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?
