I've been trying to avoid even looking yet out of fear that I'd find something before I'm ready to buy. But, I couldn't resist. Let's just say I'm getting inspired. Unfortunately, for some reason I'm having a hard time deciding which direction I want to go.
Here are a few of the options I'm thinking about.
1. Tufted. I think we all know how much I love tufting. It's just classic.

This option is a great price on Craigslist, my go-to for great deals on vintage furniture. Funny that often people don't know what they have. You might find something like this listed under "button back" couch. By the way, this is a sofa not a couch. So if you search online auction sites be sure to search under layman's terms.
Anyway, I could totally see it turned into something like these....
2. French. I also love the tufting with a bit of a French flair, that would pair well with my wing chair that I blogged about HERE.

I know, it looks disgusting now, but look what it could become....
3. Vintage Iconic. I thought it was hilarious that this beauty was listed as a Duncan Fife couch. It's a Duncan Phyfe sofa. The owner can call it whatever they like because it's a total steal.
I love the idea of taking this true antique look and updating it with a fresh fabric....
Absolute perfection!
4. Timeless. Of course, I could always go with something simple and classic like this....

And then jazz it up with a rich velvet like this...
or even velvet with contrasting piping like this...
See my dilemma? I guess there is a such thing as too much inspiration. Whatever I decide, I'm taking it to my new upholstery guy of Baity's Custom Upholstery. He's fab. If you're in the NC/SC area, I'd highly recommend him. Check him out HERE.
Happy Friday!!
