New Couch

When we moved to KC we headed to Nebraska Furniture Company and picked out a super cheap sectional. When we got it I realized that I don’t “love” microfiber. I picked it out because with 2 little ones I wanted to have something durable and easy to clean. But microfiber leaves all kinds of hand prints, butt prints, i mean you can write your name on it if you’d like. I didn’t like it. And then we started hearing creaks and cracks everytime you would move. You get what you pay for and we didn’t pay much!! We had someone from the store come out and look for it and they said that the frame was broken and we would have to pick out a different couch. We looked at the 1000+ couches they had but we ended up picking the one one we got in the first place. But I chose a different fabric. Have you ever tried to pick out fabric that is going to cover a whole couch but is a tiny square? How do you know what it will really look like. I agonized over this decision because the last couch we bought we have had for 10 years. (and still have).

Well we got our new couch and they took the broken one. (Nate actually tried to get them to take the 10 year old couch but they were too smart for that). So the new fabric is….different. Its a camel color and a bit brighter (more goldish) than I thought it would be but hey, its not microfiber and it doesn’t creak. Its been about 6 months since we ordered the first couch so I’m glad for this to be settled.

So come over sometime and sit on our new couch and tell me what you think about the color!!
