EVEN IN FLORENCE, SLIPCOVERED SOFAS

A good friend of mine just returned from spending 3 weeks in Italy. His friend lives in a 45 (!) bedroom villa, by himself. Needless to say, he doesn't use all the space he has. The room he does use a lot is the living/dining room. As soon as I saw the pictures, I said, "Look, he has slipcovers!"
I can't tell for sure, but the fabric looks an awful lot like a light blue denim. Even with fresco-painted walls and 20' ceilings, slipcovers are appropriate. I just love it.

Wonder if he'd even notice me moving in there? Something that big should not be for just one person! It really does look comfortable (and cavernous!) :)

If you have time, stop by "my place" and take part in my first ever "Silly Haiku Wednesday"! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

The slipcovers do rock..., and at night, I don't know, it must be a bit strange.
