Door Options for Office/Closet


I am trying to decide what doors I can use in the office/closet area.  There are no windows in the room, so I was thinking about doing something with glass to let in natural light.  Can I mix French doors with solid doors at the end of a hallway (top right) and in the bedroom (bottom right)?

Chair options between "Handcock & Moore" and "Holland and Company"

Here are the chairs I was able to pull off of the 2 websites.  Some of them are close, but they aren't exactly how I remember the chairs sitting next to the fire place.  Seperately, I wonder how these chairs would / wouldn't go with the Fulham couch from Restoration Hardware.

Holland and Company

Handcock & Moore


Although a couch, I remember the style somewhat like this.




Closest in style, but I remembered it being more distressed.  Seat was also very worn.  Not as plump.

KC Condo - Furniture Decisions

Still in the process of moving in, so please excuse the boxes/clutter. 
View from entryway - Bedroom is to your immediate right (not pictured) and then followed by the Kitchen.  Dining/Breakfast area are to your left.  Big Living Room is immediately ahead.


 View from Kitchen into Living Room - Planning to put TV on the wall to left with couch in the middle of the room.

Office - Opposite Wall in Living Room - Planning to use that for Office area.  Bathroom door to your right (not pictured).  Wraps back behind kitchen into Bedroom.
Color Swatch of Couch against Stained Concrete


Fulham Couch from Restoration Hardware - Bottom pic is from the store.  Couch is going to be the color of the top picture.   

What do you think about this couch?  What do you think about this couch in my unit?  I was also thinking about the matching Ottoman.  One Designer in a furniture store told me using an Ottoman to create the Chaise lounge was more versatile than committing to a Right or Left Chaise Lounge. 



 Other Couches:
Nebraska Furniture Mart - Lazar Nicole - I like the clean lines on this couch. Was thinking about doing it in a tan fabric and then brown leather Welting if I didn't do a brown leather couch.
Nebraska Furniture Mart - This couch stuck out to me.  I unfortunately didn't like the extra deep couch and subsequent need for a lot of pillows.  I also wasn't fond of the tall arms.


Nebraska Furniture Mart - This chair reminds me of the one at the Tye's beach house in Sea Island, but I recall that their couch was more distressed looking.  I remember the seat looking as if it had been sit in for decades.  (1) Would we still be able to find those chairs, & (2) Would they go with the Fulham couch I picked above, or would it be safer to go with a fabric couch like the 2nd one I picked out?

Kitchen Table:
Pottery Barn - Benchwright Dining Table - Picture from the store above.  Picture from the website below. I think it would go nicely against the wall opposite the kitchen cabinets.  I do wonder how practical and versatile it would be in my next place.  It seems rather large.
