SITTIN' PRETTY
We got a new suite, sweet, for our living room.
We had to get rid of the leather stuff we have had for all the years we have been here. It had faded and the leather, a finished leather, that was not very rugged in the first place, was giving out. Not cleanable any more without flaking the finish. And it sat under a desert skylight all that time.
The new furniture, this is two out of four pieces, another love seat across the room and an upholstered bench or double ottoman, is heavy fabric. It is darker than it shows here. It is tough.
There is a small herringbone pattern in it.
And Booker loves it!
John found some towels at Target that absolutely, purely, match the furniture. And so the Airedale is invited to come aboard. He has done just that and especially loves the cushions to rest his head on.
We are very happy with it all.
It is grown up furniture. Serious. But with a gentle spirit. If you get my drift.
Sturdy. It will certainly live as long as we do and probably a lot longer.
And it "sits" well in the high ceilinged room. On the matching medallions of the rug and next to the grey blinds that were here when we came.
Blah blah blah. A picture is worth a thousand words so I will shut it up.
