I'm still going to do this...

For those of you who thought I had forgotten about this post , I REALLY didn't. I've just been so busy to even think about choosing a FABRIC for my new sofa. BUT, I've been thinking that I may just go with a 'solid color' and place several cushions with different patterns on it. (Similar to the picture below). I have yet to decide on a color though, and as much as I like white, I think it will get dirty after a few months. Soooooo, a darker color fabric is what I may go with. What do you think? Any thoughts? ALSO: I am still going to to do the GIVEAWAY, I have to look through the comments to see who was the most accurate on the fabric selection.

    Oh wow! Love it! I'm picking out a neutral couch for my lilac living room and I'm going with bright jewel tone pillows as well. That kinda describes your blog, its a jewel-tone box full of candy!

    Love the idea of a solid couch with bold pillows in different patterns and fabrics. Can't wait to see what you decide on.

    Can you tell us what is written on the red painting near the kitchen entryway? Seems very unique!

    Fabulous photo.. I don't think you can go wrong with going neutral and then dressing it up.. although I'm always a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to bold fabric on big pieces. But with fun pillows you get the same effect!

    Wow, I love the neutral fabric (hemp would be cool) in this image, you can always drape a suzani or the like over the seat and dress it up with pillows...keep us posted!

    i think a solid neutral color is the way to go- reupholstering will be pricey and you don't wanna get sick of it and have to recover it again right away!

    are you thinking more gray or more on the beige/brown side?

    i think i pretty charcoal gray- but not too dark would look great.
