Sofa Safari


As with several other things, never knew how many options for creating a sofa there are in the world! We chose a style called Slider (not like White Castle) from the Sofa Company. Now it's time for fabric choices. The company lets customers take large yard-long swaths of fabric home to check out how the colors look in their home lighting.
We've decided on micro velvet fabric- it's really soft and comfortable, and doesn't have that really contrasted two-tone look like micro-suede does when you run a hand on it cross-ways. We brought home 5 color swatches, and have it narrowed down to two of those (dark gray or coral - kind of like Jacob and Emily's wedding colors!), plus Benson wants to throw cream/white into the mix again. It's what we have on our current couches and it might look nice.
In this pic, Stormy is voting for my favorite by sitting in the chair it's on, so we now have an authentic test of how his hair does/does not show on it. (Hoping does not, since it's practically the same color as he is!) We are thinking of having an ottoman made of the coral one.
