Meet Alister!

Hi there!

So there's a large gap between my first and second post, because I have been so busy enjoying my spring break and moving to my new apartment. Meanwhile, second quarter at my school has already started so I'm trying to make the most out of my school schedule and personal life. During the break I have been so busy shopping for the perfect sofa, and after seeing hundreds, I finally decided on the one I fell in love with first.
Her name is Alister. She was very expensive (hence my endless search for a second choice) but I couldn't find anything else I really wanted so I ended up ordering her. Turned out she was backordered, so I still have to wait until the end of May to get it. I got her at Z Gallerie and she's very different from all the sofas I've seen. She has very classic retro lines, especially with the button tufted back cushions. The most beautiful part that gives her a chic, contemporary look, is the fabric (in Brussels Sky Grey). It's woven unevenly, so it gives the sofa a rich, vibrant color, which fits perfectly inside my new loft!
