Paul - really impressive what you've done with the space! Could you tell me where exactly you got the glass hurricane with the dyptique candle in it? i'd like to find the same one. thanks so much!

Emily B - thanks for the insightful post. I mean, really, my poor future mother-in-law paid for something my boyfriend picked out all on his (misguided) own and now she's turned into a controlling witch with whom I will have a lifelong struggle...

Missbetty- you're absolutely right. and i love entertaining, so thanks for pointing out the obvious thing that we all missed here!

thanks, again, everyone for all the great feedback. i really like the idea about painting the wall it goes against (red or brown?), or even turning it into a banquette by the dining area.

i do however feel i need to make a clarification because the conversation has turned into one about personal relationships rather than sofas.... the sofa was a gift from his mother. i don't want to just throw it away any more than i'd want to throw away a gift from my own mother.

Lisa - thanks for making this point. My question isn't who's couch is in better taste. That would be an entirely pointless question to post on AT where everyone loves MCM. The question is how to make it work? I definitely want to incorporate dark brown accents because it's the most obvious color that both sofas will go with. I also was thinking about putting some tall wooden bun feet on his - a sort of 180 from the piece itself. Either way, thanks everyone for the feedback.

And as far as my sofa goes, I bought it at Domicile and it wasn't too expensive. They closed their city store, but I think they still have one in Lincolnwood.
