I am looking forward to seeing the reps presentation.

This is a small house and he encouraged us to not over decorate it with too much furniture which I like.

i will need three sofas and I do want one to be taupe/beige. But this one will be tucked further back and won’t be seen from when you enter the house.

i really like a blue striped sofa in the showroom and that will go in the den. The den is the first room off the living area so your eye will see it along with the main area.

That'd be totally my thing.

Do you mean one (main) color in the house? Or one (main) color in the room?

I always liked using one color (neutral for the big, pricey items ) and being able to change/add color with accessories.

Well the trend will change, but if it were me I think I would want two of the three sofas to be the same or all three of them. Like the idea of two done in stripes.

A disclaimer, I am someone who recently replaced my neutral sectional with two sofas same model, different fabric. One sofa is neutral, a pale beige velvet and the other sofa is turquoise and beige tweed. Love the look of my new sofas.

What you have to decide is do you like colour?

My own story - we redid our kitchen 10 years ago and bought into the neutral kitchen with interest brought in through texture idea. I hate it and I have spent 10 years trying to bring colour back in and it's hard in a kitchen. When I look at my old kitchen it was full of colour in the backsplash and the counter and I still love it.

So think very carefully before you embrace this idea.

Eld, are you on Florida’s east or west coast? If you like to mix interesting old with new I can keep my eye out for you and send you links in your messages. I’m always looking anyway. Right now I’m seeking vintage guest room furniture. I‘m not holding my breath, been looking for a while for just the right thing. No luck yet.
