Back in April 2017, when we were first handed the keys to this house, it went something like this…
Paint everything possible in the living room, breakfast nook, and dining room. Haul a million boxes into random rooms hoping they land in the right places…
And, oh yeah, buy a sofa. Check!
I’ve mentioned before that we really did like our IKEA Farlov considering the relatively inexpensive price tag.
But one grievance I had was washing the slipcover. Seriously, I have a hard enough time staying on top of the regular laundry around here, and while slipcovers do have their perks, it got real old real fast.
So when Modsy asked me if I’d like to share a pet/kid-friendly sofa from their new Minna Home line, plus give one away to one of y’all, my thought immediately was, “I don’t have to wash a slipcover ever again! Freedom!”
I’ve shared Modsy with y’all before when we were stuck on our breakfast nook’s awkward layout and their design service helped see its potential. (We’re currently wrapping up that little makeover next week!)
The great thing about the Minna Home line is that you can upload photos of your space onto the Modsy website and see exactly what it will look like in your home. So we were able to see our new sofa in action before it arrived at our house.
I sometimes get commitment issues with big furniture purchases, so I love having that feature.
And now here’s the new look!
We ended up going with the Remy sofa in Dawson Platinum. It’s the perfect medium neutral gray without having any weird undertones.
The fabric is super durable, easy to clean, and meant to stand up against all of the messes from kids and pets. And they’re custom made in the U.S. using eco-friendly materials.
The Minna Home line has 7 other styles along with chair options too. It was a close call between our Remy and the Cybil sofa for us.
From now through August, you can use the coupon code LAUREN20 to get 20% off of your order.

What do you think of this living room’s new look now?!
The longer that we’re in this house, the more I get a feel for the direction of our style. I’m just glad our kiddos can still be their rough and tough selves, and I won’t have to wrestle slipcovers anymore. Woot!

July 10, 2019 at 12:56 pmThis sofa completes the room in a big way! I have not replaced my sofa in 16 years and now the link to Modsy and the Minna line will hopefully bring me into the current decade! I can’t wait to see their sofas in my space before ordering!! Thanks a million!

July 10, 2019 at 1:06 pmIt looks fantastic. I love the sofas with legs but I have a “flop onto the couch” husband. I’m wondering how they hold up.

How do we enter the giveaway? Do we need to comment on Instagram?

Barbara says
July 10, 2019 at 3:54 pmBeautiful couch and room! My inherited white couch is turning a cafe latte shade, thanks to our dog. Don’t have the heart to say no as he’s lost his recliner and his “sister” recently. Thank you for sharing your great ideas and resources!

July 10, 2019 at 8:09 pmOur fur babies tend to get the luxuries of the family. Our fur baby certainly is considered in our furniture decisions. 🙂
Kate Thompson says
July 10, 2019 at 3:55 pmOkay, I LOVE YOUR ROOM!!! And what an encouraging reminder – that your house and style take time to develop, and that’s okay. With four kids under the age of eight, and one of whom who is special-needs, sometimes I feel like my style will never get developed, because I can never finish a project! Having said that, I would love, love, love to have a new couch! Pick me 🙂
Gerri Hagen says
July 10, 2019 at 6:08 pmI am in love with your beautiful new sofa and your sweet little pooch sleeping on it! Btw, I think that sofa might be just what I’m looking for to replace our boring brown leather sofa! I love what your doing with your new home and it’s so fun to watch your style unfold! 💕
Lauren says
July 10, 2019 at 8:05 pmThank you, Gerri!! You are so sweet to say so.
Liz says
July 10, 2019 at 6:45 pmBeautiful! I love it all. Would you be able to share your source for the rug and coffee table, too? Love your style. Thank you!
Lauren says
July 10, 2019 at 8:04 pmThank you! Absolutely!! Here is the coffee table https://rstyle.me/~aTETs and here is the rug https://rstyle.me/~aTETs . You are most welcome!!

Kelly says
July 10, 2019 at 8:21 pmI always wondered about having the white couches with slipcovers. I think your room looks so pretty. Where are your pillows from?
Lauren says
July 10, 2019 at 11:21 pmI liked the white sofa too BUT our plan was always to upgrade eventually. I still love it as a lower budget option. Slipcovers are good (a pain to wash but good), but kid-friendly fabric is better. 😉
Tracey Tillson says
July 11, 2019 at 9:22 amI’m wondering about the “cat-friendly” fabrics. Does this mean they won’t shred by Floofy’s claws?
Debra says
July 11, 2019 at 2:50 pmWhat a nice thing to do. Sometimes it’s frustrating to see someone else get a free item that you really need and have to pay for. Even if odds are low, at least there is a chance to win. Thank you.
