During a "mood" last week I sold all our living room furniture on Craigslist.

Thank goodness for oversized throw pillows and flokati rugs!

The old vintage couch

bought in 1971 by the hubbie's stepdad

Strictly oversized cushions or tatami mats and low tables in the space could work.

This is a great piece by Rossana Orlandi that's reminiscent of 1950s throw cushions.

Mah-Jong by Roche Bobois is stunning and could be the answer!

photo
We did go price out and choose our fabric for this fabulous couch by Montauk - but unfortunately it wouldn't fit through our apartment door - it's very very deep!

photo
A gorgeous piece by Moroso but too big as well.

and this one is pretty but would be just too uncomfortable

Inge Sempe Satin Chantilly sofa for edra

Perhaps.

I'm starting to feel a touch like Goldilocks...
