Now the suggestions are starting look like my original comment which got a thumbs down! Glad to see lynartist is on the same page with me - vibrant eclectic - just the surroundings those gentlemen and that throne need!

Here are some pics you could choose from to put in family photo frames on a table

I am going to pick this couch up as soon as I get the funds. It comes in a variety of leathers as well as other colors in upholstery fabric. Also they will send you swatches free of charge. Fabric Sofa and Landry Leather sofa .

You need enough seating for the whole Tribe. ;)

That explains all the Houzztech probs I've had. Is it making you sign in heaps of times a day?

I'm on browser, are you on app?

Sorry, can't help you then. Margo has put out Emily's email on Jan Moyers thread, if that helps, otherwise the Using Houzz threads get her attention.

Karennn!!!! It's me your long lost Fiend.. i mean Friend! (Lyn, that there was not a spellcheck or autocorrect problem). I do like the Paris sofa, thanks. I think I will hold my phone up to the room to visualize better. I have software but its so sticky to work with.

Lyn, you need to call Ghostbusters, the movie is out just in time for you.

the colors are not for this room but drooooll !!!

I didn't know they made them that big!

When I saw the lead sentence I knew it had to be you. So glad to see you back and working hard. You've been missed...very much! :) I like the sofa also because of the vertical channels rather than the usual tufting and the styling of the arms.

Now we have to call in Cynthia Taylor-Luce!

Karen fyi I have been plagiarizing this sentence of yours ALL the time since you wrote it in response to my idea to paint the room adjacent to the pur-blue room YELLOW: "running with my hair on fire" It still makes me break into a fit of laughter.

Lyn I think I need to further refine my intended function of the sofa. 1) relax-- to me that means browse Houzz and get sidetracked with interesting articles like "lose belly fat in 30 seconds, forever!" and also to just listen to some good Vivlaldi and Pachabel and enjoy room and my glass of... water. 2) study, write papers, etc-- that entails using my iPad. I do have a freestanding stand for the iPad BUT I do not like armless things-- chairs, sofas, settees, tadpoles, whatever.

OK I will update! thanks all!

*** Lyn can you tell me how you painted the armor btw? what type of paint? did you sand?

Decoupage! Brilliant!! So how did you apply it? Can you just put down paper on top of the aluminum and then clear PU on top?

You should be shopping at Design Tuscano, or Ballard Designs (Google them online) - you'll find plenty of furniture and accent pieces that will fit the bill. Frankly, I love the idea that you want to indulge your fantasies and go "over the top" in at least one room of your house. Or two. You should have fun with it, and offer something unique that friends and family can always remember. As additional inspiration, pick up some old copies of English "Country Life" magazine and see how some of those old country houses are decorated, many with arms and armor, tapestries, loads of old books and portraits - all the kinds of things that make for curiosity and great conversation. In an approach like this, be advised, there are no "half-measures." Good Luck.

update-- found this loveseat selling second hand-- seems to be appropriate for the spcae- -BUT do you think the 75" length is ok?
