Fantasy sofa

If a totally spare $5000 wandered into my life (and it won't, quite the opposite) this is the sofa I would buy -


It's called "Ondo", made by Artifort, designed by Rene Holten.

I love how it floats - how it looks so comfortable for stretching out and reading - and how it's so ethereally blue.

Oh well. Other things are blue. The sky is blue, when it's not snowing or about to snow.

This sofa, at Macy's for a smidgen of the price, comes in a lovely blue and other colors too, in velvet or leather.


("Chloe" in velvet; "Claudia" in leather.)

I'm thinking (escapism really since I'm nowhere near furnishing) that the living room should have two sofas, or two loveseats, or a sofa and a loveseat. I need a comfy guest bed of some sort, but I'm thinking of a convertible ottoman (maybe from Castro Convertibles, which is back from the dead) rather than a big kludgy sleeper couch.

My Turkish rug has blue and orange and tan in it.

About Me

I just bought my first home - an estate-sale 1BR prewar co-op on the UWS in Manhattan. It needs a new kitchen, a new bathroom, new windows, and the parquet floors restored. (Other than that, it's perfect!) This blog is for sharing my renovation ideas and adventures with friends, family, and fellow renovators.
