Over a month ago I decided to finally choose and order a new sofa. When we did some remodeling a couple of years ago, I didn't find anything at first glance and was too burned out to continue looking. We just dealt with the old leather one that we picked up on the spur of the moment several years ago at Costo when we needed to replace one. I always tend toward monochromatic color schemes and thought this would be kind of a sand color, almost rethinking it after it was already ordered as so predictable, until it arrived! I was having doubts that sand was going to conflict with the existing chair that I did get a couple of years ago and was even wondering what room I could relocate it to and what I would replace it with. When first unpacked by the delivery guys I was suprised at the warmth of the color and that it even had color, since the name of the shade in the sample book was some sort of ivory! I decided to think it through and came to the conclusion that I needed a tiny push out of my comfort zone and now I really like it. It adds so much warmth to the cool colors I have used in the family room. It is super comfy and I am rolling with it!
The old one:
And the new............
There is an optical illusion because both sofas were within an inch on the outside measurement but the curved arms both inside and outside on the old one took up space and we actually have more seating capacity! I love the more modern shape on the new one. It's nice when life holds a pleasant surprise!
