I made a trip over to Ikea to check out some fabrics to see what would go well with the general tone of the interior.  They didn’t have any huge variety but I picked up some samples in brown, tan and off white.  I decided that the tan and off-white work very well. I  didn’t care for the browns at all.  Too dark and nasty looking.

I also took some photos of how the cushions were constructed before returning them so I would have some ideas about how to construct the new ones.  I decided I do like the top in two layers.
