She needed accessories.įirst up: a cozy blanket to keep me warm on dreary Seattle days. But as much as I love my new couch, I knew she couldn’t sit unadorned in my living room.
After a few months of intense online perusal, I finally picked out the couch of my dreams: an oatmeal-hued chesterfield with subtle texture and dramatic tufting.

It has hardwood floors, black-and-white checkerboard tiles in the kitchen and nice, high ceilings.
