SOFA $0 GOOD THEY ARE
CELEBRATING ALL MONTH LONG

Vancouver's __ hottest
little custom sofa shop
wants you _ sitting
comfortable, even
before you choose your
new sofa! How? By
taking the time to get to
know you. “We've
trained our crew to ask
questions so we make
sure our customers get
the best look they can
afford," says Barbara
and Paul Rasmussen of
Sofa So Good.

The recently opened
business, located at
7th and Cambie,
specializes in custom
sofas, chairs, love
seats and chaise.

"Not only is took
important," says
Barbara, who has a
background in fine art
and design and was
owner of Down Under
Bedding shop for 17
years. "We need to
know what room the
piece is going into and
what use it will have.
Are there pets and kids,
for example? You have
to consider the wear
factor if it is going into
the family room of a
busy household." -
With over 35 years
experience in the home
furnishings business
Barbara and Paul are
experts when it
comes to fabric and

upnoistery. "We want
to get it right for our
customers," says
Barbara, "because
when it works, it
sings!” With a
selection of 76 frames
and over 2600 fabrics,

the sky is the limit when
it comes to designing a
piece that is uniquely

yours.
Paul, who is the former
owner of Georgia
infertors, is recognized
as the best in the
industry for his
innovative fabric and
frame applications. "We
can create the look you
want for a price that is
based on your budget,"
says Paul. "And we
promise to get it right,"
adds Barbara. "Quality
contro! is our rumber
one emphasis. We are
so sure you'll be
satisfied we promise
you, if you are not
happy with the end
result, you can re-
select."

How can they be so
confident? "We have
high expectations of
our suppliers," says
Barbara of their seven

manufacturers, who are
located in Vancouver
and as far away as Los
‘Angeles and North
Carolina. And, just as
important, Sofa So
Good uses oversize
swatches that cover

half a sofa, so
customers easily get a
feel for the look they

want. “It's much more
elfective than working
with an 18 inch square."
Drop by Sofa So Good
with your design ideas,
spend some time and
have a coffee. Pull
some pictures and
bring those in too, says
Barbara. "If you would
like to brainstorm, we're
here, or if you prefer to
browse the store on
your own, that's great
too!" Adds Barbara, “If
you don't find
something ‘ight away,
come back soon. We
are always bringing
new designs and
fabrics into the store. If
there is something in
the warehouse we think
you would like, we'll
