I've been mulling over a change for some time now -- probably in the neighborhood of two years. Bruce and I finally made some decisions and things are starting to come together.
Overall, I was tired of the palette. I wanted something fresher and lighter but I had to do something that could evolve since I couldn't afford to do everything at once.
The first order of business was a new sofa. There was a lot of strum und drang about it. In the end, we had the heirloom sofa that matches the loveseat shipped from Louisville and reupholstered. Agreeing on the fabric became another 6 month odyssey. We finally chose a silk and linen weave from Kravet. Since we spent a fortune on the sofa, we got super cost conscious and added some pillows from Crate and Barrel and Bed, Bath and Beyond and some lamps from Z Gallerie to pull it together.
Next up: new window treatments (I want to go with solar shades) and re-upholstering the loveseat in a French Blue velvet. I also have more pillows being made by Calico Corners.
