Ava

I have a sofa called Ava. I bought this sofa from Storehouse furniture back before they imploded but I did not buy the chairs that went with it because money doesn’t grow on trees. I still have the paperwork and upholstery sample somewhere in the house from the sofa but I don’t remember where it is. Today I discovered that the company which made the Ava sofa, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams is still around and making furniture. They don’t seem to make the sofa anymore but they still make the chairs.

They also make all kinds of other furniture including a pretty fantastic looking leather wingback chair called Gustave. I think that would be excellent for the study when I finish the shelves. I’m not sure a white leather chair would wear well but it would look pretty good in the room with the white bookshelves. I’m sure they’d be happy to put whatever color of cow on it I asked them to for a modest fee but the white struck me when I saw it.

I caught myself thinking it might be worth the trip down to Houston to go to the actual MG+BW store but then I remembered that Houston is actually terrible and that I have resolved to not drive there ever again unless forced to by cruel fate. The local Loft store carries some of the MG+BW furniture but not the chair. I believe they can order them though and they would almost certainly have the upholstery catalog and as a bonus I only have to drive into town and not into Hell.
