Introducing... the COUCH!

My brother on the new couch! He came to see us last weekend. I wanted everyone to know that we do hang out here in KC and this is proof. (Those pillows to do not belong on the couch.)

Okay, so here are the long awaited pictures of our new couch in the basement. I am on the hunt for pillows or for fabric for pillows...so it looks pretty plain. I really love the couch with the new paint color. I think that it looks very nice. You will notice the scrap piece of carpet that we put down there just to make it feel and look more "homey." We do not have an ottoman for the couch yet but we are looking for one. I will probably recover something to bring more color to the room and to the couch. We are using the Ottoman from the chair upstairs. We LOVE watching movies on the couch. We had the Holbrook's over a few weekends ago and we watched two movies. We were not crammed together...we were all pretty comfortable. The leather is soft and wipes off easily. The pillows, on the back, are attached with zippers. They can be zipped off and two people could comfortably sleep on both sections of the couch...like two twin beds. Everyone needs to come over and try out the new couch! That is an open invitation. (Bring a movie and some snacks!)

cute! I so want to sit on it and lay on it and "watch" a movie or two (I don't think I have seen a movie in it's entirety at our house since I got pregnant). Come over and see my....new dresser. That is right, the one I have had since I was 9 is gone. Don't cry for me argentina. If I had a million dollars.....

Love the new couches! I'm very jealous. I wouldn't mind napping on that fine piece of furniture.
