We bought a couch!

rivkaWe went couch shopping at a discount furniture store on Tuesday, and didn't find anything that really grabbed us. Today we went to a full-service store that was having a 40-50% Off New Year's sale, and I fell in love.
This is what we bought. It's incredibly comfortable and seems to be very well made. I love the shape, and the nailhead trim on the arms.
We chose a solid color instead of the striped fabric pictured on the webpage. It's a rich warm chocolate brown, in a sturdy blended fabric. Throw pillows were included - that surprised me - so we picked a pattern that's red, brown, tan, and gold, in a sort of an Oriental-rug pattern.
Our current couch cost me $100 in, let's see, 1997. It's certainly served us well, and we've gotten our money's worth from it several times over. But it is no longer either attractive or comfortable. This one is going to be a big step up.
Tragically, "allow 8-12 weeks for delivery," so it's not going to be here until sometime after the Niblet is. I'm not very good at delayed gratification.
