After that, we both kind of figured... WE WILL NEVER GET A SOFA.
Then, Eric suggested we should reupholster the sofa we have. You know, the plan we had one zillion months ago back when we originally bought the thing!
So I went to the two reupholstery places in town, borrowed every single sample book I could get my hands on, and now, with all the color choices and texture possibilities.... I still cannot decide on a sofa. I think the operative part being, I CANNOT DECIDE.
I'd like a sofa in this kind of fabric:
But we already have grey chairs and, even though they will need replacing soon, we are so indecisive they will probably never be changed and we would end up living with all grey furniture FOREVER. I do not want all grey furniture. I'd always imagined a nice grey sofa with leather or patterned chairs, you know?
Then I went to my Pinterest "Live Here" board and discovered I'd Pinned a lot of pictures with sofas like this....
Apparently I like blue sofas. Who knew? Eric was not on board with the blue plan. He wanted a dark grey, or, he said, he might be ok with a very dark navy blue. I tried to convince him with mood boards (basically taking photos of everything in our living room and putting it all together in one photo), but it ended up backfiring.
Because I ended up liking the navy. Quite a lot.
And it didn't help my case one bit that the navy looks pretty darn good with his Lebowski rug that he loves so much. Danggit.
All this work and back and forth and, let's be honest, we will still probably NEVER GET A SOFA.
