So I didn't' learn my lesson and bought two love seats in a flowered pattern? Then they fell apart and I finally realize to stick with a neutral love seats. I bought beige love seats and so wish I had bought white ones. But at least it's neutral.

I call it pale grey hubby said it is beige! Like you we wondered about the pale colour, but we needed to lighten our north facing lounge. And it has done just that, we added a white swivel chair and redecorated the wall behind one of the sofas and what a difference, I have added pops of dark red here and there, with a dark red rug on one area over the grey plain carpet. At the beginning we sat on throws in case the colour came out of jeans, but I have stopped that now.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947955616143499526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-43840346449586208832015-04-17T23:17:34.776-05:002015-04-17T23:17:34.776-05:00Still laughing about your comment that your husban...Still laughing about your comment that your husband took a shower before sitting on the couch! I love the new look, especially with the toile fabric - always a favorite of mine. I have both slipcovered white couches and chairs, as well as a large sofa (not slip covered) in a light buttercream color. I have removed all of the covers from the couch before and dry cleaned them and was pleasantly surprised it did not cost that much. A good thing since we have dropped chocolate and raspberry sauce on them. julie - eab designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009555833965022815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-26056862679906228742015-04-17T11:14:14.193-05:002015-04-17T11:14:14.193-05:00What the heck---my comment disappeared.

I, too, love red...and used it in my winter bedroom but could hardly wait for spring to get my turquoise back out...didn't want to use it year 'round as I don't want to burn myself out with it. I THINK I am getting burned out on red...at least for awhile.<br />We are about to buy a sleeper love seat and I've been thinking of an off white (snow white is not for me) or a really light khaki...which is what I'd really like. We don't have a guest room in the Summer house and not much overnight guests but sometimes, one of my friends likes to come spend several days with us...and cousins and nephew so we need another bed. Haven't looked yet but I did peek at a few online..getting an idea of what I want.<br />Your new sofa is awesome....and I really giggled when "Earl took a shower before sitting on it....."bj https://www.blogger.com/profile/09327534885194207074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-65777590857745886112015-04-17T10:11:05.967-05:002015-04-17T10:11:05.967-05:00You are SO brave - and it's SO wonderful!

We need to replace living room furniture but can't do it right now. I have a blue and off-white plaid sofa and I'd like to change it to something neutral. We aren't people who handle white furniture well so ours will need to have some color. I can't wait to see what else you do.<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-44244002855503558172015-04-16T21:12:43.777-05:002015-04-16T21:12:43.777-05:00I agree the white is a good idea.

I still have a red couch and a big floral couch hidden upstairs. I thought they were the prettiest things ever in their time and then one day my mind changed in a snap! I think you made the right move. Throw a quilt on there if you need to when you've been working in the flower bed. :)Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-9361869510356953432015-04-16T14:08:32.373-05:002015-04-16T14:08:32.373-05:00Love the lighter look!

Hopefully, I am also going from uncomfortable to comfortable. Is your new sofa comfortable? That's the most important thing. It sure is pretty and I know that you'll be able to do more with the neutral. I think you do a wonderful job with decorating. I was really quite surprised to learn that this is not a decorating blog. =DVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
