I had my sofa delivered this weekend...
and I love it and hate it!
I love the style of the couch! I hate that it needs to be broken in! For the last 2 sofas we have had they have been cushy and/or deep so it was very easy to sit improperly and be loungy on them. But this one is our first "proper" adult sofa. It is not very deep, or very cushy, but we are hoping over time it will get broken in and loosen up a little bit.
And since we have always had a deep sofa, I have been able to pile the pillows on and still be comfortable sitting on the sofa. But I will be rethinking the amount of pillows on this sofa because you have to take them off to sit down. Which brings me to narrowing down my fabric selection.
I have always planned on changing out the beige lattice pattern pillow with new covers in the blue and grey buffalo check; one on each side.
Then I planned on keep the Betwixt orange in the center with one dragon on one side and the grey velvet burn out on the other side.
But now I am thinking the sofa can really only handle one pillow on each side, maybe two on one side? I was going to back the velvet burnout with the solid navy, but now thinking it should be its own pillow?
And I planned on using the chevron on my two leather chairs...
Covering the brown pillows and adding the other dragon on one chair.
So what fabric would you use where? Need another peek at the rest of the space?
I finally was able to clean off the butcher block countertop of all the constant parade of tools! I used 3 over the door mirrors {of 2 I already had} to create a large focal point and mimic the stripes in the rest of the room.
I painted out a lamp that was blue a bright poppy orange... and I love it!
I also finished spraying the ikea shelves this weekend... but I have yet to fully style them.
I also threw some things up on the floating shelves, but this is not even close to done. I am headed to the goodwill today to hunt down some fun colored hardback books. I would like to find some vintage Readers Digest books... fingers crossed. And I have a few DIY's planned for display items.
Alrighty... now that you had a quick tour, what fabric would you pick and what arrangement would you do?

i like the buffalo check for sure, and then whatever other one you use i would use one that has some of the warm reds in it- it needs some color!
hmm.. I love that chevron ikat. Great choices. Your orange lamp is the perfect pop of color! I have those ikea shelves as well and decided to leave them as is with the black but I'm loving yours:)
I love it! And I'm so jealous of how pretty your place is.
I love the buffalo check with the velvet and the dragon and betwixt you already have. That betwixt is one of my all time favorite fabrics!! And the chevron on your chairs will look great as well! How I wish we lived closer so you could teach me to sew!
I will always love your dragon. I also love the velvet burn out. Would love to see you add some Orangy red maybe also in velvet? to the chairs with another dragon.
You always nail it with the pillows so whatever you do will look awesome!
Everything looks great! Love the sofa and the bookshelves! WOW,
I love the buffalo check- it's classic!
I love your dragon! And I know you'll make a great decision no matter which way you go... Can't wait to see what you decide to do!
Wow you have been busy! Your house looks fabulous Tiffany! I can't believe all you have done in such a short time. Hope you are getting some time to break in your couch!
I love the dragon pillow…you have such a great eye - I"m sure whatever combination you choose will look beautiful together!
I love the chevron Ikat and buffalo check.. do you know the names of these fabrics? I have been looking for similar pillow for my sofas. :D
