Want to help me find accessories for my new living room??

This is my room inspiration... I found couches which I am going to get which are on sale and a great lower priced version of the blue/gray ones. I also have two armless chairs that I am going to reupholster (sp?).

Now for everything else... I think I need a big square coffee table-- I am afraid of glass/stone because of DD, but I don't want a big hunk of wood in the middle of the room. Then I'll also need some square end tables-- but the LAMPs are what are really important and throw pillows. eta-- I want to do something a bit more colorful in terms of pillows.

Those lamps look custom made from vases with a lamp kit and a custom shade = $$$$$.

How big is your room?
For lighting I would go to
Lamps Plus
Home Goods
Target

As for the throw pillows - I like over 20 inches. Measure the height of the back of your couch. Equal to or larger than the back of your couch will give it a custom look.
For pillows I would go to:
Domain
West Elm
Pottery Barn
Crate and Barrel
Home Goods
William Sanoma Hometall vase lamp

or you could do the whole ottoman as coffee table thing

maybe you could find an ottoman in the fabric you are going to re-upholster with or find a cheap one you can re-upholster?

I actually think a print using both couch and chair color might be nice on the ottoman as long as u break it up with something solid on top of it...like the breakfast tray or something

I would go with a square ottoman-leather or upholstered. I think I would go with a light color ( close the the rug if you are keeping it like the pic), so it wouldn't be a focal point--it would sort of disappear the the way the glass does.

I actually bought two of these lamps for my bedroom!!! I guess if I end up not liking them there, I can try them in the LR!
