a fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference...as well as a great photographer for those after shots. Great space planning. Any closet space or closed off storage solutions carved out?

my parents just got this sofa and it is perfect for elderly!! Check out the features. In fact, as soon as I saw it and leaned back in it I made the joke that they could hook me up to an IV right there! I understand you have budget concerns... but I am sure your mother would get such good use out of this one and Macys does sales quite often! Plus when you consider the short life span of an ikea couch.... I would just bite the bullet and make an INVESTMENT that you could potentially inherit and keep in the family for a while....

I dont know what your ceiling height is but if you need a "statement fixture" you could do something rectangular and long to go with (and be functional) the linear feel of the room. OR to oppose that feeling, you could do two circular cieling lights, like this http://www.eurostylelighting.com/eu01354.htm ( i suggest this b/c i dont know your cieling height).

another solution that i think would add value to your home if you ever waned to sell would be to get recessed lights on a dimmer system. then get a few accent table lamps of any kind. you dont have to spend an arm/leg on table lamps either. plenty of functional inexpensive options like http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40195350. you could get three or four of these and feel like you are getting a bang for your buck.
also, depending on where you live a ceiling fan can be functional and there are amazingly cool blown glass ones on dimmers etc. that could make your house feel completely different:http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&productId=202075587&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&srccode=cii_10043468&cpncode=25-24496961-2&cm_mmc=shopping-_-shopzilla-_-D27-_-202075587&locStoreNum=3631. if you did this, i would still suggest floor/table lamps or recessed lighting too.

hope this helps

i completely agree. consider getting a solid pin stitched blanket from pb. or something textural to the touch but solid in terms of pattern. you could do anything from lavendar to a sage green to bring out the green in the painting...

also, think about its function. maybe it could become your "catch all" that way, you are covering up the fabric anyway. :)

maybe a rug undrneath it would also help give the chair another feeling?

have you thought about getting the chair cleaned? i dont know how expensive that is but i really see this chair with a purple pillow. i think thats all it really needs to give it a different feeling. plus-your lighting seems to be the factor that makes this chair look drab. if anything i would consider what kind of lighting would essentially either compliment, enhance or help push the chair to the background (whichever one you are going for).
