Hopefully I am moving out of my parent's home with my boyfriend within a couple of months.
I may eventually blog about finances, savings, things like that but this post is about my dream couch!
My boyfriend and I have been looking around stores like The Room Place, Value City Furniture, Ashley's, Ikea, Macy's Furniture, etc and we'd gone to soo many and NOTHING struck me. Sure there were couches that would have been acceptable. An okay design, a nice black, or other generic color. But nothing made me go "OMG THIS ONE" until we walked into Value City Furniture and right by the entrance we saw this:
I love the look of leather couches, but have had multiple people tell me they don't last well. That they wear out, stretch out, cave in, and damage can't be fixed. So I resigned myself to accepting a fabric couch, until we found this. It passes my boyfriend's comfort test and he likes the fabric cushions and I am just in love with the leather look and "nailhead trim" as they call it.
It IS a really nice completely black leather looking material, my camera phone just isn't the greatest. Here are photos from the website:
In the store, I even saw a bit of a greenish-hue (that I liked) on the cushions but that may be because of the lighting. I think they look more brown in these photos than they looked in person. It was more grayish in person. I'm not in love with the fabric, but I just love the frame so much I can accept the cushions. I even wonder if we get this couch and keep it for a very long time, if we could replace the cushions if we found something that fits or could get something made. They're not attached at all and easily are removed.
We're not in love with the pillows but we may keep them I think just depending on how we feel like they fit our living room. They come with the couch so there's no way to not purchase them. I've thought about replacing them with green or black pillows maybe.
Ideally, we want a 'sectional,' basically a big corner couch. We hope to have friends over a lot, right now my social circle has problems with hanging out because we all either live with our parents or in very tiny places not good for entertaining. I hope for a place with a living room that can fit this huge couch:
This is actually the brown version, the leather is brown, the cushions are brown, and I think the studs were gold/brass rather than silver. The cushion you see in the lower left corner is from the black version we want. So you can see the color difference.
I'm 100% committed to buying the black/gray version- but we need to find a place first to make sure we can fit it.
I'm just glad I finally found something I LOVE and know if we buy it, I will feel really happy in my living room.... we just need our apartment first!
that is a really pretty couch! leather and studs how much better can it get!,that is deff a winner!
ReplyDeleteHehe, I started calling it "the stud couch" and that nothing can beat it. Love your blog BTW! Your nails are amazing.
DeleteLOL well hopefully when you move out that baby will be yours! and thank you doll I am loving your blog as well! it's cool to read up on blogs that consist of different things :) i'm trying to follow your blog but I can't find the follow button :(
DeleteI'm new to this too and can't figure out how to even add a follow button. I don't see an option on the layout.. i follow people by going to the general blogger.com page, click "add" on the Reading List and pasting in URLS. Seems weird there's not an easier way, but I can't find a follow button on a lot of blogs
DeleteI actually have this set being delivered to me here in Kansas City, but in all black on Saturday, I only got the Sofa and the Chair and ottoman because I got the hubby a black leather recliner.
ReplyDeleteI have been searching EVERYWHERE for this couch online since I saw it in a store in the mall this past Christmas. Breezi- where did you find the one you ordered?
DeleteThat looks great! It looks strong and durable! And its modern design is something that can truly attract visitors to your living room! :)
ReplyDeleteJust came across this post while I was looking for pictures of my couch... It's from 2012 but who knows! I have this couch in Black & Silver. I have only had it for about two years and I have barely used it as I am never home. I'm moving from the suburbs to the city this weekend and I don't think it will fit through the doorway of my new apartment. Please email me for information-arosecollections@gmail.com
