White Sofas

I have been obsessing over white sofas.  I really want a pair of them for my family room.  Kind of like this…

Currently I have one oatmeal-y colored sofa and one beige-y colored sofa.  They are comfy, but ugly.  Some might even say fugly.  I’ve been planning to slipcover both of them in white, but this week’s shenanigans have me wondering if my family can handle that. 
So… a question for the moms out there (of boys especially)… do any of you have white furniture?  Is this a possibility, or a potential nightmare?
