You know I am all about my house.
I would marry it in a nanosecond if I wasn’t already in love with a twinkling brown-eyed Angry Lemon.
But even houses that you adore have challenges.
Just. Like. Mine.
At the top of the stairs there’s a landing with built-ins that stand at the entrance of the room that no one really knew what to do with.
I’ve tried so many different things and nothing took.
I tried to make it into a craft room.
I tried to make it into a game room.
I tried to make it into an extension of the hallway.
All of those worked for a while and then the room started collecting things and spare parts and random pieces of life.
I had almost given up hope.
Until.
Until this happened.
This sofa.
I know, right?
Please tell me this isn’t the coziest space you have ever seen.
Even Buddy has figured it out.
We ordered this couch online from Rooms To Go.
Have you ever ordered furniture online before?
It is SO MUCH EASIER THAN YOU THINK.
Especially if you are ordering from a website like Rooms To Go.
Here’s the step-by-step on how I found this amazing couch on the Rooms To Go Website.
First, I went to the main page and searched for couches.
Then I added different filters to make my search easier.
I knew I wanted a beige couch, so I added that filter and 28 different results popped up next.
I found a couple of options that I liked.
These two were in the running.
And then?
I found this one.
The Cindy Crawford Bellingham Sand Textured Sofa.
Look at those arms.
Look at the color.
It even came with two coordinating pillows.
And in amazing news? It’s on SALE right now as part of Rooms To Go 30th anniversary sale.
Yep.
That’s right. Rooms to Go is celebrating 30 amazing, incredible years in business just in time for me to find my new favorite sofa on sale.
The last thing I did was check the measurements.
I only had 96″ between the bookcases, so I wanted to make sure the width and the depth and the height would work in the space.
Everything fit perfectly, so I placed the order.
And waited.
Until.
Until a little over a week later, this truck showed up in my driveway.
It was seriously the EASIEST WAY to order furniture and my favorite thing about this entire process?
They delivered it right to the house.
No hassle.
No fuss.
Just an amazing truck with my couch and an incredible rug and two awesome end tables.
Look at the texture on that couch.
Isn’t it amazing?
And the color is PERFECT for the new room.
I was going to go with a coffee table, but because the room is a walkway between the other bedrooms on either side, I opted for these spool side tables.
They are perfect for moving from side to side or putting my computer on or having coffee in the morning or holding books I’m waiting to read.
Here’s the little box I keep the remote in when it’s not in use.
Taking the coffee table out of the room also left room for two larger chairs and there was space to hang the television on the wall.
Another fun purpose for the room.
And I wish you could feel this rug.
It’s so thick and cozy and my toes sink into it when you walk.
You can see the thickness here in this picture.
It’s has a light cream background (to hide dirt better than white) with a gray trellis pattern.
I love how it warms up the space and brings the entire room together.
And the room that no one knew what to do with?
It’s the most popular place in town and it’s my new favorite room.
There’s space for all the people and all the friends.
Especially dogs named Buddy. 🙂

I love it! I'm scared to order furniture online. I want to see it and sit on it and feel the texture of the fabric.
That’s why I don’t order furniture that you sit on online. I want to feel and sit to see if it’s cozy. My husband and i have to different cozy opinions. I’m a foot shorter and like to touch the floor, and he likes a stiffer back. I guess it’s a lot of good reviews.
Did you have the option of getting the Crypton fabric? I need that.
Looks gorgeous!
Love how the room turned out!! Would you mind telling me where the two pretty floral prints are from?
Great room ... looks so comfy and inviting ... and simply amazing with Buddy too ! Jayne
Looks great! Cozy and casual and just perfect with Buddy! I'd probably lay down on that comfy rug with him:)
I have this sofa and matching loveseat, in the sleeper version, in my Florida condo! I’ve had them about 5 years and they still look like new. They provide extra beds when the kids and grandkids come down to visit. I have several things from Rooms to Go that I ordered online, sight unseen. Super easy ordering and delivery! Rooms to Go is great! Congratulations on your new sofa, Karianne!
It's always good to hear comments from someone who has had an item for several years. Sleeper sofas are a necessity in my small house for guest beds--thanks for mentioning this!
I have my kettle on for tea and I'll be over with my book to lounge all day in this beautiful space. It's just perfect!!
So cozy, inviting, and calm! This is the perfect room tucked away in the perfect spot. I would be in here for hours reading books and sipping tea! Could you tell me, please, where you purchased your prints, specifically the picture frames? Thanks KariAnne.😊
could you sketch out the floor plan of this room? I'm not quite getting the cross traffic issue since it looks like a dead (but cozy) end in the photos. I'd want that room in a heart beat. But I do have my own cozy spot with a couch, windows and big bookshelves. My definition of happiness.
Patricia, Let me visually sketch it for you! It's a 15" x 15" square room. I gave a mini tour on my Instagram stories today if you want to take a tour! There are doors right on either side of the bookcases. One goes to my office, the other to a bedroom. Directly across from the couch there's a door that leads out to the landing! You can see it in the second picture! So there are doors on three walls! Does that make sense? That's why I couldn't put a coffee table because it's a traffic walkway! happy day!KariAnne
BEAUTIFUL sofa!!!! LOVE the fabric and style and how it fits so perfectly there. How does it feel when you sit on it? It looks pretty firm.
