POTTERY BARN HIGH PERFORMANCE SOFA REVIEW || BEST WHITE COUCH || HOME UPDATES || HOME DECOR 

Oh my, your home decor ideas are so similar to mine, this video is definitely very helpful! your video confirms a bunch of my fears. I feel for you as I’m sure that you’re disappointed with how this fabric turned out to be, very high maintenance. I feel like salespeople market these fabrics as so easy to take care of, so you don’t have to worry, but although they are cleanable and can withstand damage, it’s a lot of work for us! The pilling on the fabric is ridiculous at the price you had to pay. Now I’m considering going leather, although my feeling about the look of my home is exactly like yours, I want the soft look of light coloured fabric, the versatility of this look, the softness of the fabric vs slippery leather. And leather couches are so expensive, it’s almost worth it to buy slipcovered fabric sofas and get new covers every couple of years. The only option I would consider for fabrics is performance velvet. I had a PB sectional in it and it was amazing! Easy to clean, super cozy and soft, no pilling, and cat can’t claw through them. So for me, it’s velvet vs leather. One thing to consider is that all the performance fabrics are coated in water and stain repellant and it gradually washes off as you spot clean and machine wash your sofa. This happened to mine, but because it was grey, the sofa looked pretty clean. Best of luck with your beautiful home! I’m looking forward to watching your fireplace video, I’m begging my husband to DIY an ethanol version .

I use an electric clothing shaver on my couch all the time…works great!

I’m a new subscriber ❤ I seen this sofa in person today in the mocha brown shade at my local pottery barn an instantly fell in love 🥰 such a beautiful sectional.

Thank you for the honest review. We will be getting this couch, but slipcovered. With dogs I want to be able to wash all of it. 😆 I am OCD about things too and just have to realize nothing is perfect. It will definitely be better than my garbage Ashley Furniture sectional.

I think the while couch is a trend right now. I have no kids and no pets, so not an issue, But decided on Pottery Barn Carmel deep sofa w/double chaise in Smoke color Everyday velvet. GET IT! AMAZING!

Beautiful! You're doing such a great job wow!

Oh my… you do have a lot of projects going on. It’ll all be worth it once it’s complete. 😅 I’m excited for the kitchen project. That sounds amazing. The half bath looks good. I like the trim color now vs the darker wood. The vintage door you want to get to close off the room I’m not sure about. That looks like a piece that would be great for a pantry door. The room looks nice open and airy. I’m sure whatever you decide will turn out great.

Great idea to add an access door on your custom shelving on your fireplace!!! I just wanted to offer my experience with washing my slip covered RH cloud sectional. I bought a WHITE performance fabric one three years ago -bleachable- (as per websight) cleanable - no worries. Living on a farm with kids,dogs, cats and a husband (lol) I thought it was a sensible choice 🤣🙄. I had buyers remorse within a year. After a phone call to RH I discovered that “washing perennial performance fabrics may reduce the effectiveness of the soil- resistant finish”. May reduce= definitely reduced. I’m now in a position to buy replacement covers ($10k CAN +) or a new couch or live with an uncleanable dirty white one 😭😭 You might not have the same experience, I hope you don’t, but just in case maybe look into it.

You’ve got a beautiful home!

So happy I found your channel because same interior design style inspos! Also, nothing with wanting to do too many things at once! 😂😂😂 Subscribed! Love the kitchen idea btw

The black room… did you watch House of Valentina? Her dark spaces are so tempting 😅 One advice I want to give you, since I feel like your thinking is so much like mine, focus on one thing only at a time. Just one thing. Make decisions on one thing and see it through and then move on to the next thing.

Hi Brittany I think the black door will 1-ground the room 2-add beauty plus interest and 3-create drama. I see no downside. Once it's in you may have to repeat the black somewhere else for balance. I watched your swatch video as I am buying a York sofa and found it informative. Thanks Kathy

Can't blame you about being neurotic regarding your light sofa. I just purchased a feather down filled sofa from CB2 and I've only sat on it ONCE. LOL. I will relax eventually and chill on it. Enjoying your videos Brittany. 👍🏽

You have a beautiful home. After watching you with the cushions…I think I’m leaning towards leather. Just so much work.

This was super helpful!!! Thank you sooooo much. Ordered my swatches of the two fabrics you were thinking of. Ok for the doors, love the idea love the look of the black but with all the glass panes. I think it was the left one of the three you showed.

the rub is beautiful too, you've got me considering getting it for my living room. is it itchy at all, as there's wool in it? I had the west elm wool souk rug and my kids found it itchy and scratchy on their bodies when they lay on it or sat in shorts, even though it feels plush underfoot.

May I ask the color and name of your wood floors

What about the back pillows? How are they holding up? And the bench cushion. How is that holding up?

Your Home is wonderful😊❤

I’m trying to find a comfortable couch for a small space I have Pottery Barn Cameron and it’s just not that comfortable not deep enough. What do you suggest?

Hi Olivia! Is this the deep version of the Big Sur or is this just the regular depth one? Thank you!!

Brittany I just ordered my sofa PB comfort in Dove Heathered Basketweave with downblend on the recommendation of a manager at Pottery Barn . Is that the same as yours? Love your home it is beautiful👏🏻

What sofa is this? Is it the union?

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THAK YOU................def darker color like oatmeal? I really appreciate this video.

Love your house! Where did you get the rug? It is beautiful.

What color are Couch would you have gotten if you were to do it over again?

Thanks for the info on the clearer for the sofa. I can use it. NEW SUB🔔

Biggest mistake most people make when hanging their flat screen TV on the wall is hanging it too high so that you have to look up straining the neck while on the couch. The TV should be at eye level from a sitting position.

@brittanywalker what detergent do you use when you wash the cushion covers? I can still see some dirt after the Folex

I am trying to find a sofa now. Had to leather sofa express sofas that lasted 20 years. Frames still excellent and cushions still holding up because of built in springs. Just time to change colors. Now looking and hard to find good quality. Was looking at RH but then will not disclose how frames are made and most cusions just barely stuffed. Do you have any brand recommendations?

I love the door idea. But are you really going to get rid of all that cabinet space? Your idea looks beautiful, but where is the stuff you are storing in those cabinets going to go? Are you expanding the pantry?

Do your dogs like to dig in the couch or pillows? My papillon is driving me crazy she ruined our newer couch and pillows

where are your bar stools from?

Meant to be because I just saw the video of you buying the couch. Thanks!!

The pilling would drive me nuts. I hate that. It’s the synthetic fibers that do that. Natural cotton doesn’t. I’d get a sofa that’s slipcovered if I wanted a light color. If you use the sofa, it’s going to get dirty. Dirty sofa’s are like dirty carpet… looks like crap.

Girl bye!! Those couches are 5 grand!!!
