Decorating Around A Brown Sofa

Finding The Perfect Leather Sofa

The perfect leather sofa can be wonderfully masculine and sophisticated.And because finding the one can feel like a huge investment, it’s important to choose wisely.I personally love a rich, camel leather but there are so many gorgeous choices out there, it’s hard to go wrong.Just remember to stay away from sheen or shine as it can take it from classy to cheesy real quick.

It's Here, The Leather Sofa

My leather sofa has been here for two weeks and I haven’t even had time to think about it, much less write about it.We moved the white sofa into the front room “just to see” and then lived with this goldish sofa in our foyer for a week.

Leather looks better and more wonderful with age, cloth looks, well, older with age.Imperfect, lived-in leather is actually even better than brand new leather.Right now my downstairs looks like a sofa store, but it’s SO inviting!

Distressed Coffee Table (a revisit & rework)

Anyhoo, one of the most asked about projects from the past is my distressed coffee table makeover (from way back in 2011).Just in case you’re new here and are wondering, I originally picked this table up from eBay for around $25.

After cleaning away any sanding residue, I applied two coats (with drying time between, of course) of standard acrylic wall paint using a brush.Play with sanding directions and depths, inspecting your progress from time to time, until you have achieved the look you’re after.

What was originally a rather plain table is now perfectly at home in my cottagey style living room.

Working With: Leather Furniture

I’ve had a few requests to do a “working with what you have” post about leather furniture.It’s a good topic because I’ve noticed that those that have leather living room furniture usually have more than one piece (i.e., the full matching set) and often feel like they’re drowning in a sea of brown.
