Plus I think better to a sofa that is a little shorter 83" (108" is really big) and better to add an additional chair than to buy a sofa too big and be limited in your room options! just my opinion.<br />(speaking as someone who bought their living room set when I lived with a bigger living room and had to cram it into my current smaller livingroom!)carol@cabinetstewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03583480387943412249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-4645822254067686632010-11-15T04:43:27.260-08:002010-11-15T04:43:27.260-08:00I KNOW KELLEY!!!

I dream about our next couch and am determined to stick to my guns in regards to it being white and slip-covered! Have you ever been to a person's place and they have recently purchased a whole lounge suite but they still have the old one in the same room??? I can't help but think get rid of the damn thing already!!! It's not like it's helping the look of the new one....I thought it was an interesting view point that you don't really like chunky arms on the couch...I don't mind them. With the pictures of the new couches, to be honest I hope you didn't pick the couch with one seat cushion right across, didn't like that one at all. The others are alot nicer. I also think with a couch and to keep in mind (not that I'm an expert!!) is how it's going to look after a persons sat on it and gets up off it. For me personally, I don't think I would like a real rumpled one where it all looks sad and saggy, I think that would drive me nuts, but with the pictures above I think they would hold their shape really well. Can't wait to see which one you have ordered.<br />Hope you're having a great start to your week.<br />Take care<br />Janine<br />XXOO<br />Tasmania, AustraliaJanine Marshallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-12856279528166073922010-11-14T21:02:41.200-08:002010-11-14T21:02:41.200-08:00Love the looks on # 2 & # 4!!

But alas, we wallowed all over it for years and wore the thing out. We literally looked for three years for another one. Bought an uber expensive one at Ethan Allen. It looks good but still didn't have everything we wanted. I have no idea which one you picked but I like #2 due to the low arms and the fact that it looks comfy.Nancy Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03601303486507106045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-48058816009480737042010-11-14T10:40:03.768-08:002010-11-14T10:40:03.768-08:00I'm going through this right now...our wonderf...I'm going through this right now...our wonderful sofa has finally died...a natural death from teenage boys, adult(?) men, dogs, wrestling matches(wink wink) and more.

Most the time, I am over joyed at needing something for my home, but not a sofa! I was thinking about the two dogs...ect everything you said lol As for my guess, I am going to guess you got the 2nd one from Crate and Barrel, but you could not go wrong with any of them.

Based on your comment with additional information, I'm going with #1. It has a great price point, looks good, and if it is one of their quick ship items you'll have it fairly quickly. Plus the eco friendly factor. Seems to be right up your alley.<br /><br />What a fun post! I get major anxiety when buying a new sofa. I loose sleep over it. I think it is because 1. they cost so much money and 2. I have never actually bought a sofa that I love. I think I'm going to love it and then it arrives 12 weeks later and I hate it. My last purchase was a sectional and I swore it was the one. The one I was going to have forever. It is awful. I wish my dog would chew it up so I could justify buying a new one!<br /><br />Smiles,<br /><br />AmberRun Baby Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11599929775953613088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-75060439516602404972010-11-13T08:16:04.905-08:002010-11-13T08:16:04.905-08:00I think you went with # 1 or 2 based on your space...I think you went with # 1 or 2 based on your space!!
