One of the few new pieces purchased for the apartment, the Mitchell Gold love seat in classic ticking satisfies one of Suzanne’s criteria--potentially, it can last a lifetime. “It’s great right now as this small living room’s main seating, but when Lauren gets older and moves, it will have new life in a master bedroom at the foot of the bed, or in a sunroom or breakfast nook,” Suzanne forecasts. Beyond the piece’s versatile scale, what ensures its lasting attraction? “Comfort,” Suzanne assures. “It’s extra-deep.”
Another “good bones” piece is the bold yellow lamp, which they found caked in dust at a flea market. “It adds the perfect pop of color,” Lauren says.
