Score!

Christmas came early and a few days late this year.  Look what we scored!

Settee Circa 1890s

Needles to say, we won't be painting this white!

Is there such a thing as winter cleaning?  If so, we've definitely made out like bandits.  Last week our friend Jane and her beau gave us their extra bed (congratulations on the co-habitation!!! :) ).  Then our good friend Crysta offered us a chandelier that didn't quite fit her dining room.   And finally, attempting to make space for the new baby, our neighbor gave us an antique sofa that has been in her family for three generations!!!

DH and I are still debating to either outsource the project or DIY the refurbishing and reupholstering.  In the mean time, I'm looking for some inspiration!

I love this mint green fabric

Remain traditional?

I love the cream fabric with chocolate pattern.

Too Busy?

Or maybe go a completely different direction and go BOLD! 

Too Bold?

This yellow makes me happy!

What do you think?  Should we go traditional or bold?  Have another suggestion?
