I Love Tight Back Sofas

Elegant

Versatile 

Tailored & Sophisticated

I hate multi-cushion sofas.

My preference ALWAYS is a BENCH SEAT { 1 cushion }

or a 2 cushion sofa if they will not make a single cushion/bench seat.

&

Do YOU KNOW WHY

 there are multi-cushion sofas in the first place??????

When sofas were first being made....

obviously they were made for the 'well to do', 

and they made only bench seats

{one single set cushion}.

The rest of us were sitting on hay bales.

I mean where do you think the pioneer woman shopped ?

Sure the saloons and whoooooore houses had them...

and in the big cities.....

the wealthy had them......

stick with me here....

I am getting to the point.

The bench seat takes more yardage than a 2 cushion 

or 3 cushion sofa....RIGHT???

When catalog shopping {Sears} 

and mass production came along they realized 

they could use the scrap fabric for multi-cushioned sofas.

So there.....!!!!!

That my story and I am sticking with it.

In Boca Raton and I am sure else where as well.....

people fight me 

and always say when I want to use a bench seat on their new sofas;

" No One wants to sit on the crack "

and I say;

" But you sit on a crack everyday, and it doesn't bother you! "

Of course they laugh...but they are still not convinced...

and when I tell them the 'scrap fabric' story',

{since here in Boca Raton they are status conscience} 

they go for the bench seat or at least the 2 cushion sofa!!!

AWWWWW....at last!

Funny story right?

Tight back sofas give you the choice of having a cleaner-sleeker look

or you can have a very inviting look with custom pillows.

That's what I like.

I love this sofa.

And I found this one for a client of mine on a budget.

*Actually this sofa is more refined that the one above.

DON'T throw up from the fabric!!!

When it is recovered.....

It will be gorgeous.

I love the beat up patina on this.

I will not refinish it.

I will ad a bit of a glaze with a touch more blue/green to the finish.

I am really good at glazes.

And I love to do it.

I am going to make it into a TIGHT BACK with 

fabulous custom pillows.

This sofa is 34" D   x  78" L  x  28 H

These are DREAM dimensions for me!!!

*I actually wanted the sofa myself.

I will post the sofa in it's room when completed.

What are your thoughts on TIGHT BACK sofas 

and bench seats?

Here Is A PEEK Inside Of The NEW Design Studio - Showroom

{That is not a real sign, I put in on with 'paint shop'}

Here is the front of the storefront @ 

100 Plaza Real South

Suite G

Boca Raton, Florida 33432

Sweet location.....ocean breezes.

Looking outside to the left of studio.

There will be fulling functioning ripple fold sheer draperies 

on either side of front window.

This will work out beautifully while 

we are doing our work inside before we open for business.

This is where the 12' wall unit will be.

When you walk in....

the big beautiful piece will be on your right.

This is the left side of the showroom, 

and there will be an office with wrap around glass.

*as shown below

Office on the left-

and on the right side

where I have X's ....the walls will be removed .

The room will go back to where you see a blue arrow,

and a bullseye (yellow) on a wall.

This is looking to the front of the store 

from the back wall that I was referring to in the picture above.

Back to work I go....

I need to get the phone lines hooked up, etc etc.

I Love you guys!!!!

Without your support, 

I don't believe this would be happening.

Thank you for all the love and kindness that has been shown to me

through out the years. xxx

I Love Glass

It Is So Important

And there are many reasons why....

Light

Bringing the outside inside -

I don't feel trapped in a room with huge windows.

It is bright and shiny....I like that!

While looking for just the right space for my new showroom....

 I found the location, and it wasn't easy to find a shop with enough 

window from left to right that would make me happy.

I did. It was perfect.

It just so happened the spot made my partner happy too,

and we knew this was the only unit for us.

But getting it was quite another story.

But finally after much finessing ....

we finally have the exact unit that we wanted. 

With big one big window!!!

re: this closet

Have you ever seen these closets ?

I am not sure, but I believe they are German made, and are absolutely cool.

Love them.

.

...and my point about how glass brings the outside inside,

it also will bring the inside outside.

 And that is just what I need 

when potential clients are walking, or driving by.

Right??

Andi's Favorite Girl

...

My daughter loves Natalie Portman...

so....

here is a peek into her apartment.

What I really want 

is your opinion on this living room!!!

The kitchen is nice.....

I haven't researched this at all...

but,

do you think she did her own interior design  ?

Or

had help from a professional ?

{ like maybe her mom's best friend's friend who is a decorator ?}

ummmmmm?????

okay, I will be leaving now.

Are you coming too?

Seriously....

what do you think?

You probably love it,

 and it's just me.

But.... I have to know.....!!!!

Should I take a few cues from this for my new line up in my showroom?

@$%$$#@@YYY??!!

Am I that out of touch?
