Sofa So Good

For something like a sofa, it's difficult to go vintage and get something that's both sleek and comfortable. Plus for me, a sofa is almost like a bed - you kind of have to buy it new. Not to say there aren't some really great examples of modern, minimal, vintage sofas out there, but when you do find one, the price of often higher than getting something new.

One of the best sources I've found in Seattle is Modern Design Sofas. www.moderndesignsofas.com. Not only do they have a great selection of central entertaining seating systems, but they also stock some very cool chairs, lighting, accessories and more. We bought the sofa shown here and ordered a second set of washable microfiber covers to handle the heavy traffic of our 2 kids and rambunctious beagles. Their prices are really affordable with the sectional shown selling for $1400, we didn't find a better deal locally anywhere.
