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

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. Upholstery: Yves Klein Blue, Maharam Adrienne DeRosa Photography © 2013 Houzz
