Enter Jonathan Louis, and their insanely comfortable, totally customizable selection of furniture. The sofa we chose, and customized for our space, is a classic, but modern chaise sofa with down-like, super plush cushions. We chose from their over 600+ fabric swatches, and eventually picked this ultra durable, textured material in a color called Cork Bar Sand. I love the swiss-dot effect that the fabric has! I know what you’re thinking, how could we possibly have chosen a light colored couch with three kids?! Here’s the deal, I have found that darker fabrics tend to show messes just as much, especially water marks which is the most common thing spilled on our furniture. It is more about the fabric itself, which is why we love this one because it is naturally stain-resistant & easy to clean, and has already proven itself against a blue m&m! 😉 We have made more of an effort to not let the kids run around with juices or crayons (which duh, we should have done a long time ago, just ask our walls & carpets). Because of our tall trees outside, our family room doesn’t get a ton of natural light, so for me, a light colored sofa is really the only way to go in terms of making the room feel bright & airy. I am excited to hunt down the perfect bold rug for the room next!
Our living room is long & narrow, and all about function, so we loved the idea of a chaise arm sofa because it took up so much less space than a full sized sectional. We also opted to get rid of our ottoman for the time being, which was basically being used as a trampoline, and with kids, floor space is so much more useful! Coffee tables (or anything with hard corners) are really out of the question for the next few years, so instead we opted for one of our small wooden tree stump tables to be brought into the room. We keep it tucked off to the side when the kids are running around, but can easily move it over to put our feet up or set drinks on once the kids are in bed. We love the way the couch cushions are wide enough for two people, and especially love the end chaise for snuggling! It really is the best seat in the house!

This might just be the cutest post yet! I love the couch you picked, I always dive right into the couches in zgallerie, they are so comfy!
Love love love! It looks so cozy!
Love this style couch! I just love your style period lol where is the picture and star garland from? Also is that the famous anthropology volcano candle? Lol
i love this and will definitely be keeping in mind. We are in desperate need of a new couch! Also, I know everyone thinks you and your girls are the cutest (and justifiably so), but I'm not sure your husband gets enough credit – Such a good looking couple! 😉
So cozy! And I'm loving the sectional you choose, we have a sectional too and it's the best!
I just love this space! I completely agree about not having a coffee table, my kids just jump on our ottoman but I refuse sharp corners. I always see blogs with perfect coffee table displays and candles or magazines set just right, but there is no way that is practical. Great pick and great socks!
Works great with your space. And I love, love, love that sign/art piece ♡♡♡
I love the look of the couch. It is beautiful.
Looks gorgeous! You're a brave woman though for getting a cloth couch!! I'm not sure it would survive in my house. 😉
It is gorgeous. I completely agree on light colored furniture, it makes the room lighter and the messes don't show up as badly as you would think. That fabric is beautiful!
This space looks so comfortable and functional! We are on the hunt for the perfect sectional for our basement. Furniture is one of the hardest things to pick when theres so many options! I also love that beautiful sign and your adorable stockings *heart eyes.
You guys are one darling family 🙂

I'm in LOVE! This couch looks amazing! And I LOVE the picture of your family!
Have a great Holiday season xo Andreanne Woodbury
Love the new look! And most importantly, that you already have your stockings up! 🙂 http://lessthanaverageheight.com/
Such a sweet post–love the cuddles, wine and Christmas stockings!! xx
Where did you get those stockings?????!?! LOVE them
Love it! Do you mind sharing where you got the star garland?
Beautiful! Love the fabric pattern and looks so comfy! I also have a white sofa upstairs in our media room and our friends think I am crazy for having white sofa. Its washable and is my favorite piece of furniture.
You know, you are so right! At first I was thinking, how could she get a light colored couch, but I almost think that's better! We have a chocolate brown couch and it's gotten SO dirty from yogurt stain, milk stain, water stain, you name it, my son has spilled it. I was thinking we wouldn't get a new couch for a few more years but maybe I need to look into this kind!
gorgeous friend!! wish i was snuggled up next to you drinking wine. wait. weird. miss you!!!!
Beautiful!! Where did you get the tree stump table!? I need!!

The room looks great, but I LOVE that sectional couch! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I love your style! Where did you get the R. Dahl sign?
Beautiful!! Where did you get the "Watch with Glittering Eyes" piece? I love it!!!
Jessica,
I'd love to know where you got your socks. They are super cute and look so comfy. I've also wondered where you get all your leggings, especially ones to sleep in. I'm only 5'2 and so most pajama pants are super long on me. I love how leggings don't drag the ground and get holes in the bottom of them but I can't seem to find any that are meant for sleeping. Or do you just buy regular leggings and sleep in those? Also, my daughter just turned 2 yesterday and she is really getting into dressing up. She loves dresses and tutus and jewelry but I can't find anything at the stores other than Disney Princess and that's not really what style I'm looking for. Where do you find all the girls' dress up clothes? With Christmas just around the corner I was hoping to get her some dress up stuff for Christmas.
what's the name of this couch style?
West Elm, if it's the same one that used to be in their nursery.

Pretty sure it's from West elm.
Where is the print from?? It's a beautiful sentiment….and so very true.
