I posted a few weeks ago about my friend J who was on a sofa search for her new apartment. She looked and looked, and looked some more, and ended up buying my suggestion – the Crate & Barrel’s Petrie Apartment Sofa! The Petrie was her dark horse; she originally had her heart set on a beautiful grey, velvety number. But when she went to the store for a test-sit, it wasn’t comfortable. She says she loves the depth of the Petrie, which makes it super comfy. She’s planning on using grey as an accent color – she’s thinking pillows and maybe a rug. Doesn’t it look cute in her apartment?
The chair below was a major score from our recent trip to New Orleans. J found it, and two other just like it, and fell in love with them. They were a super good deal, and she had them shipped to her new place in NYC. I think they’ll look cool with the Petrie – I love the look of mixed and matched eras. It makes a home feel like yours, rather than it feeling like you ordered your whole place off the Ikea showroom floor.
