Sitting Pretty
Guess what may or may not have been purchased by me today?
I texted Jon while at the store and told him I needed it and now wanted to completely re-do the living room. His response, “Are you insane?” My response back, ” No, just a decorator.”
We are picking it up on Saturday. Smart man that husband of mine is.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
LOVE the print 🙂 Can't wait to see how the room turns out once it is added!
Oooh! I agree, such a great print, and it looks like it's a great shape too!
GORGEOUS.GORGEOUS. GORGEOUS.
Wow! So fun! Your first post this morning (about printed sofas) was quite a lead-in!! Can't wait to see the sofa in your house!
I laughed so hard when he responded with "are you insane." That's my husband's reaction to most of my messages!! They're lucky we love them 😉
Great find, it's beautiful!

Thanks ladies. It's stunning. It's in perfect condition and in framed in wood that is painted high gloss blank..heaven!
I also found two other finds that I added to be bill. I will take pictures on Saturday.
I have no idea where they are going to go. I keep pushing Jon for a store front! Ah if only that pesky thing called money didn't keep messing up my plans.
Jon literally thought I had lost my mind. I finally calmed down about repainting and leaving things as is..for now, but I needed to rescue that sofa.

No shame in re-doing a living room around one awesome purchase. I'm in the midst of doing so after purchasing the chiang mai settee (from Jenny K)
PS – and while my husband had a similar response as yours, now he's seeing it all come together (after selling everything & starting anew!)
This is one of those things that I enjoy seeing in other people's home, but are not brave enough to do in my own 🙂 Now, I would love to try it in my cottage, the one I dream about (a girl can dream, right?)
Great find. I hope you can add it to your home or a clients! A storefront would be fab… I can totally see you thriving with that but you'd have to have one online too since I am in california and don't make it to NY as much as I'd like.
You did the right thing!
Faboosh!
So awesome! I'm going to look at a sweet vintage couch I found on Craig this weekend, fingers crossed! Are you going to reupholster it?
C! That sofa is percection!!! Great find! Glad it went home with you! : )
Thanks guys! I totally want to leave the fabric as is. It's bold and beautiful and in perfect condition.
Jon on the other hand loves the lines of the piece, but wants it recovered.
We don't even have a place to use it yet in our home so we'll have to wait and see what we do.
love the sofa, cant wait to see what you do with it!
ps just found your blog and love it!!
