Well, we have a new feature at our house that is nice fer yer bum. It's called couches that haven't been through 20 years in a student apartment. While they aren't new couches, they are less than 5 years old. This beauty (which we've had for six years, since pre-marriage) now has to move over. In fact, it's been kicked to the curb in hopes that someone will provide it with a nice home. Barring that, it's off to DI. Now, the couch did not look so terrible in our home. With a couch cover, it looked just fine. But, have you ever dealt with couch covers? ARRRGH!! A source of 6 year frustration for me, I'll be honest. You sit on it, the seat gets all mussed and pulls away from your carefully placed tucks. Soon, the underfabric is showing (how embarrassing for the poor couch!) and it looks as though your preschooler decorated your house. I got so fed up with that this week that I turned to every Utah-Bargain-Lover's favorite site, KSL.com classifieds. It's like a clarified Craigslist. 
So, Monday I picked up our "new" velvet microfibre loveseat (it's a dark army brown) and 
today we picked up our "new" leather jacket-like couch. Man, it is 30 times more comfortable than the old one! So, no, they aren't a set, and they are different colors (the loveseat looks much greener in the picts). But I didn't really want them to "match"--I'm pretending to be more eclectic than I really am! I think I need some accessories to pull it together (not to mention some different curtains!), but I'm already LOVING not having to re-tuck and arrange the couch covers every time someone is coming over!
If you'd like to reserve one of our cushions for yer bum's seating enjoyment, please contact our reservation line!

I tried the couch cover once...it only lasted about 2 hours before I got sick of tucking and took it back to the store.
