After rearranging our living room, moving the sofa to the wall was the best use of space. However, my husband did not like the feel of pushing furniture right up against the wall (it had a "frat house" feel as he put it). I agreed with him, and searched high and low for a console table that was wide enough but still quite narrow to go in between the sofa and the wall. This was a winner. The only downside is our couch covers up the table, and you can't see how pretty it actually is. The gold is like an aged brass, and the glass is a showstopper. Now searching for the perfect lamps and accessories to complete the look of our newly revamped living room space.
