Our New Sectional from Interior Define

May 11, 2016

A couple weeks ago, the Ainsley sectional from Interior Define was delivered, unboxed and put together in the basement family room by two men in shoe covers wearing white gloves. It felt really luxurious, but then, like nothing, compared to the way the actual sectional feels. We've been enjoying movie nights, letting the girls run around while we lounge and chat, working with our feet stretched out. We never want to get off this thing. It's good. It's so very good.

I talked about the decision process in this post, but now that it's here, it's easier to see how and why we wanted a sectional to look just like this. While Interior Define didn't have the exact sectional we wanted listed, their site says, "All of our furniture is made-to-order, and you can customize nearly all of our pieces without significantly altering the price." So, I thought it was worth seeing if they could make their Ainsley sectional into a U-shaped one with a chaise on either side and a big, casual bench cushion in the middle (there's nothing like sitting on a cushion crack for an entire movie, am I right?). I even gave them the exact length we were shooting for (this sucker is 149" long!), so it would sit right in front of the built-ins. They were able to check off everything on our wish list and THEN we were able to choose what upholstery we wanted--The Pebble Weave in Dove was the winner. It's a nice warm gray with some variance–always a plus when kids are involved!–has a lot of texture to it and feels extremely soft.

A few other details we can't stop gawking over? The piping around every part and the perfectly dense cushions. Speaking of cushions, the back cushions aren't attached, so they can easily be fluffed or moved if you wanted and the bottom cushions are removable but velcroed in place so they don't slide around--nice touch. Some of you were wondering, how's the scale? When we were looking at all of Interior Define's options, we specifically went with a style with a long chaise because we're a tall family. For reference, I'm 6'0" and here I am awkwardly sprawling out.

The good news is, my in-laws who are average to short in stature, find the couch really comfortable, too. They said they liked how they didn't feel they were sinking in or unable to get up.

Since all of the recessed lights are on dimmers, we nixed table lamps around the couch (although there is still accent lighting in other areas of the room) and decided to opt out of end tables, too, so we could maximize the seating space. The sofa comes equipped with really wide (nearly 10 inches!) armrests which are perfect for steadying a snack, drink, or book so the extra surface space and table would provide isn't missed.

In short, we're thrilled with it and couldn't recommend it enough. While we've only had it for about a month now, so we'll be sure to revisit it as time passes to keep you updated on how it wears.

Our big, 149", double chaise sectional configuration retails for about $3500--an unheard of price for something that big and custom, but Interior Define has really beautiful custom sofas beginning at just $900, including white glove delivery, a 365 day return policy, and a dedicated service concierge.

  1. May I ask how your Interior Define sofa is holding up? I'm considering purchasing, but the reviews about saggy material on the cushions is making me have second thoughts. I know they sponsored your review and it was only a couple of weeks after receiving it, but how is it now after a few years?

  2. Hi there! Was just doing some sofa research and came across your blog post. Really curious to hear – how has it held up over the years?

  3. How long is each chaise on both sides of the sofa? What did you have to customize it to? Thanks!

    I've read reviews that say the cushions don't flip which makes them look wrinkly. Has this been an issue for you?

    1. We're super happy with the sofa. All the dimensions are on their site and you can even request the Chris Loves Julia configuration and they'll do it for you easy!

  4. Did you have to call and request the bench middle seat and extra long chaise? I'm not seeing those options on the website. thanks!

  5. I'm looking seriously at Interior Define and most especially the Dove Pebble Weave fabric. How are you liking your sofa after a year? Is the fabric holding up?
    Thanks!
    Nancy

  6. How is the dog hair clean up with the pebble weave fabric? I am considering an interior define sectional and have a chocolate lab and white cat so color may not be the solution as much as fabric texture... Any advice?

