So, I concevied a plan. I would dye the aforementioned unbleached cotton couch covers a darker shade - dark tan or brown - to match the new throw pillows. I bought the dye and dug the plain covers out of storage. That was last year sometime. Finally, in September, thanks to my awesome sis-in-law Amy for allowing me to use her washing machine, I did the dye. I really like the color they turned out. Unfortunately, when I put them on my couches, I didn't like the overall effect. I liked the black ones better!
So, I conceived another plan. I would buy some fabric and make new covers for my throw pillows. Ta-dah!
An unanticipated bonus was that the dark cream color in the new fabric exactly matches the paint color of my desk and my puzzle table!
While I was at it, I also made a matching cover for the body pillow I've been using as a cushion on my bench. Now I think I need to paint the bench black... or maybe black and dark cream? What do you think?

Ooh ... Dark cream maybe? Woman, where do you live from me?
Walk North down that little street just East of your house, and keep going - across the lawn at the end. When you get to the fence, turn left (West) and follow the fence until it ends. Then turn right (North again) and push through the bushes. Then you'll be at the steps that go down into the basement where I live.
I hear you're the RS pres in my Uncle John's ward... I was going to suggest that you come to the family ward, but not if you get to have John as your bishop. Lucky!
I think maybe a combination, like your puzzle table: black horizontal surfaces and cream on the verticals, or vice versa. I also think (still) that a light moss-colored or sage carpet would blend in beautifully. Oh well.
