I had posted a request for opinions on upholstery for this sectional. Here's the result.

I can dig it.
Nice work. Handsome set.
What fabric did you end up with? It's speaking to me.

Fabric
Thanks! I was trying to find a fabric that came really close to the original and this one really was the closest I could find. Best of all I found it on newtoto.com. I was able to get the fabric for $150.00. Pretty amazing price. It's a soft, very heavy chenille.

Close up
Will you take a close up of the fabric? It looks wonderful from far away, I just want to see the texture and colors closer 🙂

I don't have any other pics right now but if you follow the link you can see what I have up on flickr. You can make the pics larger. And you can see the before pics there, too.

You did a great job with the sofa. It looks very comfortable. That is a hard thing to find in a lot of MCM sofa's. But I've got to be honest- I'm in love with your Paul McCobb desk and chairs. Sorry for snooping through the rest of your pictures.

Thanks.Snoop, it's funny you saw the McCobb pieces. Now that I have the Nelson sectional I don't have room for the McCobb's in my house anymore!

The closest I could find
on your source's site is this "Croft - Evergreen".
Is that it?

Great fabric choice!...
Great fabric choice! Off-topic, do you have any info on the pair of lamps in the background? I've long sought a similar pair with no luck.

Lamps
I wish I knew what brand they are. I found these at a local thrift shop for 7 dollars for the pair. The inner shade has leaves pressed into them. Really beautiful.
If you ever find out what brand please let me know!
