Couches

So, we made a rookie mistake when we were first married. We needed a couch...so, we bought one...without test driving it. Bad move. We have regretted it ever since the day we got the couch, and here we are, six and a half years later, still grumpy about the couch. Now, to look at the positives:

1. it is slip-covered and washable, which is key for bad dog owners like us who let our black lab sit with us on a khaki couch.
2. Neutral khaki color...has been able to withstand lots of different colored throw pillows and wall colors.

We dream and talk about getting a new couch often.

Here is the thing...I love upholstered couches; however, with Glory and now Paddy (okay, I guess I should include Sean and I here too b/c we are just as guilty as G & SP), I want something that is easy to clean. I can't count how many moments of frustration I have had b/c of the couch not being clean...argh. So, since we are crushing on the tufted look, I feel like our only option for me to keep my sanity would be a leather couch like this:
