June at Starfish Cottage -

I am excited to finally be sharing our new sofas in the Family Room! (For those of you who have been following me, you know how long I have waited for these to arrive!) These custom sofas were ordered during the height of the pandemic and literally took over a year for them to be delivered. Like so many of my clients, it was a true test of my patience- but so worth the wait, I LOVE them!!

After 8 years of our beloved white slipcovered IKEA Ektorp sofas (and several sets of covers), the poor seat cushions had worn out… this time around, I decided to go with the classic tight-back English arm style sofas upholstered in a creamy white Sunbrella outdoor-grade performance fabric. I absolutely love them- they are comfortable, durable, and beautiful!!

Everything about these custom sofas was a challenge- first, the fabric I wanted was on backorder, then the foam for the cushions was on backorder, then the manufacturer lost much of its staff during the pandemic, and even after they shipped, the warehouse that was scheduled to deliver them to me “lost” one of the loveseats in their warehouse! It was truly a lesson in patience, but we love them!
