The Pièce de Résistance

One of my most expensive purchases was a 7-foot couch that I customed from Alisia Home in Plaza Damas. Inas, the owner, makes the most beautiful pieces and if you are stuck with ideas, visit her shop for a jolt of inspiration. Inas helped me select a Latimer model à la Tricia Guild in Fuchsia Oxford Cotton, complete with castors (wheels) and feather cushions.


I had a much more affordable sofa in my old apartment. It looked fine except that the cushion wore thinner quite noticeably after a few months. The fabric shrank after I washed it and the cushions moved about like jack-rabbits whenever someone heavier than 60kg tried to get comfortable. Moral of the story: Don't stinge on your sofa.
