And NO M&Ms Between the Seat Cushions!
Published on March 27, 2006 By Texas Wahine In Misc
Our couch was delivered today, and I'm so happy with it. It's big and comfy, although I think there will be a lot of fights over the chaise lounge/ottoman. The living room looks more like an actual living room and less like a room that we just threw random stuff into. We'll never be featured in Homes & Gardens, but our living room seems cozier and more put together now. And NO migrating couch covers!!

We hired a local guy to deliver the couch instead of the company that the furniture store on post uses. We bought the couch on Saturday and it's delivered and put together on Monday, so that's great. The other company would have taken nearly a week. This guy also carried off the leather couches and one of our old sofas, so we were able to get all that done today. He charged $80 for everything, which I feel was pretty fair. If we ever need help getting something to the house or having something taken to the dump again, we'll probably use him.

We haven't Scotchgard-ed the couch yet. We've got to test a spot to make sure it won't harm the couch, and then we'll probably Scotchgard it before we go to bed. It's probably not a great color for stains, but I think it will be ok.

Adrian and the boys are sacked out on it right now, playing Naruto on GameCube. So cute.

Here's what our couch looks like:





When the guys get done, I'm going to curl up on it with a blankie and a book!

I love fluffy, thick couches. They are so cozy and inviting no matter what the size. Congratulations....you can change diapers on the ottomon part!

Yeah, I'm psyched about it. And the color is nice. I almost took a pic of them, but Adrian didn't have a shirt on, so I decided against it.

It makes such a difference in the comfort level of the living room!

So true! We gotta meet up more often!

Thanks! We can all fit on it and stretch out. Perfect! Adrian's already claimed the ottoman, though. That's ok. When he goes to work I'll have it all to myself!

Tex,

Nice couch, good high backs and the chaise bit is great.

This is the sort of couch T and I want to get. We have two three seaters, in good condition but would gladly trade them for one with a chaise lounge attachment. I do fear we'd end up fighting over who gets the chaise bit, though.

Thanks. You know, it was one of the first we looked at. Then last Friday Adrian said we shouldn't just go with the first thing we see, we should look around. So we did. A lot. And this was still our favorite. None of the other various couches we saw came close.

If our reaction to this one is any indication, you guys would love it. I really like the shape of it. It's just almost a half square with the chaise lounge, and it really fills up the living room in a nice way. And hey, you guys can always snuggle together on chaise part!

I really appreciate that. You're such a "home guru" that your comment means a lot! I liked the color when I saw it at the store, but I wasn't completely sure how it would look in the house. I'm actually pretty pleased. Like I said, we won't be featured in Homes & Gardens, but it looks plenty nice to me!!

Yeah, that's the best thing about it I think. Last night we all climbed on and stretched out on it (Ice Age was on TV, haha, I love that movie!), and we fit perfectly.

Goes great in the room.


Thanks! I always question whether things I pick for the house are completely retarded and I'm the only one who thinks they look good, haha. I appreciate the reassurance!

Your first family movie night is going to ROCK! It looks great, Amanda and I love the corner couches.
