Couches
I know I'm a post whore today.
We're looking at some furniture pieces. I think I like this couch. We have a printed chair with sage, burgundy and rose tones and a chaise with coffee, sage and rose tones, so we want something solid. What do you think of this couch?

[QUOTE]oh, and to answer your OP- I like it! But I wouldn't buy a couch until I went to the store and actually sat (and stretched out) on it. :)

That's the plan for tonight, Steph.
Also, does anyone know anything about microfiber? I know it's supposed to be durable.

<div>VERY. At least in my experience at home. My mom has a set of microfiber couches, and loves them. She's got two cats, a dog, and two teenage boys. I think she's had them for 3-4 years and they look brand new.</div>

But I do think it is very pretty. And mircro fiber I think you can scotch gard too for extra protection.
I'm looking for a nice chair with footstool myself. I've been looking forever.
At least, ours does. We haven't actually shampooed the entire thing because we're lazy, but it still has spots from when my dad did it (it was his couch, we got it for free). That being said, it is easier to clean up messes because it wipes off easier. Whisky barfed all over ours and all you can see is a light water stain if you know where to look.
It looks nice, but I personally need a couch with a higher arm rest so I can lean against the arm and stretch my legs out. The couch looks more like a sitting room sofa and not something to curl up on like I do when I watch TV. The arms and back on my couch are the same height to put into perspective what I'm talking about. Our couches and cocktail ottoman are microfiber, it wears nicely and beads away moisture if you ever have any spills which is fantastic!
[QUOTE]I actually hate our microfiber couch. Well, I love it in that it's super comfy, but hate that it's so damn hard to clean. It's a light color, and it shows everything. If I take a shower and my hair drips on it, it gets water spots. You can't really wipe up a spot without getting water spots because it dries weird. The only way to clean it is to shampoo the entire thing, and if you don't suck out all the water it gets weird black spots. At least, ours does.

Slipcover. You're welcome :P

I know. I've been meaning to look into them. It wasn't that big a deal at first, but with Whisky getting sick it's been worse. We just have blankets on it now and thankfully he decided to spend most of his time on the floor now.

Bed Bath and Beyond has some really nice ones. You have to watch for when they go on sale.
Right now we have a reclining sectional, so slipcovers aren't an option for us. I'd love to be able to switch up the colors every few months
But I do like the look of the first one you posted.
Couch and chair in the FR, and DH will be getting another for his office after the reno is done.
This is why I want my "OWN" chair and ottoman.
ETA: I like the sage best.

You know I just knew "you" would have something to say about that!
But once again, takes one to know one!

If I had that couch I'm pretty sure I'd never sleep in our bed again. I love sleeping on couches and that one looks so comfy. I'd never leave.
[QUOTE]I like that couch, Jen. I just think it'd be way too big for the space.

That's the beauty of a sectional. You can mix and match the pieces to get the perfect fit. You can make it bigger or smaller, whaetver you need

Story of my life Amber....true story!
[QUOTE]Ahem ..... it's plenty big thankyouverymuch
Posted by JenGin74[/QUOTE]
Well I didnt mean it that way....so just take a moment and think about it.
Case in point, conversation with DH:
Me: That thing is huge!
DH: I got something huge for you baby!
Me: seriously?
Me: Aw, I always liked Peter (watching Fringe)
DH: I know you do baby.
This continues on for years!
