My friend and I went sofa shopping the other day, since she is moving into a new apartment and needs a new addition to the family room. We visited many stores including Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, The Container Store, and of course made a little pit-stop at LOFT. I really love this type of shopping – it’s so much fun looking at different designs, colors, and materials, and the way different pieces are laid out in the store to compliment each other. I’ve always thought I’d be a great interior designer. 😉 Afterwards, we headed over to a cupcake store for a little treat. Here are a few of my favorites from our little shopping venture.
Crate and Barrel
I loved the simplicity to these decorations – perfect for a summer home near the beach.

A few years back, I worked at a furniture store that sold pieces with these types of designs. It’s a little hard to see, but the design is of birds and branches. My friend Felicia wasn’t keen on this print, but I thought it was interesting. This is the type of piece I would use to add some contrast in a room.
Crate and Barrel
Felicia and I both loved this comforter. We are both big purple fans, and this is such a vibrant and pretty purple.
Crate and Barrel
Hello Manhattan! I love this look for a stylish, comfy, little apartment in the city. Black and White photographs are my favorite, and the flower in the picture is an orchid, which is by far my favorite flower.
Post Shopping Treat
What’s NOT to love about all these cupcakes?!
Do you have any suggestions for where Felicia could find a stylish yet affordable sofa?
