I have a new sofa. It's pretty awesome. Normally this would be the kind of purchase that I would belabor for months, but an unexpected opportunity arose to buy this sofa for a very, very good price (working for Urban Outfitters does offer a few perks) so I kind of jumped on it. It's Anthropologie's Milo sofa in Marimekko's Bottna upholstery. I love the rolled arms and tufting - very classic Chesterfield, but the print makes it totally fun and fresh. I realize there's a lot going on now in my living room - perhaps too much? - but for now I'm feeling things out. I may do some redecorating later this summer - new paint, curtains, etc - if necessary. Anyway, here are a few more views, plus some random shots from around the room...
My little Maude likes it very much...
New vase on the coffee table - one of the items I collected for my wedding centerpieces. I like his hat of flowers.
Also leftover from the wedding
A "new" old vase from a recent flea market adventure
One last kitten shot, because I can't help myself..

How about some black and white zig zag curtains?
I guess I never realized you worked for Urban Outfitters. Wow, how awesome! What do you do for them?
Love the bold graphic print of the new sofa too.
I work for Terrain, Urban's newest brand, which is a nursery, home store and restaurant. I'm their event planner. And I got married here too.
Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Would love some more suggestions for window treatments espcially!
I would never have chosen something like this, but I LOVE IT. Totally works.

Such a delicious sofa! Wow...also lovin' the whole space. Baout the window treatments...I would keep them clean, no pattern there-- (stylish linen drapes maybe?) Since you already have so much action going on elsewhere....Love the pops of yellow!
So fun!! Just a tad jealous . . . :)
wow it's fantastic!
Love it! It's a gorgeous, classic shape and a wonderfully fun print. And I love how you paired it with the DwellStudio for Target mustard rose pillow.
I can't wait to see what you do with this space!
The sofa looks like it was meant to be in your space - it fits perfecty!!!

Yep, I actually work for Terrain, and yes, it's a lucky score from the silent auction!

I have a cat and he ruins all my sofas, even though I have soft paws on him. Do you cats like scratching the sofa?
