Mixmatched Madness
Until this past Sunday, we have had ONLY ONE couch in our living room. Because ther are only two of us, I thought one couch would be plenty…not so much.
Just to bring you up to speed, we have had a “couch problem” for the past few years. The tan couch is actually our 3rd couch in two years. We had to return a couch, love seat, and chase combo TWICE before ending up with that one. It turns out that couches aren’t really meant to hold a 6′3″ male weighing in at 225.
Add to that, we have family visit all too often and we occasionally have visitors (usually my brother) that end up on the floor. Most importantly, Maz does not always enjoy sharing the couch with me. See, we can’t both lay down on the couch at the same time and I win 90% of the time. My solution was to get a big comfy chair or a chase in a matching color. His was new couch. Period. He was determined to get something that would accommodate his frame and fit in our living room – color choice wasn’t a top priority.
Guess who won?
Now we have a WHITE sleeper sofa (which the delivery guys insisted on telling us was the ONLY white sleeper sofa they have ever delivered) to go with our tan couch. Huh? White doesn’t go with everything. I am working on getting some pillows or blankets to pull it together or I may just have to rearrange the setting.
Note to self: I should have called the shots two years ago, and insisted on the quality sectional that matched and been done with it.
