Yes, it seemed completely impractical with three boys running crazy through our space, but I was determined to find a way to make it work. There's just something about a dedicated spot of sunshine in the corner that brightens up even the most overcast of days.
I will admit, I wanted to go about it responsibly. Before I could completely dive in, I had to make sure I was really ready to take on a yellow sofa so I bought a $70 yellow slipcover for our Ikea Klippan. The slipcover was great, I could remove it and wash it whenever stains appeared - and the bright marigold color never became too much, or boring. So, I started on my search for a yellow sofa big enough to fit the entire family. Initially I wanted a luxe velvet sectional but quickly realized it was going to be a disaster waiting to happen with three boys and two cats. It was bound to take a beating and quickly.
So I kept on the search and stumbled upon Floyd sofas via an AD on Instagram. They're sustainably made in the USA, kid and pet-friendly. They come in three sizes and five colors, including my dream yellow! The more I read on the brand, the more I wanted to partner with them. And this, as it would turn out, was one of the best decisions I've made when it comes to our digs.
Aside from being probably the most comfortable sofa ever, it's ridiculously easy to put together, take apart and put back together again! My mind was BLOWN watching the process. The sofa came in 7 boxes, impeccably organized and straight to the point. We had the sofa put together and in place within 30 minutes. The cushions are firm but soft, like if denim could be velvety.
AND, of course...Four days into life with the Floyd sofa our resident three year old artist decided to make our brand new sofa his latest canvas with a red pen. After a couple dabs of rubbing alcohol, it was like the entire experience was a figment of my imagination. Color me impressed...
Let's check it out in our space...
What do you think?
A huge thank you to Floyd for sending us this sofa. As always, all opinions are my own.
