I would suggest looking at some of Apartment Therapy's nursery design posts for inspiration. I don't have kids so they don't apply to me, but I often find a couple of things that I would like to have in my house. Kid and adult friendly!

I think a good step toward your final goal would be to toss the back cushions and make it a pillow back couch. New foam is so expensive, and a bunch of mismatched fun pillows is a good way to give the couch some life until you can commit to the cost of a refurbish. I have a similar couch and instead of upholstering it, I removed the ugly skirt with a boxcutter, made a snugly fitting slipcover and pinned it to the underside of the couch so that it has the look of a reupholster but way cheaper and it's removable/washable. It's amazing how revealing the legs makes it looks so much more modern! Good luck

Thanks for the eye candy in the fourth one

Thanks for introducing me to Spoonflower! You can upload images and make your own custom fabric! It's like that one episode of Project Runway come to life. I just realized I sound like I secretly work for Spoonflower. I'll expect my check in the mail guys.

I agree that the first post is mean! Framing seems like a good idea, but if it is a really new looking flag with bright whites and colors I would suggest asking him if you could antique it a little bit so it doesn't look so college dorm. Maybe a little tea dye to soften the contrast of the colors and a little roughing it up with some sandpaper?

As far as decorating together, I usually narrow it down to a couple of options and then let him choose which one he likes the best. That way he is involved but it saves you the frustration of having to agree on something in the vast sea of lamps/rugs/curtains/bedding, etc.

Woah! Does anyone know where the filter is on a top loader?

It looks awesome! As for the texture, I believe you are supposed to lightly sand the fabric in between coats to get rid of the scratchiness. Well done though!
