We are about thisclose to finally owning our condo and while I ponder what I want to do to the space I’ve been living in for a year (without decorating) my biggest decision are sofas. While I want my space to be super clean and serene (I am assaulted by so much color and pattern and styles every day at work I kind of want my own home to be simple) I struggle with sofa color. As I’ve said a zillion times before, making decisions for other people’s homes is easy for me, for my own home it’s IMPOSSIBLE.
I’ve always wanted white sofas. I am obsessed with them. But I have two dogs. With eight dirty paws. And I myself cannot eat a single meal without some kind of sauce or wine staining my clothes, so this is not an option (sadly). I also am super lazy and won’t actually wash a slipcover so I will shoot down that suggestion immediately. So I had settled on grey. Grey Chesterfields, to be exact.
And then I went and sat in the Chesterfields I wanted and guess what? So not comfy. And we all know a sofa in front of the TV HAS to be comfy.GAH!
So, as I rethink the style (probably the Liam by MGBW or the Park ave by Duralee) I also became obsessed with a new idea. NAVY VELVET SOFAS!!!! So rich, so British library-esque. So chic! Paired with a great vintage Heriz Persian rug and a simple sleek lucite table and brass accents it would be so lovely, no?
And guess who rocked a navy sofa in her new apartment?
YUP. That makes it legit.
Yet, I cannot decide. I also am pretty sold on the place being white, grey and black. Hmmm, your thoughts?
