I recently had my sofa set re-upholstered as they were already looking run down and all torn. After picking my first and second choice colors for the German leather that was to be used for the re-upholstered sofa set, I only had to wait around 12 days for it to be delivered back (I told them not to rush since I wanted this to be perfect and quite possibly to last another 10 years like how the original did)
The original color of the set was gray. I decided to go a different shade by choosing light tan (first choice) and medium tan (second choice). Last Saturday, the sofa set was finally delivered. Imagine my surprise when they took out the set from its plastic covering. It was in white, or off-white, or ivory, or whatever name it is called! I have to admit that, unconsciously, I've always wanted to have a white sofa set as it looks all clean and elegant. But, I'm also a realist. We have kids at home plus I have five dogs so its not ideal to have anything in white, much less a leather sofa set.
After the initial shock, I carefully inspected the workmanship and I have to say that it is just perfect. The leather is soft to the touch yet it is firmly packed with the foam used inside.
I was also worried that my newly bought throw pillow would not match the set as I had a mocha or tan set in mind. Luckily, white is quite flexible so the throw pillows fit in without any color clash or anything.
Like anything in life, what is one to do when thrown something that one did not expect...one has no choice but to accept it....with some rules added in:
1. no dogs allowed on the couch (except if the nanny remembers to keep their paws clean)
2. no eating or drinking allowed on the couch
3. kids are supposed to sit like they have a stiff back and no unnecessary movements allowed
Enjoy the pictures!

I love the white BUT I am also a realist. Didn't you return it? or have plans of returning it?
ReplyDeleteThey offered to reupholster it again but I decided that it was just too much hassle so I'm sticking with it through dirt and stains :)
