I have some news.
We bought a new sofa.
And it’s not white.
You remember the leather sofa roundup I did a couple weeks ago?
Well I pulled the trigger, and by trigger I mean clicked a button, and bought one of them…any guesses which? It will be here next week.
I’m sort of shocked at myself that I bought a sofa online. That’s like picking out a mattress without laying on it first. What if it’s totally uncomfortable and not like the pictures at all? Good thing there’s a return policy.
In the meantime, I had to take one more pretty picture of the living room sofa that we’ve had now for about 10 years.
My sweet mom / seamstress extraordinaire made these beautiful new pillows for our new bed. One side is some green velvet I found in Tucson over 4 years ago. The blue and white fabric I found here. All the pillows in our home usually get collected and end up in one big pile on the floor to cushion the fall when playing Power Rangers. So for a brief second they’re living on the sofa.
My boys have been well instructed on how to correctly re-plump then karate chop a pillow after playtime.
New sofa and bedroom reveal coming soon!
Hey there! I’m Michelle; I’m an Passionate DIY’er and in constant pursuit of how to bring beauty to my house full of men (3 boys + 1 hubby). Stick around and see what I’ve got up my hard-working sleaves!
I’ve been eyeing that blue and white fabric for awhile now for a project at my own house…these photos are very convincing…can’t wait to see your new sofa!
Pillows have the same date in our house, so I have also given karate chopping lessons to my two and four year old. Now, if my husband would just comply!!
Love it! Yes, husbands are sometimes the most difficult to train. 🙁
Same *fate*
I love them. Your mom is a seriously talented lady. I used to have a workroom, but I find it so much easier to sew for myself now. I guess you could say I’m “retired,” but really I just got tired. Ha! I can’t wait to see which sofa you picked, and since I’m terrible at guessing games I will just wait and see.
I’m calling the West Elm sofa – I love that one! 🙂
I hope you got the West Elm Hamilton! I just love, love, love that sofa, so I’m biased. 🙂
