I've come to the conclusion that I need to stop subjecting my seating to the atrocities of life as a twenty-something (and yes, I am still a twenty-something). I came to said conclusion while standing in front of my white sofa last week and having an inner battle as to whether or not I actually wanted to sit on it. You see, my white, [semi]virginal sofa has tolerated things like this:
An infinite amount of stains, whose origins are totally untraceable, now mark her from head to toe as well as a previous cushion dismemberment thanks to one of my beloved four legged children, white sofa's days were numbered, and I knew it.
So.... I bought a sofa. Meet Henry. Dove Grey, performance velvet, mid- century realness.
1. Scale- Make sure it fits. You really want to make sure it's not too big, or too small. Oh, and make sure you can get it up the stairs and through the front door.
2. Function- Select an upholstery that will suit your lifestyle. Henry is a "performance velvet", which is a fancy term for polyester. make sure the upholstery you select will clean and wear well. you'll thank me later.
3. Maintenance- First thing I did after carrying Henry over the threshold? Scotch Guarded the shit out of him. Preventative measures, homies.
Homeboy.

Hey Howdairyyou! Scotch guard is very effective when it comes to repelling stains and overall dirt and grime, and I highly recommend it. Would I suggest recklessly drowning your sorrows while sitting on your sofa, however? No. Take a seat in your nedroom closet like the rest of us.
