PSA: Do yourself a favor and get a flu shot. DO IT. And then quarantine yourself until spring.
Hello, lovelies! I apologize for the tardiness of this post. It’s all I can do to get through the day – it’s so bad, I’ve been sleeping in my car at lunch. Yes, I’m that girl. Feel free to point and laugh, I’m too exhausted to do anything about it.
Anyway. G and I desperately need a sofa update. If I wasn’t sure before, spending three days on it this week has erased all doubt. Behold my sad, slipcovered mess:
We have been the proud owners of this piece for over four years; G’s parent’s generously donated it to us after our wedding so that our apartment wouldn’t be completely empty. It has served us well, but has obviously seen better days. So what’s the hold-up? Well. We are stuck in a battle of form (K) vs. function (G) vs. cost (Both. We are cheap, I admit it. Plus, our hopefully soon-not-to-be-hypothetical children will likely dump juice all over it. Or worse). I won’t even tell you how long it took us to find the man-chair. The perfect sofa is proving to be my decor holy-grail.
Here is my dream piece – the Milo Sofa from Anthro.
Everything about it is perfect…..except the price. That, and G doesn’t think it looks comfortable AT. ALL. (Though I don’t know why he cares – he resides full-time in the aforementioned man-chair). I was going to put together a selection of knock-offs, but I can’t find them. Help! Find me a sofa, I beg of you. This one needs to be put out of its misery. (And, let’s face it, so do I).
Hope your lounging spot is plush,
Sofas are no joke! I probably spent more time shopping for the perfect sofa than any of the other things I bought when I moved… including my condo. It had to be comfortable, long enough to sleep on, preferably leather (but that wasn’t going to be a deal breaker) and have short arm rests. And I’ve loved it for two years now.
when you get that sofa, cover it is vinyl! seriously!!! it will be worse than juice my friend…
i second shadley–better than spit up! but actually–i’d highly suggest microfiber. the stuff is miraculous!
go to CR and check out Bills Bros and Jeff Jones if you’re wanting a good deal.
