One of my Failures

One of my first purchases was a hip blue suede 50's sofa. Here it is covered in sheets to protect it from Harley. After a month of trying to fall in love with it, Donna confessed it wasn't comfortable. It was like a pair of stilettos...looks sexy but unwearable.
We spent 8 hours together "trying on" sofas. She had said from the beginning she wanted a comfy sectional. I didn't listen, hence this rather large mistake. We moved it back down the tiny staircase and into a resale shop.

Donna's Living Room "AFTER"

Here is the finished living room. The sofa is a sage green velvet sectional that took 3 months to come in from Pottery Barn. It is VERY COMFY and BIG.
I chose a palette of blues, greens, and purples. The purple bergere chairs and the drapes are different hues.

Rosy at Best for Less made the luscious drapes and throw pillows.
