I think I've found my new couch

A couple of more paydays and I'll be able to afford it.

I've been on the look-out for a new sofa for a while, as the one I have is 10 years old, not really all that comfortable, and slowly but surely starting to fall apart. I came across this one this afternoon, liked the look and feel of it, and wasn't immediately put off by the price tag. Now all I have to do is make my mind up about what colour I want (green, I think...or orange. Yellow, maybe?).

The more I think about it, the more I favour green as well...which is funny, as it's not my favourite colour, and all the rest of my furniture and furnishings is mostly cream, caramel and yellow...but I fancy a change and green could very well provide it!

Very nice! Looks comfy, and modern without being super trendy. I like the arm-rest pillow attachments.

My new (2006) sofa is this icon. They called it "charcoal", I call it "sage". Changing pillows or throws on this color changes the look a lot. After 10+ years of a narrow-stripe sofa upholstery (black-and-white that really looks blue) it's nice to have a calmer center piece of the room.

I like the arm-rest pillow attachments.

So do I; it's what drew me to this model. I want a couch that I can stretch out on, which I can't really do on my current one because the armrests go straight up.

I thought of you today. I was doing a clothing return for my mother, the shoe section was right there, boots were on sale, and I came home with a pair of brown leather knee length boots. Clearly, my wardrobe was in need of such a creature.

I am, of course, entirely in favour of new boots ;-)
