room by room - sitting in the sitting room

okay so remember how i said for christimas all i wanted was a couch? well if not, you can read about it here.

anyways. my family was super lovely and donated to the "i'd like to buy a couch" fund. everything should have come up roses, except when i went to order my couch, this one at IKEA except with the silver base, they notified me that it had been discontinued! what?!?! all that research and effort by my family and nothing...

well, i had to start at square one, again. after much searching and changing of the budget, i came up with a couple of finalists.

1)  West Elm - Blake Sofa in Gravel (Special Order Fabric, Linen Blend, Gravel) (Not color shown)


2)  Crate & Barrel - Klyne Sofa in Delight Dolphin (Stock color)


3)  Room&Board - Murray Sofa in Salt (Additional color)



after checking out cb2 (the furniture is cheaply made, the designs are awful, and it isn't that much cheaper than crate & barrel) and a few other stores, i picked one. a week later i headed back to the store to order it. guess which one i went for?
