New Sofa

July 7th, 2010

Iggy doesn’t take shit from no one and he loves this new sofa.

For real. Dogs totally care about this shit.

We got that gray sofa. Obviously.

The Florence Knoll Lounge Collection Sofa has long been one of my dream pieces and it’s got a price to match. The knockoff version is about as close as we will ever get. We picked this knockoff up from here.

The den still needs new lighting and a new rug and some new futzing around. In time homies…in time.

      Well I’ve been waiting to see what your solution would be!

      That is one gorgeous sofa. It looks incredibly comfortable (well, the dog seems to like it!), and the fabric is divine…

      looks great! i thought the grey would be too dull, but it’s the perfect shade.

      Love the way the chrome picks up the shine of the glass.

    12. Kati on 07/07/2010:

      Lovely!

    13. Dan on 07/07/2010:

      It’s beautiful! Good buy!

      Hmm, Iggy looks adorable, but that link says the sofa is covered in grey “woll” fabric. Careless typos on a retail site make me think poor quality all around. Are you happy with its quality?

    15. THE BRICK HOUSE on 07/07/2010:

      Yeah, that little place is run by like two guys. They actually really only do rental and this sofa was bought and then never used, so they decided to sell it.

      I like it, it seems to be good so far and will wear in nicely. The quality seems to be the same as every new sofa I see at this price point.

      My work schedule is nuts, and we kind of needed an adhoc sofa solution pretty quickly since i don’t have weekends to thrift or spend a lot of time looking. I actually love the color and fabric and the height is much more comfortable.

      It’s GORGEOUS.

    17. my favorite and my best on 07/07/2010:

      Yay for happy chihuahuas! Good job on the hot sofa.

      that is a compliment…hope ya know!

      You like it, Iggy likes it- done deal. I like it, too, for what it’s worth. Rather elevates the burlwood table to a more chic look, I think.

      You like it, Iggy likes it- done deal. I like it, too, for what it’s worth. Rather elevates the burlwood table’s status.

      Because of your closeness to the beach, ever thought of adding window coverings, subtle or dramatic, to save your furniture from weathering? I came across your post this afternoon while browsing interior design blogs and the topic of window treatment selection was very interesting to me. It is true that you must dress your windows appropriately to bring out their true beauty. Thank you for writing and as a special thanks to you and your readers, I would like to offer a 20% off coupon using this code upon checkout: BLG20.
