My Houzz: A Paean to the 1950s and '60s in Pennsylvania

Midcentury Living Room, Philadelphia

Moving into their house with little furniture, the Fishers were pleasantly surprised to see details such as this built-in sofa. The cove lighting and built-ins helped shorten the list of necessities, and added a thoughtful touch to the design. Bobbie chose wool upholstery in bright blue to recover the sofa. While orange seemed a natural choice, Bobbie realized that there was already a lot of orange around the house. To compliment the sofa's new shade, she displays her bargello needlepoint pillows that deliver the perfect dose of citrus.
