velvet sofa on the brain

When we moved in, we bought an amazing sofa off of craigslist for $250. It's HUGE. It's an 8 foot by 8 1/2 foot L-couch. It was so beautiful. Brand new.


Looked something like this



 enter..... the monsters (aka moose and otter). now it looks like this: We are far too in love with the couch to get another. We are also far too cheap. Instead, we're thinking about having it slip-covered in a cotton velvet. Velvet sofas look so cozy and are (apparently) relatively easy to clean and wear really well. If you're into wearing sofas out. Which we are.
I want it to be the kind of couch that you lay on and immediately fall asleep. Mainly cause it will be a funny scene when we have people over.. "Can I get you anything to dri..?" Zzzzzzzz.
