most Sofas- don't move me...his do.
most of Sofas seem to be "on the couch"- suffering from all the disorders one is treated for there.
His have all the qualities I want-in a Sofa.

ReplyDeleteBtrilliant! Love this post!
ReplyDeleteMakes me get in my "uniform" and just stay there!
Four times (in four years) a wonderful magazine.....(Trad Home twice; and Santa Barbara Magazine; and House Beautiful)
I thought (and I think they thought) it was photographing the house! (not me!!)
Well; in fact, I think all three times.....they did photograph me......and I had on the exact same white t-shirt, white long skirt, brown wide belt....even the same sandals.....
My cousin said........"What the hell? don't you have any other clothes???" (she is a "fashionista! chicest in the land!!)
Kinda like "the reader" in your post!
I think it comes from the nuns. They were always so fashionable to my eye! (I am not Catholic; but the Catholic school saved me)!
The sofas were fascinating.......and so was everything in this post!!

Speaking of SOFAS...I saw one over the weekend to swoon over. Cedric Gibbons designed - for the apartment of John Gilbert in A WOMAN OF AFFAIRS - a Greta Garbo silent film from 1928. If you ever wished for one that is meant for a Visionaire's Repose, this was it!
ReplyDeleteYes it is. And a sofa is a sofa--I have no idea what "couch" means. Thanks for stating the truth of sofas.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
