I think you've chosen a lovely location and will enjoy it very much once you are settled in and can take a deep breath or two.<br /><br />I like the striped couch but that's just me, as for the wood I believe rooms look good with a mix of wood tones so if you love that one you will make it work. By the way I call them couches too but find not many others do, something else those of us in parts of PA and MN have in common.<br /><br />Enjoy those grandchildren, see you when you have time to relax and catch up.Lois@Living In Denimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16368939902298894344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-74170453921154655312016-07-13T00:50:44.119-07:002016-07-13T00:50:44.119-07:00They're couches, none of this east coast sofa ...They're couches, none of this east coast sofa silliness.

I like the beachy sofa if you can get it in a neutral colour. I do like the blue and white stripes too but I'm imagining it is a little harder to match things or get complementary things to go with it. I too would lean toward the vinyl shade on the left and the carpet shade on the right though I'm sure you'll pick a shade that meets your needs. Dark carpet shows absolutely everything. The coffee shop looks very nice and the setting sounds perfect.
