So I got this great fabric that is a close match, just a tad darker:
I also worked on my chair a bit- its going to be white with a creamish linen-type fabric. This way I can add a pretty throw and pillow to it but it also brings the white of the couch to the other side of the room. I KNOW everyone said do a color on it- but since I can't make up my mind and I'm always changing what I want, I figured this was the best choice for now.
I also made a stop at my favorite Goodwill to see if they had anything and I found a few fun things-
This cute Soup Tureen- unfortunately there was no top, but that's ok because I think I'm going to use it for my Halloween party and serve drinks out of it
Also found these great silver plated (I'm assuming they are not sterling silver, but they don't say) gravy boat and sugar holder. There was no creamer to match the sugar holder, but again it's ok because I will use it for something other than its intended use.
Now I've got to get to work on my new blue pillows- I think the room is finally coming together!

Love all your finds! That soup tureen is so gorgeous. And I love a cream-colored chair. Don't you want to do a step-by-step on how to redo a chair? I am so curious! I keep seeing chairs on CL and wondering if I could do that!
Yay for great goodwill finds! and love how the room is coming along.
Great finds! I'm always on board for a white chair with fun throw pillows! Such the best way when you're always wanting new design updates!
Lookin' good and great GW finds!
I love the color of the pillows! Cannot wait to see the finished product!
Love that blue fabric - it's perfect!
Which Goodwill do you go to? The huge one on Harrison or somewhere else? I've been to that one, but must've hit it on an off day. i didn't see anything like the pieces you found!
Look on the bottom of the silver if you see the number 311 or some # in the 300's its silver. Great finds btw. I love the pillow fabric--really cute! xoxo
Love the chair color and the blue fabric. I can't wait to see the finished product. I nominated you for an Honest Scrap Award. Come by my page to get the details.
A plant in the tureen on the sideboard or even a small plant in the sugar holder would be nice, I think!
Great finds. I'm not going to post on your house questions bc I think you found some answers... but just wanted to say that it all looks great! xx-brooke
