Thankfully, Jim's brother Steve is an expert with fabrics -- colors and textures.

He makes men's suits for a living, so he's up on all the best types of fabrics in terms of durability, etc. Plus, he's got good taste!

We decided on some different textures and color choices in the earth-tones. (Similar to what you see here.)

Talk about thinking outside the box!... Steve was right when he said that a sofa in a suede-like mint/sage green color (with accent pillows in violet and deep sage), next to a chair & matching footstool in a textured cinnamon color, next to a fun fresh spiral-designed chair in the colors of mustard, cinnamon, and violet would all look GREAT together!
