I think we have a winner.

Living room furniture shopping with my husband continued, even though it ceased being fun a while back. Nothing pleased the man and I was doubting we would ever find a set that checked all his boxes. Until we walked into… of all places… Lazy Boy.

I despise recliners and that store wasn’t even on my radar, but damned if it wasn’t where he finally found a couch he liked.

Rolled pillowless back, good length, solid arms.

It looks almost identical to the set we have now… which I didn’t really want, but he’s worn me down with his fussiness and I’m ready to cry uncle.

Miracle of all miracles you can pay a few hundred dollars more per piece and get the firmest damn cushions on the face of the planet (think park bench comfort) which is his number one issue.

They’re actually temperpedic, like the mattresses… and that sealed the deal for my spouse.

He’s not smiling, but trust me…. Goldilocks was pleased.

Up next? Fabric.

  5. Rolled arm furniture is pretty and comfortable when you reach over the arm to grab the remote or a beverage. I haven’t been in a Lazy Boy store in years, same reason as you. No recliners, thank you.

  6. That’s a nice sofa, even if it is brown. You can show me the most stylish, cushy sofa around and if I can’t stretch all the way out, not a particularly long stretch, then it’s on to the next one. We shopped at Lazy Boy for our last sofa but the fabric selection was fifty shades of blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Hopefully they have updated their style a little bit. Can’t wait to see the whole thing put together in your house.
    Any love on the dining room? Check out Sam Maloof and/or George Nakashima. Lavishly expensive, to be sure, but this crosses the line between high end furniture and fine art. I’m not sure how I would like it on carpet, more like hardwood with a nice rug. I imagine your floors get a little cold, so you might have to suffer for your art a little. Tight lines.

    1. That floor model was grey, but I have to go look at fabric soon. We’re still searching for the dining room…. Goldilocks is not easily pleased.
      The carpet will be ripped out soon, and while I’m all about quality, lavishly expensive art like furniture might be pushing it with all the other renovation work we’re doing.

    1. He’s had a bad back ever since his days in the Corps. The soft pillows with no support cause him pain getting up and down.
      As for recliners, I’ve never liked them. The look, or even the idea. Not sure I can adequately detail why… just don’t.
