Well, I thought so too until I saw this...
Azure sofa in Wisteria from Crate and Barrel on SALE. Floor sample sale! $697! Originally priced at $1800.
I actually didn't buy it right away because I wasn't sure if the scale would work in our family room.
Plus, I wanted a daybed.
A week later, I stopped by C&B again and it was still there!
Nope, I still didn't purchase it but this time I actually talked to a salesman about it. I got the dimensions and found out that it's a discontinued item.
When I got home, I taped the dimensions on the floor(we have the space!) and talked to Mark about it.
He was okay with it. By this time, the weekend has passed.
I was certain it would be gone.
I called and not only was it there but they did another price cut!
$597!!!
SOLD!
Here it is now in our family room...
WE LOVE IT!
{Props to Mark for agreeing to a pinkish/purplish sofa!}
Does this happen to you? Are you swayed in favor of a good bargain?
We are off to NY to visit family and friends and for a much needed vacation! I'll try to check in as often as I can. I also have some great guest posts lined up for you!
Stay Cool!

ReplyDeleteabsolutely perfect!!!! I do get swayed often with a good bargain, but not with furniture, I often am like you, think, measure, then get. Your family room looks so comfy and inviting. I love it! :-)

ReplyDeleteI am most def swayed by a bargain whether I need the item or not. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI love the curve and the tufting of the sofa. AND the color is practically a neutral since it's muted. That would be my story to my hubby;)
AAAHHH! What a fantastic deal!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I think you will enjoy it more than a daybed
ReplyDeleteAhaha no daybed! You crack me up, isn't the journey of interior design so interesting? I love the colour and shape of this piece. I think it was meant to be all along.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got it!! It was just ment to be. :) Just go ahead and send your old settee to me. :) Have a great trip!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic- thank you Mark! That sofa was meant to be, as we see it in our twisted shopaholic minds over here..have a great time in NY!
