I think you're at risk of too many colors, too busy of a look. The bookshelves are great, but they call for a less cluttered living room to keep it from becoming a mishmash. I would try to match the color of the table to the wood arms of the chair, as Becky suggested, or preferably vice-versa, although admittedly that would be much more difficult. If you really want to paint, match the white trim, or the dark sofa. With the new rug and the chair and the books you've got a lot of color going on. I really like it!

p.s. I've been looking at that Lenox sofa on R&B's website, but I'm afraid to buy before I try. How comfortable is it? I know it's not pillow-like, but is it easy to sit in? I admired the Camden from Crate and Barrel until I tried it. It was quite stiff and uncomfortable. Do you like it?

I almost bought the Camden but couldn't get around how scratchy the fabric is, and can't spring for the extra thousand or so to choose another cover. I really like the look of the 80" Lenox sofa on Room and Board's web site. Does anyone have experience with it? Have you tried it at a showroom? I'd like to know if it's comfortable and what you think it will look like in a few years. Maybe someone should start a business of trying out Room and Board sofas and charging consulting fees from those of us who don't live near a showroom!
