Real Simple Magazine published an article in their August 2011 issue on six affordable classic sofas. It got me thinking about a few of the sofas I have my eye one.

I am in love with the one pictured above. It is the Pierre Sofa from Z Gallerie. I just adore the green! It's hard to tell in this photo, but there is beautiful silver nail head trim along the arms and the base. Doesn't it look comfy? I think I could definitely sink into it. The sofa is made in North California and is $1200.00. I don't know about you, but when purchasing an upholstered piece, I really perfer those made in North America.

Another pretty one with nail head trim. This is the Griffin Sofa from Ballard Designs. I love the narrow arm and clean lines on this traditional sofa. The front legs are tapered and are finished with antique brass casters. Price starts at $1099.00.

This is the Barrington Sofa from Crate & Barrel. Again, narrow arm and nail head trim. I think I see a trend here? Clean lines and I think it would be pretty hard to get tired of this pretty sofa. On special right now for $1444.15.

Above is the Eugene Sofa from Room & Board. I love Room & Board - great quality and well made pieces. This sofa is obviously more contemporary but still has a classic feel to it to me. Sort of a mid-century modern vibe. I like it. $1199.00

This might just be my favorite one - I've had my eyes on this for a while. It's the Loring from Room & Board. So simple and classic. I think I could live with this for a very long time and be quite happy.

Then again, this looks pretty darn comfy. And I love it in this darker color! This is the Lounge Sofa from Crate & Barrel. It is made in North Carolina out of a certified sustainable, kiln-dried hardwood frame. Looks so comfortable! Great price too - On special right now for $1359.15

This sofa is from Lee Industries. No name on their site, just #1011-03. What pretty and graceful lines on this one - I love it!

Another one from Lee Industries. No name, just 3012-03. I really like the lower arms and how it looks like they curve around from the back.

Shopping for a new sofa isn't easy. It's one of the most expensive furniture purchases most of us will ever make. I'm pretty sure selecting upholstery for a sofa is enough to send some people into a panic! Do you have a favorite? Is there a sofa you have your eyes on?

Happy Friday! I am on my way to the Windy City...Chicago!
