Lauren And Suzanne McGrath From 'Good Bones, Great Pieces' Share Some Of Their Favorite Things

In celebration of the launch of Society Social's twelve new sofas, I invited an incredible group of designers to style out one classic white sofa. White furniture may seem scary to most, but choosing a neutral backdrop allows for endless possibilities when it comes to accessorizing.

Each designer brought his or her own unique perspective to the project and it was intriguing to see the sofa transform so distinctly, yet so easily, with just a few simple changes! I sat down with all of the designers to learn about their personal style, background and process. I'm happy to share my interview with the talented Lauren and Suzanne McGrath from Good Bones, Great Pieces and their picks for the sofa.
