Grace + Kate

The August issue of the Anthropologie catalogue arrived in the mailbox a few weeks ago but I haven’t found any spare time to browse through it until yesterday evening. It’s no secret I like the company’s clothing line, sometimes whimsical but always romantic. But to be honest, I’ve never paid much attention to the company’s furniture line. On page 12 is a beautiful tufted leather sofa in a beautiful shade of rich saffron yellow – I immediately thought of Kate. She loves this color! Didn’t the Obamas furnish the White House with some pieces from Anthropologie? What’s good enough for Mr. & Mrs. President is definitely good enough for me. Here’s the delicious piece:

I love the tuft look but $6,000 for a sofa needs some pondering over. In the meantime, here are a three cheaper alternatives after the jump.

Azure Sofa from Crate & Barrel – custom upholstery available – starting at $1699 plus the firm is currently running a 25% off custom upholstery.

Mitchell Gold Chester 90″ Sofa - custom upholstery also available – $2000-$2300 for fabric and $3900-$4500 for leather (Price reflects a 20% discount the firm is currently running on custom upholstery) -> This is my favorite!

Another piece from Anthropologie – Milo Sofa – $2998
