I'm In Love With Jade Velvet

As soon as I saw the picture below, I fell hard for the idea of having jade velvet couches.



I love that they are colorful yet somehow they still read as a nuetral. I even played around with using them as a nuetral and adding color. I present to you my novice moodboard:


This couch is too teal for my tastes, but it gives me an idea
I have sourced the exact shade of velvet from a local store and have even received a quote from an upholsterer. The upholstery guy is even coming out next week to assess whether the couches I have in mind are worth recovering. Which brings me to my next my point- the couches. I offered to buy the couches that are currently in the house. The sellers accepted after a little back and forth. As long as Ken (as I will now affectionately call my upholsterer) says they are worth keeping, I scored big time.


I also bought the dinning room chairs, but I essentially bought both couches for $100.  They are huge and have low backs with the classic three pillowed back. Even if I change my mind on the jade velvet, I think these couches could work into a few different looks. If not, donation station!
