Leather set in the living room

[luluinnc]

I have added the other 2 wall pictures from the living room. The wall with the current sofa has a large painting that will stay. The small sconces will either go altogether or be replaced with larger ones. The room is also getting can lights in the ceiling with incandescent and halogen bulbs to adequately cast light on the paintings - so that will also help improve the lighting in the room. We also have 2 yorkshire terriers who are indoor dogs. I am reluctant to go with the most subtle unprotected leather due to toe nails marks, etc. I felt the Burnished leathers being somewhat mottled and not as solid would be more forgiving in terms of scratches or normal patina over time. Is that correct?
