Wooo hoo, we finally found a place and will be re-locating to Madison, WI in August! I am so beyond excited, and I think it’s because I get to decorate and live in space that is new and has plenty of sun light! Since we will be moving soon we are trying our best to get rid of old stuff (basically everything we own is used and hand me downs), and buy some new items like real adults. With that being said I am on the biggest sofa search ever, and in the market for finding a light grey or neutral sofa with a bit of that mid-century or modern flair. Holy difficult though! I find a lot online, but it is so hard to buy a couch sight unseen since it’s such a big purchase. Would love any input from you or recommendations! We were eyeing up the Pottery Barn slipcovered sofas..but they take like 3 months to get, not really what I’m wanting to do. So anyways, this is a little living room styling that I’m kind of leaning towards, not overly feminine and a bit mod. Let me know what you think! (oh and the curtains will be a diy with the border).
I like what you have put together. It’s nice. Also, when it comes to buying a sofa, you’re completely right in saying you want to test it out. But if you find one online you really like, I suggest taking down the measurements, hit a local store with a sofa of the same measurements and similar style, and if it works, then the one online should work too. Congrats + Good luck!
Thank you for the tips, we might just have to do something like that!
I am in the same situation! Sooo exciting! I love the EQ3 sofa! Check it out. http://www.eq3.com/ca/en/c60/living/seating/sofas/fabric I love your inspiration board! :)
Never been to that site, I love them all! Too bad they only ship to Canada!
Oh! didn’t realized they only ship to Canada. It’s a great shop :(
I know, bummed!
Looks fantastic, Angela! Chic, but comfortable for a guy to live in too. :)
Thanks, I’m trying to tone down the feminine design and make it still neutral!
I like this because it is very simple, clean and chic.
Thank you Noor!
We just got a sofa and loveseat that looks pretty similar from Hom furniture in Eau Claire. http://www.homfurniture.com/Online/Home/Store/Product_708245_Beatty-Sofa
That hilarious because I was eyeing that one up too, and I actually went to HOM in Onalaska, but didn’t see this one (or notice it). Do you like the quality?
We LOVE it! I have a one year old daughter and she has spilled on it and it wipes right off. It’s really nice that the back cushions aren’t attached so you can wash those covers too. The couch is amazing!
That is great, thank you so much!!
Welcome to Madison! I love how clean your style is. Sofa shopping can be so hard. We ended up getting our grey sofa at Lazy Boy on the east side of Madison. Good luck in your move!
Thank you so much Kristen! And yes, quickly realizing how picky I am when it comes to sofas. I think we’ll be heading around checking out sofas in Madison so I’ll definitely have to drop by Lazy Boy!
Thank you very much was useful :-)

Hey Angela,
Congrats on the new place! I’m a bit late to the party…Not sure if anyone mentioned it or if you’re close to an Ikea but I love the Karlstad sofa. It retails for $499 and it’s a pretty gray and white woven fabric. There are various versions available too.
Here’s a link and a pic.

Good Luck with everything and keep us posted!
Ohh I love that, and will be heading to an ikea soon so I’ll definitely check it out!
I didn’t mention it in my previous reply but if you search etsy or google you can find replacement legs for the sofa since the legs that come with it don’t look so mid-century. Once you change the legs that sofa takes on a completely new look! This couple tufted the cushions and changed the legs now it really looks mid-century. :-) http://www.pinterest.com/pin/373165519097372957/
[…] for my inspiration, since my last living room design was a bit more modern and very crisp (see here) I wanted to get a bit warmer and welcoming. With that I want to use my already pink eames chair as […]
