Picking out our first couch
I love my couch; it’s the first real piece of living room furniture that I’ve bought myself, I’m used to used furniture, especially hand-me-downs. When my boyfriend and I moved in together, we decided that we wanted to buy a brand new one. Our old house had 2 love seats in the living room, which is fine, but you can’t stretch out on a loveseat. We were tired of feeling cramped; we wanted a couch we could lie down on comfortably while still matching with the rest of our living room furniture. The one we ended up with is gorgeous; it’s a little longer than normal couches with sleek lines and it’s a really pretty deep chocolate brown. The fabric is micro-fiber, so it’s really soft and the entire thing is really plush. Luckily, our tastes are really similar, so when we went shopping it wasn’t too difficult to find ones that we both liked. We knew we wanted something neutral colored, and we preferred that it matched my leather recliner, which is a tan color. It was originally my dad’s, but we don’t mind that it’s used because it is so comfortable. We found ones that we liked, but when we saw this particular couch, we both fell in love with it. It’s been 8 months or so since we got it and I’m still happy, so I guess it was a good decision.
