Couches!

At our old place, we had some very nice hand me down couches that were graciously donated to us by a friend because he was leaving the country. It was a nice set, but after a few years of wear, we decided it might be time for something new. Plus, the dark leather and style didn't really go with what we were planning for the new house.

So, we decided two things. 1. To keep our eyes out for a couch and 2. to finally get the couch and chair we bought for a steal at a garage sale in Wisconsin reupholstered. After just a few days, I found a steal on Craigslist. They had ordered a couch but it came in the wrong color. Company policy was to simply send them a new one and they were free to do as the liked with the old. So we got it for about 1/3 of what it was worth. Its a nice couch, comfy and over 7 feet long (which Matt likes cause he can lay out fully on it)

And then there were these bad boys. We loved the look of them but the fabric was old and ugly and the foam in the cushions was starting to go. So I called around and we decided to go with Williams Reupholstery. Ken was amazing, he really worked wonders and for anyone within 50 miles of Cincinnati (or further) I would completely recommend him.

And after. We had a tough time deciding on fabric but I love what we chose. Not quite navy, not quite cobalt, neutral but not boring. And of course we had to get some new pillows to go with it. 

Leroy immediately claimed the chair and he's pretty much always on it, sleeping in his epic kitty way. Matt likes to say its the most expensive cat toy ever made. But look how pretty!!
