My New Family Room Plan

I think I've mentioned a few times that I'm changing some things in my family room:

I may have understated things :) 

First, the floors are going to be a deep chocolate brown in a few weeks, like these:

Next, I'm changing the furniture and rug.  I'm pretty much copying one of my favorite rooms of all time, by Nate Berkus:

Well, not copying entirely, but certainly copying the feel. Oh, and the rug.  I got the exact same rug on ebay.... I'm so excited!!!  I'd been looking at the Ralph Lauren one at Horchow/Neiman's for a loooooong time, but could never justify the cost, so I was thrilled to find this "copy."  I know the Ikea one is the same, too, but it's been out of stock in my area forEVER.

Next, the furniture.  I ordered new furniture at a local store in dark gray and white.  I got this sofa in a white fabric that has the littlest bit of a sparkle woven into it.  Much prettier than the fabric pictured, in my opinion:

I also ordered two loveseats in dark gray velvety fabric.  These will go across from each other where the blue chairs and white loveseat are now.  This is the closest image I can find to the ones I ordered - love the bench seat:

But the fabric (and floors and layout) looks more like this:

The center tables are these bunching tables - four of them in a square so they can be pulled over to put a computer, food, etc. on:

Here they are in the room, although the floors and furniture haven't changed yet....I think they'll look better with the new style room:

 Finally, the console behind the main sofa will be this:

Can you see the Nate influences?  I ran out of money, but if I could I would add an etagere like one of  these:

And a bar cart like one of these:

And a couple of fretwork chairs like these for near the fireplace:

So, it will look like this, but with the main sofa being white, not beige:

And I'll most certainly be painting, and most probably it will be white.  Here are the many, many inspiration photos that I pulled from:
