Two family rooms....two couches!

So you all remember this post.

The one where the hubs and I moved our GIANT sectional couch upstairs?

We were seriously loving our new family room and I was ok with the fact that we may never actually have a couch for both the upstairs and the downstairs.

Well thanks to my dad Santa we were able to go on a little shopping spree to one of my favorite furniture stores.  We are now the proud owners of a new couch and man chair.

I love it.

Our other couch wasn't exactly what I had pictured for that room when I bought the house.

It made a much better man cave couch.

Especially since it was already well loved, I don't care what happens to it down there.

For upstairs I wanted something with a bit more style.

Something that made a slightly better impression as you walk in the front door.

Something that wasn't covered in 5 plus years of misc spills and mishaps.

I think this one fits the bill perfectly.

Plus it's super comfy...Jamie, Kasey and I may or may not have already taken a nap on it.

(pardon my dog......and his arse....didn't notice THAT when I took the picture)

And the man chair.  Well, that was a bit more of a concession.

When it comes to furniture I have taste and my husband does not we don't always see eye to eye.

See those fun printed pillows on the couch?  Well there was a fabulous chair in that same print.

The hubs said hell no how about we look for something else?

Sigh.  Fine.  I'm never going to get my fun print, polka dot chair.....

At least I was able to steer him far.....far.....far away from the barca loungers he was eyeing.

We ended up with this beautiful leather recliner with contrast stiching. (and no cupholders)

I think it was a pretty good compromise.

And we left the furniture store still married....so all in all it was a good trip to the Mart!
