I agree with Judy M. And at minimum, I prefer that the front feet of both sofas be on the rug. But there are many different configurations that work.

Have you thought about getting slipcovers made? If you wanted to go with a cottage look white or off white would look good with your rustic fireplace. Don't be afraid of the white, slipcovers that are made well will last a long time, and can be washed even bleached. I have had mine for probably 9 years now. Love that you can wash them. I would skirt the bottom of the slipcovers. I think it would really transform them. You could bring in some blue accents with pillows, etc. Some pictures on your wall with some ocean blues would look nice with some rustic touches like antlers, shells etc.

I love it. My only concern is this: this will be our only group sitting area. We don't have a family room or any other joint "comfy" rooms in the house. This was why I was concerned the barcelonas would be to clinical. But I like this couch, it looks like it could be very comfy. Also, the boyfriend wants this for the couch: http://www.steeldomus.com/lc2_3_seats_sofa_le_corbusier.htm Its a bit above our price range and again i'm worried about how comfy it will be and if it is too "doctor" office clinical. Thank you for your input and apologies if i'm being annoying with so many questions.
