I did it! Last weekend I bought a sofa! Actually...Brit and I bought two!
I finally decided that Ikea's Karlstad in Sivik Dark Gray was the one. After sitting on countless other sofas (including the long time front runner Room and Board Jasper) I decided that this one feels just as comfortable and looks almost as good as much more expensive sofas, at such a reasonable price. They were delivered yesterday (although I haven't actually gotten to see them in our new apartment yet)...but I'm very excited!

ReplyDeleteI love mine - just be careful if you have cats, the fabric is easily damaged by a stray claw
ReplyDeleteWe are *this* close to coming to the same decision, but I haven't quite made up my mind…still contemplating a 3+2 Karlstad for better lounging…and am really tempted by the tufted Ullevi gray version. Did you look at that one at all? Am I crazy for even considering it since I've got two little kids and all those tufts will immediately be filled with crumbs and who knows what? probably ;)
ReplyDeleteHave been reading and lurking for ages. Can't wait to see what you do with the new place!
Congratulations darling! This decision was a long time coming and it looks like all your hard work and research was worth it! A beautiful choice!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fantastic sofa, modern and bold colour. Like the modern and contemporary feel of it too!