  7. Julia, would you mind giving an update on how the sectional is holding up? Are the seat cushions just as pleasant as they first were? The back cushions-are they still "plump-able"? Does the overhang of the seat cushions ever bother you-like you want to go over and pull them back, but obviously you can't? Last inquiry-how has the fabric held up to dog, snacks, bodies, etc? Thank you so much for your input--I so want to pull the trigger and order our sectional but in a house that has 2 huge sofa-loving dogs and a few(ahem!)cats, I'm scared to plop down the money and have everything go south!

  8. I, too, love the Ainsley sectional. We are looking for something similar for our basement space. Something we can all sit on as a family of 5. Something sleeping bags can be spread out on when there is a sleepover. Something able to hold up tot the kids. The only difficult decision to be made is color.

  9. I love the Henry sectional and Ainsley! But whatever couch you have in your basement would be PERFECT for our upstairs loft/playroom!!! Swoon.

  10. So hard to choose, each piece of furniture is amazing! The Owen's Sofa would be perfect for my house

  11. I am loving the Lucy and the Ainsley couches! We seriously need a good new couch that doesn't have baby and toddler stains all over it ha!

  12. I love yours. Love how the arms of the chaise sections go the full length of the chaise. Perfection!

  13. Seriously I would take any of them, but since I have a big family I want the exact one you chose?

  14. I actually really like the Ainsley. I also love the one in dark rich colors but...small children.

  15. Definitely the Ainsley sectional. I love how deep it is. It would be perfect for our family room.

  16. I have long been in love with deep blue velvet couches and the Caitlin sofa is just a perfect example. It's beautiful!

  17. I want the Ainsley too! We are looking for a new house and I can't wait to upgrade our couch.

  18. LOL - how did *you* even choose? They're all so gorgeous. Today I want the Asher sofa... Tomorrow? It could totally change. Le sigh. So beautiful.

  19. Oops, I didn't know you had to respond on the blog, I accidentally responded on the Instagram post. I love the Walters in Dove or coal. We have been searching for a sectional for our awkward family room. We found a place similar to Interior Define here in Orange County, CA but the Walters is exactly what we are looking for. I totally trust Chris and Julia's recommendations! Just ordered our mattress based on their reviews and suggestions!

  20. LOVE the Ainsley so much!! We are recently married and have been upgrading our house. SO MUCH TO DO!!!
    By the way, thank you so much for posting about the CO detectors. We looked at all our detectors at our home and found out that none were for CO! We ran to the store to buy some right away! Thank you for sharing and I am glad your family is safe!

    Lots of love,

    Caroline

  21. I literally have the Sloan sofa stored in my Interior Define shopping cart! My husband and I are doing some last minute home purchasing before our first baby arrives in October. This giveaway could be a huge weight lifted! :)

  22. We have been stalking these couches since your first post. We would pick the Ainsley sectional as well, but in a darker gray. Glad you guys are okay, CD is a scary experience.

  23. Dreaming of that Ainsley sectional! We have been looking for so long as we have a long narrow living room space with built-ins at one end that definitely requires a sectional but at a very specific size. But, like your post mentioned, a sectional that size comes at a steep price. The option to semi-customize would be perfect! Thanks for sharing about Interior Define; have gotten so many great ideas from your blog!

  24. Entered! I'm in love with the Caitlin Chair in Sapphire Velvet! http://www.interiordefine.com/chris-loves-julia-picks/caitlin-chair#LK-14342-25/Leg008-3

    Also...unsure if you're reading these (because a million entries) but there is some sort of ad on your site that is making the page unusable in mobile iOS. It (even if you kill scripts on the page) takes you to a page to "win an iphone" and it will not let you navigate back. I reloaded the page multiple times and finally had to give up and find a computer ;)

  25. We bought our current sectional used on Craigslist 9 years ago and sure could use an upgrade! I love the Ainsley because that size would go perfect in our living area. I really think your choice is perfection and would love the exact one in my home! Thank you for introducing me to interior define.

  26. I would get the Ainsley as well. I've been loving following you for the past couple of years - I'm a fellow tall girl and comfortable furniture is so important!

