The last thing I need is another sofa but every time I see an English rolled arm sofa, I stop in my tracks. (Like on the cover of the book from yesterday’s post.)  I first posted about these lovelies here and here are some more from my collection.

I’m sure you’ve all seen Sofia’s place:

and yes, here’s Jenna Lyons’ living room again. But it’s from a different angle!

Good, right? By the way, did anyone see her on Oprah a while back? I don’t know what I was expecting exactly and she was cool but she was different from what I expected. What about you?

More examples of how fabulous black couches can be.

I have no idea why I have couches on the brain lately. I just do.

I have a couple of other things to share with you today. First, today is my debut at Apartment Therapy!  My first post will be up later this morning – so that’s afternoon, evening or early tomorrow for most of you – and you can look for me there regularly Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Second, I am sharing my messy desk as part of Ill Seen, Ill Said‘s wonderful series called “Where We Blog From.” Hope to see you at either or both places today. Thanks!

I would like to continue the discussion of this room from yesterday’s post.

Aside from the fab chandelier, I’m completely in love with this sofa.

It looks like this sofa from George Smith:

George Sherlock also makes a similar one:

There is also the Lee Industries version which Lauren at Pure Style Home actually found on Craiglist! She then had it upholstered in the most beautiful shade of green:

Isn’t it just the most gorgeous couch ever? (By the way, Lauren’s been decorating her new house and doing the most amazing job. If you haven’t seen it yet, you really must.)

I don’t need a sofa at the moment since ours is only a couple of years old. But someday I will and this one could work in a variety of different style of rooms:

and looky here, another occasion to post Jenna Lyons’ living room:

Will I ever tire of her house? At this point, I’m thinking no.

Do you have a favorite couch style?

Deviating from our usual ode to white around here, I’d like to show you some photos of gorgeous black couches I’ve been collecting. I never thought of buying a black couch before because I always thought of them as big, leather things for man caves but these have got me reconsidering.

This one is probably my favorite:

Do any of you have black couches? If you do, what pieces do you have with it? If not, would you ever consider it?
