Sofa Shopping
So my next big purchase for the new crib is a sofa. It took me a while to figure out what I want, but I'm pretty sure that I want a big, deep, comfy sofa that's nice looking, but still slouchy and casual. And I want to have a big chair with an ottoman.So I did some couch sitting over the Thanksgiving holiday to see if anything looked really good to me. I saw a set at Thomasville Furniture that was calling my name. But once I get my custom fabric on it and get it shipped to NYC, I will be paying a pretty penny (like almost six grand for the whole kit and kaboodle).
I've decided that since I'm a big girl now with her own place that I need nice furniture. But six stacks worth may be too nice. So here are some sofas I've seen online that are calling my butt cheeks to come sit on them:
Restoration Hardware:
Problem with this one is that I think the back is too high to fit through my apartment door. And I'm not sure that it's quite slouchy enough.
Pottery Barn:
Mmmmmm....comfy. :-) Thomasville:
Not to worry, I have taste. Their fabrics are custom.
I sat on this last one in the store and it is heavenly. But it's the expensive one, so we'll see.
Anyone have any couch advice? I was reading Martha Stewart's new Homekeeping Handbook (it's like a Bible) and she was telling me all kinds of things I need to look for. Like how the springs are mounted and if the parts are glued together or screwed in. Helpful stuff! Send any suggestions or ideas my way!

I know nothing a/b sofa's!
Isn't it fun to shop for grown up items?
So much fun!!
Now imagine that you live with your significant other and have to blend the taste of two people. That can be hard work.
I like the pics you sent though.
We have leather sofas and they're working out so far, even with kids in the picture.
Good luck!