  27. My boyfriend and i just purchased our first home in new orleans and have completely gutted it. We are currently mid re-build (HVAC & plumbing what up!). I have been DREAMING of a sectional for our new living room, but alas have to spend all my money on workers, nails, sheet rock, etc.... you know the deal!!

    One day we will hopefully have a home half as cool as yours! But until then I will just be over here broke obsessing over faucets.... (I mean really, HOW do you choose?)

    I love yours, but I also really am digging the Caitlin by Everygirl. I think I would go with Ash or the Tin and then pillows galore

  28. I've been eyeing the Rose sofa for a while, but now you've got me more interested in those shelter chairs for my family room!

  29. I would choose the Ainsley with the right chaise. It would be perfect in my living room that I am working on. The lagoon color is perfect! This would be an amazing help!

  30. Be still my Ainsley heart. That would be our winner. We just closed on our new house on Thursday, what a wonderful day dream to think about in such an unfriendly unpacking state. (:

  31. I'm digging the Sloan corner sectional in the linen pebble weave fabric and the oiled walnut legs. I'm already visualizing it taking the place of my mother in law's hand me down couch from the early 1970's that is an eye sore in our basement TV/video game/playroom. Love everything you guys have done in your basement. Also love your kitchen and was bummed our dated orange oak kitchen wasn't the winner of your transformation makeover contest. Sad face. Oh well! Thanks for all the inspiration you give!

  32. I would choose the Russell for my Teens Playriom/Man Cave in Graphite and the Ainsely for our living room in Sky fabric. Both of these rooms need new couches desperately so either would be perfect!!

  33. It would have to be Caitlyn by The Everygirl! (P.S. Love me these two Chicago companies!!) Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

  34. I loveeee the everygirl line specifically the Caitlin. Thanks for introducing me to this great brand!!

  35. I'm in desperate need of a need and comfy couch (preferably a sectional). I would LOVE to have the Ainsley!

  36. I'm digging Rose but with really like the sectional you chose and I'm thinking it would be a nice piece for our new basement addition!

  37. I love love the Ainsley. We are in desperate need of a new couch and this would fit perfect in our smaller living room! Love the way you have it set up-- dreamy!

  38. I think I'd go for a pair of Ainsley accent chairs for our living room/library. They look nice, but also comfy for curling up with a book:)

  39. I love the Caitlin chair. It would look perfect in the living room of the house we just bought!

  40. I'm a first year teacher on the search for the perfect budget-friendly couch for my new apartment and the Rose by The Everygirl is singing to me :) Now if only I had that gorgeous brick wall in the picture to go with it!

  41. The Rose has been on my wishlist for literally years! One day it'll be mine, hopefully sooner than later! :)

  42. Ooh so amazing! I would love the Shelter Sleeper! We have such limited space, it would be so perfect! Guests would get to sleep on a comfy sleeper sofa instead of a air mattress. I'm all swoon eyes over your beautiful playroom!

  43. Desperately need a new couch. We're currently entertaining on a third-hand college apartment couch, which is trashed and embarrassing.

  44. I'm thinking of a switch up in our house. Making the dining room into the tv room and living room into the dining room. The sloan corner sectional would fit perfectly in the corner. I can imagine many comfy evenings watching our favorites tv shows. Thanks for the give away!

  45. After moving this past weekend, I am eying several Interior Define pieces. However, if I had to pick one for my new place today, I would probably go with the Asher (in Heather or Lagoon), with a right facing chaise lounge: http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/asher. So many good choices, but I think that one fits best in my apartment and my budget.

  46. How perfect, we are also working on new furniture and reno of our basement family room, and the couch has caused a divide. It's so hard to find clean lines combined with comfort. I love the SLOAN (in Dove Pebble Weave) with Matte Black Square legs! I would probably get the chairs or a loveseat to match also :)

  47. ohh! living room or basement? ainsley is great! and the shelter sleeper sofa is perfect for extra guests!

