Yes, I'm talking about that one! 
I'm not often very lucky. When it comes to winning things, well, I just never do. I honestly can't think of a thing that I've ever won, well from a raffle or giveaway, or what-have-you. But that's exactly how this story starts, with a lucky win (by someone far luckier than me!)

You see, my beautiful living room sofa started life at the Kravet Furniture Showroom in New York.

New York City has a furniture mart, similar to High Point, open only to interior designers and shop owners. I've been invited to go several times, and I've never been able to make the trip work, but I know people who have gone, including a designer based in Rochester, New York, which is just an hour and a half or so away.

The New York show room for Kravet is filled with their finest furniture in all the fancy options. No expense is spared. They want you to buy the fabric and the furniture, so they put the most expensive of both on their showroom floor to inspire you, and to get you to spend money! It's the name of the game.
In their Houston showroom, they have the same Medley sofa done in a grey linen by Calvin Klein. It's lovely.

They've got it upholstered in velvet for the Denver showroom, mixed with greens and malachite. 

My sofa in the NYDC showroom, before Lucky McLucky got a hold of it, with yellow fringed pillows against a purple wall.

This one upholstered in velvet, with a skirt and contrasting cushion. Anyway, you get the point. Beautiful ...
