We’re Down to Two!

Miscellaneous

Happy Friday loves!

It feels wonderful to be back home, but we had an overall fabulous time in Mexico. It was just what we needed: lots of sleep, good food and turquoise waters with a taste of culture! Now it’s back to work, back to reality and back to my ongoing to-do list (that appears to be getting longer and longer…)

We are on the hunt for the perfect couch. Remember this beauty? Well, it was short lived but she found a new home. It’s a great piece but we really needed something longer for our living room. So we have (finally) narrowed it down to two.

There’s the Harrison sofa from Z Gallerie that can be custom made in a variety of fabrics. This is the one I’m leaning towards with the only down side that it will take 6-10 weeks to be delivered. In other words, we won’t have a sofa for the next 6-10 weeks…

I’d like to get it custom in this white-ish chenille fabric they carry. It almost looks like a tweed and I live the lines. I really love the brightness of it and how I can easily swap out pillows to add pops of color. Here’s a shot of the fabric and how it looks on a different style sofa.

And then there’s this one from Interior Express Outlet. Has anyone been here before? The price is almost too good to be true and I’m a bit hesitant. We are heading out there this weekend to see the quality and comfort of the sofa.

House Beautiful conveniently has 50 designer tips for purchasing a sofa in their newest issue and while they can’t all be followed, it’s still a good rule of thumb!

If I follow one rule, this will be it-

What do you all think? Are you loving the linen trim sofa or the sleek and bright sofa? I’ve given myself a deadline to make a decision by Monday morning!

    Hey Yana, number one has my vote in terms of look and feel!
    Number two might be slightly more on the comfortable side so you will have to report to us to your visit to the shop that sells them.
    Good luck choosing 🙂

      I’m leaning towards one as well but I figured I should at least give two a fair chance; considering it comes in at a whopping $1000.00 less! I’ll keep you posted tomorrow! 🙂