It is pretty firm---but cozy. Does that make sense? I don't like sofas where I sink because I'm so short! I LOVE IT so much! I laid down on it and took a nap! Happy day! KariAnne
I’m just curious how your family used that room when you were growing up in that house. Love the new sofa and rug, Love seeing Buddy.
Vallerie, That is SUCH a great question! We had five kids so it was used as a hang out room and then it was my room when I came home from college! happy day!KariAnne
Soooo perfect!!!! What a great room to slip away for a quiet nap, if you get one, and to read or just to visit for privacy from the family if need be. I love it all. Buddy always let you know when it is right. !!!
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Your room is beautiful!!!! Thank you so much for the link to Rooms To Go! I really like their furniture and it is so nice to have a recommendation!!!!! Laura xox
I can't seem to find the little white table with the link... were they also from rooms to go? looks great!
I too can’t seem to find the table? Thanks in advance
Eileen, Here's the link to the table: https://www.roomstogo.com/furniture/product/siran-white-accent-table/26027967 I'm so sorry for the confusion! happy day!KariAnne
It’s ALL just gorgeous KariAnne! Looks like a perfect spot to curl up with a good book & a cup of coffee ☕️ 📚 Enjoy!
I love it. There is nothing better than a crazy sofa to curl up on to read a book and have a cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy
Well done KariAnne! I love the couch and the side tables are adorable. Another pretty space you’ve made!
Love those spool tables! And your comment about the box for the remote reminded me that I spend a ridiculously long time searching for just the right basket to hold our remotes. Probably as long as I spent deciding on a couch (which I also ordered online)!
Your room looks really pretty and cozy. Buddy thinks so too. He's so adorable. Thanks for showing him !
I love your new cozy room:) I really LOVE the spool side tables. Do they have a model # or specific name? I can't seem to find them. I clicked on the link and it takes me to the general Rooms To Go page. I search "spool side tables" and all kinds of tables come up.
Beth, Here's the link to the table: https://www.roomstogo.com/furniture/product/siran-white-accent-table/26027967 I'm so sorry for the confusion! happy day!KariAnne
Sometimes it takes awhile to figure out what would work best and then when you finally figure it out-IT IS YOUR FAVORITE! Nicely done.
I found the spool tables under Living Room Accent Tables on the Rooms to go site. They come in many colours, including white. Johanna B.
Sorry, I found the spool tables under Home Decor, Accent Tables, not the Living Room category, as mentioned in my first post. Hope this helps. I think they are very pretty tables and are perfect for the spot that Karianne has used them. Accent tables are always so handy.
Your timing is perfect! I have been looking for a sofa to replace my torn and tattered beloved floral sofa. I could never find anything I liked in person, but was nervous to order online. Your description is amazing and the comments have been super helpful...off to measure since I have my eye on the Cindy Crawford Beachside Walk denim sofa. Thanks for sharing!
It's a lovely spot to hide out in, when your kids are downstairs with their friends. I love that sofa not to soft but just right. Have a great weekend.
I love this, KariAnne. The couch, those cute tables...and I love the light, too! Where did you find the light? Love it!
I was unable to bring the sofa up in a cart, and the price was much more than $855.
Judy, The sofa is actually $645 right now on sale! Here's the direct link: https://www.roomstogo.com/furniture/product/cindy-crawford-home-bellingham-sand-textured-sofa/1013712P Let me know if you have any questions! Happy day! KariAnne
Oh, the couch, tables and rug, plus all of the accessories...What’s not to love!
Winner, winner, gotta Pin-her! Love the whole room and the thought that went into the design. Keep us posted on the comfort of the couch as we are looking for a snuggle space! If you have a link for the cute cane box, please share it. It's so cute...and so are you with your fitness achievements.
May I sit down and have some tea in there? It looks great and Buddy sets it off perfectly.
Oh, I want it all! It's gorgeous! That sofa and that rug and the tables and Buddy ;) You create the most beautiful spaces KariAnne!
What a great way to use the space and it is so welcoming. I checked the website and could not find where the furniture was made. I only buy American made so that might be a limitation for me.
I can’t seem to find the rug? Thanks for any help! I absolutely love the whole space! Lisa
Lisa, Here's the direct link to the rug: https://www.roomstogo.com/furniture/product/alicia-ivory-5-1-x-7-6-rug/95028013 Happy day! KariAnne
Oh, wow! It looks so comfy and cozy. Another great project. Love it! 😁❤
What a great room to have between the two bedrooms...so comfy and cozy!!! xoxo
As always, everything so beautiful, clean, and inviting. I like many of your followers, must be able to sit on the sofa. To see how the pillows hold up in the back. Do the sofa sit high or very low to the floor. Is it to side or to hard? So many things I must checkout in person, since selecting a side for our family usually is somewhat pricey, because it must last a very long time. Thanks for posting
Can you visit that room again and let us see the TV wall and the angle of the chairs from the front?
