we're the proud parents...

Of a beautiful baby named Petrie.





Remember in this post when I raved about my love for this sofa from The Breakup? That movie came out in June of '06, and I've been drooling over that sofa ever since. I love the combined look of midcentury and modern, I love the tufted cushions, and I love the thin armrests and legs. 


I tried for a while to figure out who made the sofa, and the only thing I could find was the Stylus sofa. The very helpful fourth door pointed me in the right direction, and it's actually the Petrie Sofa from Crate & Barrel. It's named after Rob and Laura Petrie from the Dick Van Dyke Show. Isn't that cute? The C&B Petrie sofa has not only been in The Breakup, but also Lipstick Jungle and Brothers and Sisters.

after!

It makes a huge difference in the room, and I am still pinching myself because I can't believe that it's really ours to keep:) I was going to save this post until Monday, but I just couldn't wait!


If anyone needs me and Jemima, we'll just be lounging about glamorously on our glamorous new sofa.
