New Teal Velvet Sofa in the Living Room


We FINALLY got a new sofa!! 

I went on a crazy craigslist rampage and sold our leather sofa/love seat at the start of the summer. Then we purchased a sofa that ended up having to be retured due to a very strong smell of chemicals off-gassing! yuck!  (ok...fine...you can blame it ever so slightly on me being a very extra sensitive prego mama, but still....can't be good when your whole house smells like the new sofa!)

Then......along came this beauty. 

A perfect floor model (I was specifically looking for a sofa that had been sitting out so that we wouldn't have as much risk of the same smell problem happening again). 

And seriously....the comfiest couch ever made!  








We went out on a limb and decided to break away from the "safe" colours.....you know...beige, brown, etc. Why NOT have a teal velvet sofa? ;)

Did I mention we got a great deal on it too? 





It's a crazy shape, which makes it a little hard to fit into our small living room...but this is the best layout I've tried so far. 

The crazy shape is a small price to pay for what is called the "cuddle". Yes....the CUDDLE. It's the glorious little spot on the corner, where you can snuggle right into the couch and put your feet up. 

Exactly what this pregnant mama needed ;)



The pink Ikat pillows were an impromptu Home Sense purchase. I'm kind of loving them.

I still haven't sorted out a permanent piece of art, or new mirror for above the mantel....but this will do for now.



On another note...I simply cannot believe that school starts tomorrow......and that I actually have a boy that's old enough to be going!!! 

More on this later...

  6. Those furniture certainly look regal. Good choice of color for your new sofa. The teal sofa certainly takes the spotlight, amid the white sofas and white theme of your living room. By the way, did you know what white symbolizes wholeness and completion? In most cultures, it represents truth and openness. White is suitable for your living room, because it can make any space seem larger.

  12. You prefer to spend your nights in a tranquil and comfortable setting without a doubt. This may be done by picking a space's well-balanced stylistic shapes. Include a room with a comfortable bed to allow you to unwind and have a good night's sleep. Oval dining table

  13. Let me say my warm decor loving thanks to you for this great job. As a interior decoration fanatic, I enjoyed your teal velvet sofa renovation. Maybe some new home items have boring smell and we are to think of the new one. I was thrilled how you find the best match for your room. The new reveal was really attention grabbing. Also the pink ikat pillows enhanced the extra beauties on the sofa. Love it definitely. Anyway, in an age of modern sofa manufacturers on every high street, antique sofas might seem like a strange prospect to some. However, as the pendulum of design inevitably swings, antique sofa styles are asserting a new relevance in interior design. Antique sofas come in a range of iconic styles that have graced our interiors for centuries. The beauty of these classic sofa designs is that while they retain these traditional aspects, they have been given a modern, contemporary twist to ensure they fit seamlessly into a contemporary setting. Transfigure your home into elegance and beauty with a unique antique sofa. Feel interest? Well, here's the way to get more about it https://www.artsome-home.com/product/sofa.
