I'm looking to buy a sectional and like the clean lines of the Delaney at Crate & Barrel: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=960&f=25940

BUT the back cushions feel too short and I can't lean back (and I'm only 5'4!). I also liked the look of the Thompkins sectional at West Elm...

BUT it seriously felt like I was sitting on a bag of straw. Can anyone else suggest some similar sectionals? Thanks!

I have a espresso bed with a headboard with a painted teal wash underlay. I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate teal into the room in a way that won't be overpowering. I like this paint job here: http://www.shakinstyle.com/images/2007/04/22/gasl13_warmmodern_2.jpg

However, since my bedroom set is so dark, I am worried about the effect. I tried to find some complimentary colors to teal, but only came up with tan (which my husband hates as a wall color).

Any other color suggestions? Or do you think teal walls (with my ceiling remaining white) wouldn't be too dark?

I thought maybe teal curtains would work, but then, what to do about the walls?

Thanks, jamienuccio. The Jonathan Adler looks great!
