I've always loved William Birch style sofas and have hoped to one day own one. And so the hunt began.

After looking and looking, we ended up stopping in the new Laura Ashley store that just opened in Dubai Mall and while there was nothing like it on the floor, we flipped through their catalogue. And what did I find? MY SOFA! And it was love at first sight. :)
We chose it exactly as shown - in a beautiful natural linen with sexy dark legs. Sure, it's going to take up to 16 WEEKS (!) to arrive, and we'll have to sit on the floor or on fold up lawn chairs in the meantime, but heck, she's a beauty!
My plan is to sew up a slipcover for it so that we'll have 2 looks in one. And after seeing this slipcovered one, I can't wait to work on it. It will feel so cool and fresh in this hot climate. I'm so excited!

I am in love with that sofa! It is beautiful! Lisa, it has to be fun starting with an empty canvas!

Great choice!!!
It's wonderful to find that piece that starts you off from turning you blank canvas into something wonderful!!
Have a blast decorating your new place...can't wait to see what you come up with.
That is some sexy legs all right! 16 weeks thats a blink of an eye...your container and sofa should come at same time!! It will feel like Christmas!! Great pick!
Have a wonderful weekend!
I am green with envy, that's just the kind of sofa I love. Well done finding it so quickly! Love Linda x
Love that sofa - worth the wait. Love the legs!
Lisa, beautiful sofa...it will be well worth the wait. Thank god something was available other than the other two options!! Robx
Ooh, I love it when the planets align! XOL

Hi Lisa,
Your new sofa is exquisite!!
Congrats!!
And don't give another thought to mine, other than to remind you that next on the list is to find the thrift and consignment stores in Dubai!! I can't imagine what they must get rid of with their obscene amounts of money!!!
I think of you often. It sounds like you are adjusting well.
Have a wonderful week.
Lots of Love,
Terri
Love the Ann Mashburn sofa :-)

Super choice of sofa, it is super versatile. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am following you now, would love if you would follow back. Have a great day.

Not only is it stylish, but it looks oh-so-comfy...I think I'm crushing big time on that adorable pink version...love it! You have such a fun blog here, my dear, and what a crazy/cool life in a foreign country! Dubai is so amazing, I can't wait to hear about more of your adventures here, so glad you came to visit so I could find you! (c:
Very pretty sofa, but what caught me was that you were going to sew up a slip cover. You can sew slip covers? I've only accomplished napkins and a couple of pillow slips. You're a talented girl!
That is going to be lovely!!!
