A few (eventual) changes in the family room

At some point this year we're going to replace our leather couch in the family room with either a longer sofa or a small sectional. I can't wait!!! We spend the most time in the family room, so I want to make it more cozy. Remember how I've been looking for floor cushions; well I think I finally found a winner!! 

We already have the mirror, tray table, and coffee table. Aside from the sofa and floor cushions I'm just playing around with some of the accessories. I wish I could just snap my fingers and come home to this room....

I'll Have My Secretary Get Back to You....

Is it just me, or have there been a lot of beautiful secretary desks published lately??

*How fun would it be to wallpaper the inside of the cabinets?!

I would love to have a secretary in my living room! It's such a traditional piece of furniture; I think it'd be fun to mix it with lucite and other modern accents! Here's what I found on Craigslist:

I'd prefer one that's not painted, but for $150, it's not bad! I love the paneled glass cabinet doors (is that the correct term for them?)! 

This one's a serious beauty:

It's $500. That seems like a lot to me (considering Mr. Frankel's in Law School), but it's probably actually very reasonably priced. It'd be great to wallpaper too!!!

This one is only $125, but it doesn't have the paneled glass cabinet doors. Shoot. 

Here's my favorite (when you consider price and looks):

At $275, it's much less expensive than the $500 secretary I love (and I'd negotiate for much less anyways). What are your thoughts on this type of furniture?
