It's really nice. We only sit on it on Christmas morning. We've had it for 2 years. I'ts a blue/teal like color. I posted a picture in the thread 'Anyone interested?' The loveseat is in the 3rd picture, it as a 3 cushion sofa just like it. The couch and loveseat were custom made in Berne, Indiana.

Wow!!!! Tink, that looks very nice!! And it sounds like you got a really good deal on both pieces of furniture!!! We bought a leather recliner when we bought our sofa set, but I can assure you that we didn't get a good deal for ours like you did. Congratulations! Now doesn't it make you want to get everything in place and see it all newly decorated?

BTW--How's the floor coming? Did you get started on it yet?

Diana, you're SO right. I can hardly wait to get everything done and see the transformation. Hubby doesn't have time this weekend to start the floor because he leaves again tomorrow, and we've decided to stain and poly the wood prior to putting it down so that we don't have to deal with it being wet and sticky in the center of the house. The finish will be walnut with a satin sheen. It needs 3-4 coats, so will take time to prepare. I bought oil based polyurethane because it's suposed to be more durable than the water based. With pets, it's not a job we want to have to repeat any time soon. Moses or Sebastian paw prints in the finish wouldn't be good. LOL

So that the room doesn't get TOO dark, the loveseat has a much lighter color on it than the sofa. It's more a sandy khaki color and is a faux suede called durapella. So they don't match, but do compliment each other nicely. I had to laugh when they carried the 2 pieces out of the store. There were 2 older ladies standing by the door who commented on it. "OH that sofa is NICE!" They said. Then dumbfounded "They put that love seat in the same truck! Those pieces don't match!" Teeheehee I wanted to tell them to watch HGTV... the pieces don't HAVE to match anymore. But I kept quiet... They would have thought me insane.

Tink, so glad you found something that you really like and got such a fantastic deal!!!!! Awesome!!!!

We're using all Ashley furniture for a home I'm decorating for my hubby's home tour. The couch we picked is also chocolate brown, a different style, but very similiar color.

Enjoy you're new furniture!!!!!

Marilyn, we found out that the Millenium line of Ashley furniture is their higher quality line and is comparable in quality to more high end companies. They have several lower end lines that they've been getting quite a few complaints about the quality of. I have a close friend who works in the compalints department at the main Ashley offices who told me about this.

Thank goodness our stuff is from the Millenium line.

Good information. I really didn't know that much about Ashley, but they do have some really nice looking furniture. If we decide to buy any, we will definitely check this out. We've bought items in the past that looked really nice and were told by the salesperson how great the quality was only to have problems when we got the items home.

It sounds like you're having good house karma! Hubby sounds like a keeper to me too.

Enjoy your new stuff,
