It's amazing how the futon frame echoes the straight newel post and balusters. Everything else we own is so old, it fits right into the nearly 100 years-old house without much effort. The green lamp came from my grandfather's store in Cooperstown, NY, about 50 years ago. Auger's Bookstore was an independent bookstore & stationery. That store is presently being turned into a new micro-brewery, Cooperstown Beverage Exchange. For nearly 50 years, my grampa sold stationery, newspapers, books, greeting cards, gifts, toys, typewriters, lamps, office supplies and ladies' purses & bags. As a result, most of our family has an on-going lust for office supplies and books that surpasses most other interests. We tease each other about it.
The living room has yet to be painted, have pictures and draperies hung, and, since books are such a problem, we haven't exactly worked that out yet. To burn the books and simply use a Kindle would be sacrilege. We are open to suggestions.
Here are the colors we've stared at for the last three months for the living room:
