.

COMBINATION A: VICTORIAN SOFA, SCOTTISH CHAIR:

I also equally love this practical side chair, which was discovered in an old gentleman's club in England. Especially in this light colored leather and partly soft gray leather combo. So stunning. Never mind the pillows and the coffee table that are just there in the store (Eisenberg Calgary).

Normally I lean towards these types of "easy on the eye" sofas on photos...smiles.

This French modern sofa...below, not bad, by Marge Garson.
Gray it MUST be!

ADDITION TO MY ORIGINAL POST:
I WENT BACK TO THE STORE...AND SAT ON LOTS OF COMFY SOFAS!

FINDING THIS ARGYLE BEAUTY, I admit, this is a very unusual combination for me but I am falling in love with it by the minute, mixing traditional style with modern fabrics and textures and messign with the centuries is jut fine by me...

COMBINATION B: CLASSIC ARGYLE SOFA, SCOTTISH CHAIR:

This beige piece below is more modern sleek or deco ...goes with lots of interiors but I doubt the Scottish chairs would be fine here... and perhaps not the best over all. Quite lovely though...another life, another room ...

Similar in leather, hmmm, not now, not our house.

So why do I love sitting on, looking at the Victorian reproduction piece cir. 1880 now? I don't know but I love it... How do I make it more casual in our living room and more sophisticated and yet casual French style? What is your recommendation here?

Please let me know and send me some photos or sofa makers I should look at! This is a fun process and I love these dilemmas, don't you?
Back to doing puzzle with my little boy!

P.S. PLEASE TELL ME WHICH OPTION (A or B) is your favourite one? Thank you!