  48. I love the Ainsley as well! We are moving in a month and we are in search of a great looking but comfortable couch for our new family room. We want it to look super nice but provide the comfort to sit as a family of 5 and watch a movie. Thank you for leading the way for me.

  49. I'd get the Ainsley as well, but in a traditional sectional corner sofa. We're in the market, and I love the lines!

  50. Um hi, I love this giveaway! Thank you so much you kind soul for sharing this beauty of a company with us all. I cant stop thinking about this couch http://www.interiordefine.com/walters#NT-52594-50/ it's in my dreams and has been ever since our old (new) couch doesnt go so well with our new house and space. SMH so this is awesome and I just have all my fingers and toes crossed right now

  51. My goodness, the Owens sofa in Stone would just be delightful in our family room! Great giveaway and your basement looks so warm and cozy!

  52. After doing some fun on-line window shopping my personal favorite is the Owens. It would be perfect for our small space and I can imagine sitting on it with my three little ones, covered in blankets and reading books. (To be fair, most of our “reading” time is spent listening to the 3-year-old recite the book from memory because the baby is chewing on it and we can’t actually turn the page. Meanwhile, the 6-year-old just sits next to us holding her own book, periodically looking over with her eyebrows raised.) I can also see sitting on it in the evening with my husband and watching the sunset.

    As I write this it feels like it could be a sort of memory couch. Where down the road the kids say “Remember when we used to sit on that ___ couch and pinch each other while Mom read stories?” Or my husband “Remember when we used to sit on that ___ couch thinking that the baby stage would never end?” So even though my natural inclination is to go neutral so that I can use pillows for accent colors, I feel like the couch itself needs to be memorable. Maybe cerulean blue?

    Anyway, the basement transformation was fun to watch and your couch looks great! Thank you for the giveaway!

  53. We are in dire need of a new sectional that can fit our fam of 6! Love the shape and fabric of yours!

  54. I would love this exact sofa! Can't help it- I'm a copy cat and a sucker for a good nap couch!

  55. I would choose
    LUCY BY THE EVERYGIRL or else the Owens chair. Too many good options!! Thanks for this giveaway!

    Brianne

  56. Awesome setup! That Ainsley custom piece looks super comfy. I'd have to go with the Ainsley accent chair!

  57. It's time to replace our 20 year old sectional that has survived my kids messy teenage years but has developed a hole in the springs. Somehow it seems I always end up sitting in that spot when watching movies as a family! It may go with my son to his first apartment if I can talk my husband into buying a new one. I'm torn between the Asher and the Ainsley. I like the mod look of the Asher but the Ainsley would probably be my first pick. Love that the clean lines of all of Interior Define's furniture!

  58. I am crushing on the Caitlin by The Everygirl in Cinder! Our den remodel is underway and after the hardwoods and molding, this baby would be the center of attention as she should be!!!

  59. I would choose the HENRY corner sectional in ASH color! Be perfect for my guest bedroom transformation to a family room inspired by all things chrislovesjulia! The most perfect blog ever?

  60. I love the "CAITLIN BY THE EVERYGIRL"accent chair! We just bought our first house, and our new master bedroom is begging for a cozy lounge chair! It would be perfect!

  61. What a brilliant concept, finally a cozy AND attractive sectional! Thanks for sharing! Loving the Sloan sectional with natural oak legs

  62. First of all, to only pick one is torture.m, but I think I would have to for with the Walters with the right chaise. I really like the sapphire fabric or some sort of tan.

  63. The Caitlin is for sure my fav. I would buy it immediately if I won the $1000!! Fingers crossed. We need a new sofa anyways! :)

  64. What a great opportunity. You had me with this couch when I saw the long cushions. Because you are right-no one likes the crack! And we fight over it every time we watch a movie! Love the Ainsley and the color! Well done! Hoping to win!

