Where Are All The Leather Tufted Sofas?!

Hey there!  Hope everyone is having a fan-tab-u-lous weekend.  I've been a busy bee myself.  I've been working on a family room redo.  Not for myself, but for someone else, which is always fun!  We've been looking for tufted sofas in an ivory leather that sort of resembles a Chesterfield.  Not an easy find, especially if you're not in the mood to spend.. oh... let's say about $4000 buckeroos on  a sofa.  What the heck is up with that!  This is a picture of the sofa we had in mind.


Isn't she pretty!  But she doesn't come cheap!  It's a Whitaker sofa from Ethan Allen and believe it or not it is the least expensive one we've been able to find, and runs just a smidge under $4000 in leather for 102" length.  Has anyone seen one like this for less, if you have, give me a shout!!  Please, scream it from the mountain tops!
Here are a couple of drool worthy pictures of these pretty little babies!

So what do you think about tufted sofas like these?  Do you have one?  Ever gone looking for one?  Am I alone in my uphill battle of searching for the illusive reasonably priced leather tufted sofa???

  1. I have seen cheaper ones, but they're not in that beautiful white color. I think it's easier to find cheaper in trendier colors like grey (the current one). Like this one--http://www.westelm.com/products/chester-tufted-leather-sofa-g435/?pkey=csectional-sofas But it probably doesn't have the huge armroll you guys are looking for either and I like that you're not getting a sofa in a trendy color anyway :) Also I use to like the tufted sofa and headboard, but then I remembered my mother having that stuff when I was little (via seeing pictures) and all of a sudden I remembered all the stuff that easily collected into the tufts. I tend to want to stay away from things that need extra work to keep clean. Although with leather I guesss it can be easily wiped down.

    1. Hey Sandy! We actually went to look at the one West Elm has... but...it's tiny. : ( It was a cute look though.

  2. I saw something like that recently while browing the Macy's website for a leather sofa for my family room. I just checked again and they have something similar in a lot of different fabric choices. They run about $1,000 which is a lot less than $4,000. Good luck.

    1. Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out. Yes $1000 is way better than $4000 lol. Hope they have it in a light leather. Fingers crossed. Going to check now! :)

    2. Just found it... The Martha Stewart Saybridge... Oh so close... only comes in fabric... no leather option. DARN, but what a great price. On sale for $899.
      Ivory leather is not my friend!

  3. well, i wonder how many TUFTED LEATHER items you have looked at after a short time of use??? does not appear to wear that well for my taste. of course, this may just be one of those rooms that doesn't serve anything but eye candy???

  5. Hi Sammy!
    I too have been looking for a Chesterfield, which brought me to your blog. I have been in awe at your creativity. You have inspired me to begin my own rub and buff projects! I'm checking back in because I have just found a white leather chesterfield style sofa and wanted to let you know. Check out Modani.com. On sale and under $1000. Good luck! And PLEASE keep up the good work!!
