It went on sale yesterday and it took me 1 hour to make the decision. I did it. And the one hour was actually because I was agonizing over buying this sofa that I have loved for years, or the other settee that I had also fallen in love with, and was also marked down a significant amount.
My final justification for just buying them both, (yup) was that the markdown on the second covered the cost of the first. So it was like paying full price for one, and getting both sofas.
I actually got two of the navy one to face each other in front of the fireplace. I might just end up going with one, and returning the 2nd one, but I was afraid that if I didn't purchase the two at the same time and decided later that I did want two, it might come from a different dye lot and not be identical. So, I got them both, and if they don't fit what I'd like them to do, I'll return one, or both. But I really think they'll be great. I'm actually really proud of myself for finally making a decision and making the purchase. I've been on the hunt for the right pieces for a very long time. I finally found some that Aaron and I both love, and the purchases were paid for 100% with money I made teaching preschool last year, that I've been saving to spend on the right piece. I hope they are as fabulous in my home as they are in the pictures. If not...well, that's why I read the return policy before I ordered them.
Eeek! Three pieces of grown up furniture in my house! I can't wait.

They are beautiful! You have such great self-control. I love your couch, too. Is it from Ikea? We need a new one to fit all six (!) of us.
Thanks! Yes, our sectional is from IKEA and we LOVE the style but the chaise is total crap. Only 6 months after owning it and the seat of the chaise has caved in so you have to have someone pull you out of it. It's a structural issue, we've tried flipping the cushion and it hasn't helped at all. Boo hiss on that one. At least it's pretty, and the sofa part is perfect, it's just the chaise part that crapped out on us.
hmmm...that sounds weird. To clarify, we've owned the sectional for 2 years, but it's been broken for 18 months.
Those are lovely. I'm glad you were able to buy them! I am notorious for talking myself out of the things that I've been saving for. Like the pillows at IKEA that I've been in love with since '08 and I found a week ago on clearance for $10 a piece. Almost talked myself out of them, again, but my sister was there to tell me to snap out of it. They make my ugly living room couch look so much better! So worth the $20.
I can't WAIT to see these in your house!
I wonder if we could open up the bottom of that chaise and reinforce it somehow...
I love the look of these, they will look great in your awesome house!
I like Kaseys idea. Open that baby up and fix it.