  65. We move into our new house in 2 weeks!? I want to do pretty much everything you did for our media room and I love that you can customize your couch with interior define! Such a plus for us taller ones! :) So I would go with the Ainsley for our media room http://www.interiordefine.com/ainsley-chaise-rt#NT-3335-21/
    But I also love the Caitlyn and Lucy by the everygirl. Maybe I need all three! Media room, living room, and sitting room!

  66. I would love to have the Harper sofa in the dove color...I have an old red velvet sofa which has great lines but is needing to be replaced.

  67. I love Rose by The Everygirl! I've been drooling over roll arm sofas for years now & this one is gorgeous! Thanks for the giveaway!

  68. Not to be the fun spoiler but you will probably want to make an over the arm (or back) table for your sofa. I say this as someone who now has lovely drink glass rings from condensation on mine. (I have a WE Walton sectional).

  69. UGH! So many to choose from. I need a sofa for the living room & a chair for the family room, but either way, I'm loving the Caitlin!!!

  70. Awesome, thank you for your detailed review! My husband and I are actually looking for a grey sectional for when we move in August. He's very tall and loves the chaise style, and my must-have list includes big, thick arms and comfy cushions. The Russell (http://www.interiordefine.com/chris-loves-julia-picks/russell-chaise-lt) might be what we're looking for! I would get it in a darker grey because the light sofa we have now is showing a lot of wear.

  71. I'm crushing on the Sloan. We are mid (Ok beginning... just studs) attic master suite addition, and this would be perfect in our sitting area, which falls in the eaves.... ah, dreamy.

  72. I'd love the Ainsley! We have a u-shaped sectional that is not great quality, and I would love to keep the configuration.

  73. We'd probably choose the Lucy or Sloan with a slim raised leg on our hardwood floors. Our living room is pretty big so your shape is is probably spot in for what we want in our new house!
    P.S. We had a smaller sectional in our old house and found a C table was pretty handy if you need more spots for drinks and such. Check out the Siena C table in gold or the Avenue Black C table. They work out great for the person stuck in the middle who ends up holding thier drink during the whole movie!

  74. I would totally copy you guys and go with the Ainsley! I love the straight lines and cozy vibe!

  75. The playroom is looking really good. It's crazy how far it has come since the trampoline. I'm really excited to see how your stairs turned out.
    My husband and I listened to the podcasts yesterday. We're excited for more :)
    I really love the Owens and the Sloan. Hard time choosing just one!!

  76. Hi Julia! Thanks for sharing such a great opportunity again! I love reading your blog. I have been religiously following you especially since we have just bought our first house! We are planning to live here for next 20+ years of our lives and so far it has been very exciting journey to renovate!

    I have definitely joined your giveaway! I had so much fun picking out my favorite from Interior Define. :)
    I picked OWENS with heather fabric and oiled walnut legs. Those are my dream!!!
    http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/owens-chair#NT-62272-7/Leg001-2

    They look so warm yet so chic. :)
    Hope you are having great day! Thanks Julia!

  77. We're in need of a smallish sleeper for our guest/office/music/everything room. The shelter sleeper would be perfect!

  78. I love the Ainsley?It looks so comfy and I love the wide arms. Can imagine how it would look in my room☺️

  79. I'm so in love with the Ainsley. Hopefully it will fit in our new house. It is exactly what we have been looking for.

  80. Love, love, love the legs on that Sloan. We need a big u shaped sectional just like yours. Excited by the possibilities!

  81. I would definitely pick the Ainsley as well! Perfect family sectional with great kid friendly upholstery! What an awesome giveaway and gorgeous new family space you've created!

  82. I remember checking them out first when you mentioned you could customize for your needs! We just moved into a house where a normal anything DOES NOT fit in the front room with a door (or 2) or window or stairs (or BOTH!) on every wall. But I am really digging the alice chair, especially in the mustard to pop against our moody blue walls: http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/alice-swivel#LK-14342-21//

    (the instructions on interior define say you have to include a link, but I didn't notice that up top, so i did it anyways...)

