By now it’s no secret that we would love to own a cream colored couch but our two black Pomeranians shed too much for that to be a pretty reality. I know that owning a light colored couch is not practical. In fact, I once sublet an apartment with a white couch. It was one of those fabulous little daybed couches and it was beautiful. After only a few months of living with the couch it looked dingy and coffee stained. Why is it that in magazines people are always cuddling up on couches with coffee or red wine when it never works in real life?
Nevertheless the idea of having one in our home makes me swoon. After listing every reason why it was a bad idea, Peter and I decided to buy the next best thing–a white chair. The chair forces us to use five sheets of lint remover every time we welcome a guest into our home but it’s gorgeous. We opted a simple Tullsta from IKEA with a white chair cover. The shape of the chair makes it feel like it’s hugging you every time you sit down. It may be a pain to keep clean and a pain to keep the dogs off of but for us it was the perfect compromise.
Have you ever bought something completely impractical just because it was beautiful?
(Imagine it with a chair cover that hides its tan legs.)

I actually have that chair. Two of them to be exact! WE like them. We also got the matching ottoman. Its big and opens and has a slipcover that I have washed 47 times.
Hope you get one and like it too!!
I am visiting from SITS sharefest!
