So I have tried to fight it, but I cannot help my LOVE for a crisp, white sofa.
I do not know why people are so scared of white furniture. Bleach solves everything!
I had fought getting a white sofa when my husband and I bought our new home and he said he did not want one at all. So I went with a color called 'dove.' It never looked right to me. I forged ahead and kept plugging along, but I never liked any of the fabric swatches for pillows I brought home. Then I realized why...I needed my white sofa!
Finally, I was lucky enough to help a wonderful friend and in exchange she made me a tight, white slipcover with baseball stitching. UH-mazing. All is right with my little world now.

I love a white slipcovered sofa... I too was so so so scared of getting one for my apt because I have a baby. So I went with a charcoal velvet. Let me tell you one thing: LINT!! You can see every single spec of lint! It needs to be vacuumed twice a day.
ReplyDeleteIm thinking about getting a white slipcover made for the spring/summer season. Is that crazy?
Get one!
ReplyDeleteI love mine. Our puppy lays on the sofa everyday but one quick wash with some bleach and it is crisp and brand new again!

White adds such a crisp element to any room. We love it.
ReplyDeleteOh I have a white sofa and white chair and a half...love them. So easy to clean!
ReplyDeleteso far i've read 2 posts & i already know i'm meant to read your blog. shoe obsession - heck yes. i like pictures of shoes just about as much as shoes themselves.
ReplyDeletewhite sofas - GORGEOUS! but like the rest of the world i could never talk myself into getting one. i would live in anxious fear that i was going to ruin it up & i can just see myself telling all my guests: "would you mind eating in that in the kitchen instead?" "would you mind to sit on this other {far less white} couch?" "you're pants look a little dingy, maybe you should change into these and then sit on the sofa?"
have a great day-

omg how I would LOVE a white sofa! but really, my dogs are too big and messy. i would literally have to wash it everyday.. the dogs like to sneak onto the sofa and sleep there at night after they have played in the dirt all day :0/ .. so unfortunately tan microsuede it is lol. Maybe I could go gray one day--mix it up a bit ;)
ReplyDeleteI love white! I just keep a white blanket loosely over my white couch... solves it from getting too dirty and I can wash the blanket in no time!
