Help! Sofa, Pillows, Paint.

I have an old home, 100+ years old, that still has the original woodwork. I have spoke on here before about painting the original dark woodwork white, but I know I'll never do it. [maybe for the next house!]This afternoon I was browsing the internet for sofa ideas. [mine needs a punch up with pillows and such] and I found this amazing before and after on Domino's website. This image really makes me rethink painting my woodwork!

Right now I only have two pillows for my sofa. They are a great orange, lime green, and aqua modern pattern. [my sofa is a charcoal gray] I think that I need a few more pillows, different sizes, along the same color scheme to really make the room pop. I have also been hunting for an aqua or bright green rug as well. [affordable of course]

These sofa images from the blog: Made By Girl, really inspired me for the multiple pillow look.
Here is my sad, un-styled sofa. I love the pillow in the front, I am just note sure how else to get my living room to be more stylish. The dark woodwork always holds me back from experimenting with bolder colors.I think that a light rug would do the trick as well as a new wall color and some great pillows.
