Crazy About Our Couches

This weekend we received a very special delivery. Our white linen, slip-covered couches arrived! Honestly, I've been dreaming of new living room furniture since the day we started looking at houses. Despite being more than ready to purchase new pieces, I'm so glad we waited until we moved in, figured out the functionality of our space, and researched all the potential items to place in our room.

Overall, we decided to invest the bulk of our budget on the couches. Here's why: we use them everyday, we want them to last for at least ten years, we want them to be comfortable (down-feather fill), durable (indoor/outdoor washable fabric), and versatile (white goes with anything). Also, we wanted to customize the length, depth, and height to fit our space; the main sofa is 8ft long and the smaller one is 5ft. Here's the link to the sofas we finally selected: Belgian Track Arm Sofa. We really do love their sleek lines, crisp color, and timeless appeal. I think they brighten up our space beautifully.

Before I show you our empty living room, let me remind you of the progress going on with our most recent remodel.... Here is the BEFORE of the 1980s wet bar....

You can see that we've demo'd the bar and have started to install a coat closet in its place. We are just waiting on the customized doors to arrive! So here's the empty living room...

These sofas came in through the front foyer... barely. The movers said our tall ceilings saved us. Check out just how tall the 8ft. sofa looks next to the 6ft. man!

It's hard to see in the picture above, but we did purchase new side tables. They are just lovely! Here's the link to these stone topped gems: Marbled End Table.  I've been super impressed with two specific collections at JCPenny's: Design by Conran and Jonathan Adler. Both designers offer affordable home decor pieces, and JCP always has coupons available for extra savings! 

I still have more throw pillows to add, but I started with two handmade pillow covers in this pattern first...

I absolutely love the navy blue boho-ikat design. I highly recommended this Etsy shop: driftwoodandfossil 

We still have to oder this coffee table: Braxton Gray Ottoman .....

And find a large rug. But for now, you'll probably find us snoozing on the new couches :)
