As my friends and family know, I have been deliberating about a sofa. I even ordered one and canceled it the next day, because it didn’t feel right. Well, I finally committed and I’m ecstatic!
Here were my rules:

1. I could buy a cheaper one now, but will inevitably have to replace it in the near future.

2. Since I’m going to have it for a while – it can’t be a trendy style that will become dated quickly.

3. It must be comfortable and a fabric that is easy to maintain.

4. No pillowbacks. (nothing wrong with them, I just wanted something more streamlined this time around.)

5. Neutral color for all color schemes.

For only 5 rules, it took me a long time to settle on the right sofa, but I DID IT!

I chose the “Tate” Sofa by Bassett Furniture. It’s elegant, timeless and neutral. I can’t wait for it to come! (And I only had to sell 4 things on craigslist to afford it! <<wink>>)