  83. The playroom is looking great! I love the color of the sofa. The Caitlyn chair is beautiful and would be my pick from your favorites.

  84. And the winner is... the Ainsley sofa with chaise in Fog!! The entire selection of sofas are amazing. hanks so much for introducing us to this company. Can't wait to share the website with friends.

  85. The ainsley all the way. it looks like it could actually fit our tall selves, the baby, and both dogs. whew.

  86. OBSESSED with the ainsley couch. Our current (besides being 10+ years old) has super high arms and it's So uncomfortable!

  87. "The Gray" would be perfect for our tv room. This is the best give away ever! alllll my fingers crossed! Thank you Interior Define and CLJ!!

  88. I love the idea of a the sleeper sofa, I have a small 2 bedroom house so having a pull out couch tha doesn't look like one would be so nice when my family comes to visit.

  89. I would go with the Ainsley sectional. I have the Ikea Kivik, which is similar, but I love the colors/fabrics available for the Ainsley.

  90. I really love the CAITLIN BY THE EVERYGIRL!!! I bet it would be amazing in a velvet color, it looks so comfy.

  91. We currently use an inherited decades old leather couch that is worn out and way too big for our apartment. I'd love this! We'd probably choose the gray or the Harper.

  92. What an amazing giveaway!! I love the Ainsley corner sectional, perfect for a growing family like ours and for entertaining!

  93. Definitely Caitlin By the Everygirl Chair, though the fabric choice would be tough. They are all fabulous!

  94. I would choose the Ainsley as well: http://www.interiordefine.com/ainsley-chaise-lt#NT-3335-22/ except in Zinc with the pebble weave. And I love your configuration - it would be perfect for our space - though I might like the corner sectional too with a chaise added on the right side. Is that even doable? :D

    Thank you for doing a give-away. I am so excited even for the possibility of winning. Woot! ;D

    ~Rebecca

  95. I'd love love love a Walters in dove for our living room. Our recently expanded family of four has outgrown our love seat for cozy reading. Thanks for the chance to win!

  96. One of my favs would be the CAITLIN BY THE EVERYGIRL chair in Ash. Also I realllly wish we had more space in our living room for a beautiful sectional like yours, I am in love!

  97. Hard to choose, but a replica of your version of the Ainsley would probably be at the top of my list!

  98. Love the Rose style. I've been eyeballing that particular style for a long time and would love the excuse to take the plunge ! Those engineered prints of Greta and Faye are so great too!

  99. I would choose the Caitlyn By The Everygirl in Natural Heavy Cloth with Oiled Walnut Legs! It is a modern twist on traditional perfect for our new house :)

  100. I would love to replace the couch in our room with our baby grand and the Owen's Sofa would be perfect in dove or ash with the matte black legs. Fingers crossed!!

  101. Love the Lucky by Everygirl. Not sure how I found your blog but love your decorating taste. If seems very livable. With 3 boys and a dog , I need that!

  102. Rose from the everyday girl!
    It's so elegant and would be such a nice peice in our new home!!
    Btw, you guys are really amazing at making homes so beautiful!!

  103. I'm loving the Ainsley with one chaise! I really need a new sofa for our Den and this one would be just right!

  104. I would likely pick the Sloan, even though it wasn't one of Julia's picks! We did check out the products in the Chicago showroom and they are actually even better than what you see on-line. Fabrics are terrific, rich and comfortable. Too much to pick from. We will be getting ready to order soon.

  105. I really like the Henry. My husband is 6'4", my 4 year old believes that laying down is the only way to couch and I just want a little spot in the corner where no one is going to kick my coffee cup out of my hand. Our current couch isn't cutting it.

  106. Wow you guys are amazing!! Best give away ever! Not sure if I'm suppose to choose from items on link ...if so, I'd be so thrilled to order the Caitlyn by Everygirl in Saphire. If we could use gift toward anything I'd probably go with Ainsley Fabric Sofa w/ Right Chase in "Linen" Pebble Weave (tempted to add chase to left side also).
    Thank you!

