For the Love of a Tufted Sofa

Hi all I hope you've had a wonderful start to the week, mine was ok apart from waking up this morning with a cold.  Typical in this household, we managed to get through winter with just a few sniffles and the first sign of sunshine and both mighty mouse and myself are sick.

Never mind it gave me an excuse not to start sorting out the basement which had been my plan for the day, instead I was able to catch up on reading some of my favourite blogs.

But enough about that I'm here to share with you some of the sofa's that I've been looking at and some of the rooms that have been my inspiration.  I am hooked on tufted sofa's, I think they are just beautiful and make any room look classy and elegant.  Mr ASL doesn't feel the same way, he doesn't like tufted sofa's at all. 

I have a vision of what I want our living room to look like.

I like that the first image has more of a retro take on the tufted sofa and I love the pops of yellow and gold. The second image is probably my favourite although I think I would change the art above the sofa to maybe some black and white equine art which is another thing I love right now.  

Mr ASL was a sweetheart and bought me a horse painting for Valentines Day. I love it so much and will share it with you when it's been framed.

The third image is more of a casual look and I could see myself snuggled up on that sofa with a good book.

The sofa's that I have been looking at for our living room are as follows

Chloe Sofa from Macy's

TJMax sofa from Jordans

Sofa from Decor Rest

My first preference is the Chloe sofa from Macy's I love everything about it and the price is fantastic but unfortunately they will not ship to Canada.  So I'm left to choose between option 2 and 3.  I like option 2 because it's a more modern take on the tufted sofa but in regards to comfort it's not quite there so that only leaves me with option 3 the sofa from Decor Rest.  While this sofa is not the tufted gem I had hoped for, it's very comfortable and Mr ASL has agreed that he can live with the small amount of tufting on the back.  I will be ordering it in gray. As  Mr ASL put it, this sofa has a little bit of what he likes and a little bit of what I like....the perfect compromise!

Which sofa would you choose?
