That is a gorgeous couch.

i know! any recommendations for where to go to custom make something without paying a decorator?

http://www.buildasofa.com/ and http://www.thrivefurniture.com/ are two places that I refer my clients to take a look at for sofa ideas. Thrive is very reasonable for the quality of the designs and materials they use they also have an amazing customer service policy. I don't know heaps about Build A Sofa but I think they are very easy to work with to get a more custom look on a budget.

I will say that you'd be surprised at the deals you can get working with a local designer directly because they often have vendor relationships that you might not be able to achieve negotiating on your own.

Best of Luck!

thanks for your help! I'm willing to pay to get it right I just don't know where to start. Wouldn't even mind working with a designer I just don't know how to go about finding one that suits my style.

I would check out sofa from North Carolina Furniture makers. They have many styles and you can select the fabric you would like and they will ship it too you. I can vouch for how comfortable they are and they last. The brand I really love is Drexel and they have a website. You can order from it or find a dealer near you. I am sure I need new upholstery just b/c it is a little dated but certainly not b/c it is worn out. It is white (with a pattern hence the outdated) but always cleaned easily when the dog got loose on it. It is in a formal living room but it was always the go to place for comfort. I used to study on it when working on my Master's Degree. One of the furniture dealers that carry them in NC is Grindstaffs. A lot of NC furniture stores discount and ship. Best of all it is American made.