  107. The Ainsley would also be my choice. Perfect for napping and lounging and a beauty to look at! Crossing my fingers!

  108. Loving the Ainsley!! Moving into a new house and have been couch hunting... Your post couldn't come at a better time!!

  109. So many great choices, but I still love your Ainsley. Fingers crossed since my family room is calling out for a larger sofa to accommodate the grandchildren! Thanks for the giveaway

  110. The Harper in Cerulean Blue (http://www.interiordefine.com/shop/harper#NT-6013-17/). Our couch is one of the centers of our home - our son is learning to walk, so we're constantly leaning him up against it, the dogs love to snuggle with us on the couch, you can see the kitchen from the couch-so it is an obvious place to lounge and still be part of the heart of the home!

  111. I would choose the Shelter Slipcover chair…the perfect place to curl up and read a book in our bedroom!

  112. I have been looking for a sectional for our new home! They have so many great options! I think the Ainsley or Walters would work best for us!

  113. We are actually in need of a new sofa. I've looked at their website, they have some beautiful ones. BUT, I'd definitely choose a custom one very similar to yours. Thanks for the opportunity to make it very affordable!

  114. Help me do my homework! I listened to your podcast and immediately thought - I HATE our couches... but we can't afford to replace them... yet. I would choose the Henley or the Kelley in Oxford Blue - perfection.

  115. Oh MAN - you have no idea how much I need this right now. My husband has very few opinions about things, especially home related, but when he does he feels very very strongly. And one of those things is the sofa he will sit on. We used to have this vintage couch that I bought for $100 on craigslist. It had great lines and was an awesome yellow color, but it was not in the best shape. When we moved we sold that couch, and I tell you I have never heard the end of it. He loved that thing. No other couch will ever compare. It had really wide arms so he could set his laptop on it, it was firm so that you didn't sink into it. In husband world it had the perfect proportions. I have been looking for a something that will fit his list of requirements for over a year and kicking myself that I didn't just bring the vintage couch across the country. FINALLY I think I have found something that will work for him. I love that everything on here can be customized, so he can get exactly what he wants. PLEASE SAVE ME FROM THE HORRIBLE HAND ME DOWN SOFA WE ARE SITTING ON RIGHT NOW BECAUSE HE WON'T CHOOSE ANYTHING THAT ISN'T EXACTLY PERFECT!!!

    Fairly certain we would go with the Ainsley, but perhaps add legs for a little more height, and only one chaise. :-)

  116. So many to choose! I love them all. If I had to pick one for my current living room it would be the smaller version of the gray in a deep blue. Love your sectional. Happy movie watching.

  117. Just got a new sofa darn it. But thought of something you might like. Try building some wood "U" shaped "sleeves" to go over your arm rests. It would make for a more sturdy place to rest a drink, snacks etc

  118. I would like the Owens or Rose Accent chairs in a grey fabric - we need one in our front room for extra seating. I love how the Rose blends modern & traditional design. Thanks for the chance to win!

  119. I believe I would pick the 110" "CAITLIN BY THE EVERYGIRL" chaise sofa in stone. With matte black legs. It's lovely!

  120. The Ainsley just like your design would be perfect in my new home! I have never seen a sectional look so good. Love your taste Julia!

  121. I am crushing hard on the Rose! Especially in the Cerulean Blue canvas and the white oak legs.

  122. I LOVE the Gray!! I can't do loose back cushions, my kids pull them off the couch multiple times a day, lol!

  123. I would love to get the Sloan with right chaise in Charcoal basketweave! It would go perfectly with our other furniture, and I think it's about time I got rid off our old leather couch that was passed on to us by my parents.

    Although the Ainsley looks really great too, and it would be good since the cats won't go sneaking around under the couch!
