Generating ideas...

Ok, so I am slowly getting back into home decor mode.  It's a place I love to be actually, but with a busy summer and getting kids pieced back together, I had bigger fish to fry.    On my mind currently- redoing the upstairs living room- which was sort of a "catch all" room for random furniture pieces when we moved in. 

I want to make it:
 comfortable,
somewhat teenager and black Lab friendly
(bye bye dream of white slipcovered sofas)
a mix of industrial and antique,
a fun old architectural piece (door, shutters,?)
with new furniture (sleeper sofa, maybe table, chairs)
but keep it uncluttered
so not lots of little stuff around to dust
and also have a family photo wall.

I am thinking black, greige, cream and white...

And I have been gathering ideas lots of different places, especially from my new, THICK IKEA catalog...



or maybe in this fun green color...


 
Today, I'm looking here:



Feel free to comment with any ideas you have for me as well...
