Sofa: To Sell or Not to Sell...

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hello everyone! We've been busy packing things & selling stuff around here, my head is spinning! Today I came to a STOP & wondered if I should sell the  white provincial sofa I purchased in 2006. Yes, 2006 & it's been wrapped in (plastic) in my garage ever since - have never truly used it. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">For those of you who don't remember when I wrote about it on my blog, you can check out that 2006 post <a href="http://madebygirl.blogspot.com/2009/03/remember-this-sofa-well.html"><b><u>here</u></b></a>. I begged my guy to pull it out of garage today (<i>with my help</i>) & put it in our living room...I needed to see it in a home setting & not the garage. It looks so cold & lonely down there, not a pretty sight,<i> know what I mean ladies?!?</i> He was sweet enough to help me - it was crazy - but we did it.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDOdAw2lpxlDUQGjSWVWd09_x5MjughypD-71Ff1cJ4nOCZOyh6m0gRPW5G218-yQqPGI01s1_2l7g-QO_MZbzB1TOg5l9zud769yt5JoPKSsQfJS_7Z92RxwOICIE3CQUBXqcFEVyX-Y/s1600/IMG_6228x.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDOdAw2lpxlDUQGjSWVWd09_x5MjughypD-71Ff1cJ4nOCZOyh6m0gRPW5G218-yQqPGI01s1_2l7g-QO_MZbzB1TOg5l9zud769yt5JoPKSsQfJS_7Z92RxwOICIE3CQUBXqcFEVyX-Y/s1600/IMG_6228x.jpg" /></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anyways, I'm faced with a dilemma, my guy likes the sofa but doesn't think it's practical to have a white sofa as our 'main' sofa! Perhaps he's right...but I paid for it & have never used it. I feel like I'd be cheating myself.  He says we'll have to be covering it up with throws, like you see in the photo below...and again, maybe he's right. He also told me that he wouldn't feel like he could relax on it without me watching over his shoulder...</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> I'm so confused, I don't want it to get dirty...<i>should I care that much??  Should I get creative & paint a black pattern or spots on the couch with black fabric paint???</i>  I figured the dots would conceal any potential dirt, basically making it harder to spot it.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, I could just SELL it as new ($880), since I've never used it or haul it to my new place in NYC. PLEASE let me know what you guys think......I'm seriously at a loss.  It's so pretty & comfortable...I want it, he doesn't so much...</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is what it looks like in my living room right now....& what it would probably look like in my new place, all covered up in a fur throw. <b>Do you guys think it would look good with my white daybed in the same space?!?</b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5pwVLG5MwLoHwo7XDT-f6dtRUOdArVYA3vk3m337Jp_Kgzka3MOIst_Gxk21zoNyIxoADvkSDRVxuYOLURZMGNLSInf18Z8oYCdcvVQ3HN2IQ9pChmkhNi3FT41vaEl-1pNS7JsYgGGA/s1600/Photo1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5pwVLG5MwLoHwo7XDT-f6dtRUOdArVYA3vk3m337Jp_Kgzka3MOIst_Gxk21zoNyIxoADvkSDRVxuYOLURZMGNLSInf18Z8oYCdcvVQ3HN2IQ9pChmkhNi3FT41vaEl-1pNS7JsYgGGA/s1600/Photo1.jpg" /></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">This picture below was the inspiration for getting the sofa reupholstered in a white fabric...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhecygyngOXSYq00EBqFfQD6pptgcVbSd5dOAOzNNQtu-C5YdUXZdch2bym6JyswOyBG69C3uilL8stKykVKtetkBvb1VlAtLQ2VrkJzaBmzpGdtN1MF2RNb9LYr7dHxc4fUm-fwoivz08/s1600/Picture%252B4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhecygyngOXSYq00EBqFfQD6pptgcVbSd5dOAOzNNQtu-C5YdUXZdch2bym6JyswOyBG69C3uilL8stKykVKtetkBvb1VlAtLQ2VrkJzaBmzpGdtN1MF2RNb9LYr7dHxc4fUm-fwoivz08/s1600/Picture%252B4.png" /></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">- top 2 images by jen ramos</span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">- last image domino</span><br /><br /><br />
