And it was love at first peek! My default setting for moments of panic and confusion when it comes to my interiors (and my closet for that matter) is to go with black and white. And while it is, admittedly, a very safe choice, it's also very classic.
I adore the black trim detail and how cozy the piece looks. And, there will still be plenty of color in my own space to keep things soft and playful. While I'd be looking at doing it in a bit more modern shape, I'd keep the skirt and all. Still feminine and traditional, but a very different look from my original inclination... so what do you think? Do I go for it?

I adore that black and white sofa!!
ReplyDeleteRats! Can't see the other Crate&Barrel sofa, I'm getting a redirect loop...but the black & white one sure is pretty...
ReplyDeleteIs there room for both? They would look wonderful together!
ReplyDeleteGreat lines - love the black trim
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I love it! The black detail is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBlack & white is classic and beautiful. Go for it! You'll never get tired of it and you can always spice it up with some fun pillows.
ReplyDeleteI think that the detailing on the black and white is very elegant and chic.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!

GO FOR IT! I love it. It is very unique without being too trendy for such an investment.
ReplyDeleteThe black trim seals the deal! May-jah love!!
ReplyDeleteyou can never go wrong with black and white! love it
ReplyDeleteLike the others, I say you go for it. But I'm a huge waffler! I'd love to know if you have future "waffles" (design indecision). I post them on my site and readers vote for their favorite.
ReplyDeleteThat couch is gorgeous and classic, but all I can think when I see white furniture is how dirty it will get?
ReplyDeletePerhaps that's because our dog counts down the minutes until we leave for work so she can toss herself around on ours...
Quite honestly, I'm not seeing a lot I'm not in love with in that room. But that couch, glam and comfy? Yes, please.
ReplyDeleteWow is the word! Love it too.

Hi, Loving how classic and elegant the piece is. Makes me want to curl up with some popcorn and watch Casablanca. Would love to see the link to the other couch to find out if it can beat it (but I doubt it).
ReplyDeleteI think the black&white sofa will make you free to decorate your space in so many ways. Seems versatile, but not boring. Very interesting piece of furniture. A classic, yet you won't find many copies in other homes.
ReplyDeleteI adore the black detail too. Kisses.
ReplyDeletei love it all!!
ReplyDeleteits beautiful!
kisses

I think it is gorgeous (love that it mimics the black frames above). The skirt is my favorite part. And with little emerald green silk pillows? Mmm! I say go for it!
ReplyDeleteYes, the white with black looks great and there is no limits on how you can accessorize it!!
ReplyDeleteThe link doesn't work for me, but I do love the sofa pictured. Plus both rugs and the pom-pom throw.

I am such a committment-phobe when it comes to buying furniture! Love this sofa!
ReplyDeleteBoth are beautiful. Give yourself a week or two to mull over the choices. If the excitement of the new sofa wares off, then the original is probably the one for you!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I definitely think it is a great choice, you can never go wrong with black and white detailing.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty awesome, not gonna lie. I say yes!
ReplyDeleteI'd be overly paranoid the kids would spill something they weren't supposed to have on the sofa in the first place, but it is classic and looks cozy. Go.For.It!
ReplyDeleteThose are both such great pieces! The one you linked to doesn't look quite as cozy, but I love the shape. You have a tough choice, but they are both so classic! Keep us posted!

Sleep on it for a few days so you know you are making the right choice, but you have great options!
ReplyDeleteLove these spaces! Im obsessed with the black and white combo!

Good choice, I like it, especially the contrast with the black trim.

I think the Azure Sofa from Crate & Barrel is discontinued...choice made! =)
ReplyDeleteBlack and white all the way!!!
ReplyDeleteI love both-they are very different. I think I would opt for the Crate and Barrell in a white and add some chic black and white pillows-you will get the best of both worlds.
ReplyDeleteThe black and white sofa is so chic! If you nanotex the fabric it will never stain and will always look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteEthan Allen has a very similar one to the black and white sofa. I saw in person while sofa shopping and it is amazing! Go for it!
ReplyDeleteLove the sofa {just keep the little ones and furry friends away unless you elect to have it upholstered with removable/washable slipcovers!} It is absolutely classic and it definitely allows for easy redecorating as white + black never goes out of style- just change out your accessories!
ReplyDeleteThere are moments when I see things and I think "that is so Coco+Kelley" and had I spied that black and white sofa on Pinterest, it would have been one of those moments. Its sophisticated yet relatable. Absolutely love the CB sofa but its a little too understated. For what a stranger's opinion is worth :)
ReplyDeletePerfect design and linings. I find it so elegant and inviting. :D
ReplyDeleteExcellent room pictures, Specially the picture frames are extremely looking one of the most classy feature of this pictures. I am highly impressed to see them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGo for it; I would paint the room a bold color.
ReplyDeleteOh I love. Just classic.
ReplyDeleteLoving the carpet!
ReplyDeleteElegant & chic...this works. J'adore :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. I would just sit on that couch and admire my gorgeously decorated room for the rest of my life, great find!
ReplyDeleteLove from DC,

FYI the CB couch is no longer on their site and is going to only be a special order from now on (from Lee & way more $$) but it's still on display at the UV store and you can get the floor sample at a discount. At least it was available a few days ago when I was there...
ReplyDeleteHa! This post reminded me of myself when I bought my first house, thisone I leave in ;-)
ReplyDeleteI had the same doubt... I was dreaming with a petit sofa :-) but ended up going for a big one...
Though I like it and it is very confortable and it can turn into a bed for visits, I dream with the day I can have also a petit one :-)
