A dark brown leather sectional, to be exact :)
This isn't the greatest photo (the color is warmer in real life), but it will give you the idea:
(To give you a sense of the size, it's eight feet by eight feet - a slightly smaller footprint than the current arrangement of couches in the living room.)
It was a spontaneous purchase of the best kind. I've had a picture in my mind for months about the perfect couch for the upstairs living room (where the red couches are) - 1) comfy, 2) genuine leather, 3) not too deep or too narrow, 4) armrests on both ends (shocking how many couches don't have this nowadays), 5) curved sectional with connecting hardware, 6) not too ornate or too casual, 7) not insanely expensive. The combination was hard to find. I'd shopped around in Minneapolis, and then given up for a while this spring because I wasn't finding anything I liked. So instead I focused on finishing the guest bedroom, and thought I'd start looking for couches again in the summer or fall.
Then, my cousin and I walked into a shop in the Old Market of Omaha, and that's where I found it - the perfect leather sectional. As close to the comfort level of my red couches as I think I'm going to get. Beautiful walnut-colored genuine leather. Zipper attachments for the pillows so they don't slide out of place. A curved corner seat. Armrests (and pretty ones at that). Best of all? A great price, and a steal on the shipping arrangements.
It won't be here for 4-6 weeks, which is just fine because I have to sell the red couches and paint the room first.
Did I really just buy a couch over the phone from a store two states away? (Not even a furniture store, mind you. Just a random store.)
Yes. Because when you find what you've been looking for, you go for it. Right?
LOVE it!
