A few months ago, I moved into a new apartment with NOTHING. My previous apartment, which I meticulously decorated, was being sold furnished. SO, I had the daunting, but thrilling, challenge of starting from scratch. YAY! at first, but hell after a few weeks of eating on a card table and living through construction.
I was on the hunt for a navy blue velvet couch. I needed it for my den/library and I needed it fast. There was no such product on the market, ready to buy and delivered in a week. I went to my local Ethan Allen one day not expecting to find much. The only sofa I liked in their whole store was the Avanti. I customized it with navy velvet and a white wood base. It came in 5 weeks! I was thrilled.
Excuse the lack of styling, I just ripped my sister off the couch to take this picture:
This morning I woke up to find this in my email:
It’s Jonathan Adler’s Butterfield Sofa, in Navy Velvet. $3,950.00. Finally someone is catching on to the luxury of a navy velvet. Yum. (Btw, my Ethan Allen cost half the price of the above.)
My favorite Jonathan Adler sofa (which I bought in Charcoal Velvet) is now being shown in “Hemp Artichoke”, but it would also be available in navy. The charcoal is also super chic.
Another similar option for a navy blue velvet sofa is the Room & Board Hutton 98″ Two-Cushion Sofa in Vance Indigo at $2,199.00. It looks a lot like Jonathan Adler’s Tempelton: 4 cushions over 2, and the third leg….
One of my inspiration pictures was this pic from the late and great Domino:

I just ordered the same sofa – in navy blue velvet. My inspiration came from the navy blue sofa in Sex in the City 2. Anyway,I was searching the net for decorating ideas and came across your photo. I’m interested in seeing how you accessorized the sofa/room. Please post updates – if you don’t mind.
