New GREEN leather sofa is here!

9 years ago

Here she is. The green is definitely subtle in my darkish living room. I'm very happy with the color and style! In general I prefer an upholstered/fabric sofa, but this is a DH "win."

The back is a bit lower than our old sofa...I might lower the art just a bit.

One of the things I like about it is the tight back. With every sofa we have owned, the back cushions get too floppy looking after a few years so I am happy for this change!

Leather Sofa/Couch Disaster - HELP!!!!
Q

Call a professional and get a couple of quotes. You might be better off taking the cushion to them because these guys usually charge to come out to make a quote. Call and ask. I know because I used to repair leather. The colorant costs about $75 a quart and you have to mix it to get the right color. Also, there are different procedures for diferent types of leather. This is not a DIY repair, but if you want to try, there are several sites on the web that will explain how to do the repair and sell you the kit.

Need some advise on our leather couch...repair or buy new?

When I do frame repairs, I remove and replace, build up, or reinforce the parts of the frame that are broken. There is really no standard answer as it depends upon what is broken, how it is broken, and whether or not it can be easily removed. I usually try for "betterment" by replacing engineered wood with solid wood, weak woods with stronger ones, or convert simple planks into I-beams. It's doubtful they will rebuild the whole frame as this will involve re-upholstery and it would be cheaper to send you a new one.

I impulse-bought a new sofa - now what? + leather care questions
Q

Pretty sofa! And that is a small room. I'm sorry I can't offer any advice on layout. I struggle with that myself. I'm definitely challenged in the decorating department. I'm sure others will help you out. As far as cleaning your leather, there are many online resources that can help you. First of all you need to know what grade of leather you have. Full grain would be the top of the line, with varying grades down to bicast leather. Have you tried calling this company you linked to see what grade this is? Is there a tag on the furniture? I have had a full grain leather sofa, love seat. chair, and ottoman for about 20 years and it looks better now than when I bought it. (yeah, I know...matchey-matchey is a no-no) They say you shouldn't have full grain with children, but we have pets and grandchildren, and we have not been especially careful with it. Our leather furniture is not shiney, and is super soft. LOVE IT! The most comfortable seating ever! I clean with mild soap and water if something gets spilled, and occasionally rub it down with saddle soap. Don't know if that's an approved cleaning method, but it looks great after all these years. Here is a link that might be useful: How to clean leather furniture

Score! New to Me CL sofas. Goodbye muppet couches!
Q
Comments (29)
donnagwd, I call them muppet couches because of the overstuffed bulbous 80's shape to them. You could staple a thin scarf with pompoms on the ends for feet to the bottom of them and they'd look like they would just dance away in that crazed muppet way. golddust, they appear to be very well made. The frames are solid and heavy. The dust cover on the bottom is a nice heavy fabric, not just scrim. The previous owners replaced these with a leather sectional that their kids could climb and jump on with impunity. We have a rumpus room for such shenanigans. The LR is for entertaining my guests. The kids are allowed to play there, but high-spirited action is in the rec room.

It looks good! I prefer a fabric too. Dh would love leather, but we have cats so it's not going to happen. ;)

Good choice! I like a tight back too. We have a leather loveseat in our home office (hubby uses this room the most) and he has a leather chair in the great room and one in the sunroom/den, so it's worked out well for us. What is it about men and leather?

Thank you. As the delivery guys carried it in, I realized the sofa matches the green of my front door...guess I like that color??

I have already moved the lightest-colored pillow elsewhere. It seemed too light and then there's the issue of odd numbers... ;)

I like it very much. The color appears more gray green on my monitor. Is that true in real life?

Yeah, we have the ubiquitous brown leather chair in the corner...which is one reason I wasn't about to get a brown leather sofa!

It really is a nice green color, and plays well with the grass in the picture above it. I hope you enjoy your new space.

I've been waiting for this thread! It looks wonderful. I like the color and it looks great with the rug and pillows. Also like the tight back! Is it comfortable (with the back)? I believe you said your other couch was the same so I'm guessing it is.

Curious, what size are your pillows? Thanks!

Sheels, for a not-plushy sort of sofa (you don't sink in and go aahhh) it's comfy. We have the same in a love seat size in the next room, which actually seems more comfortable to me but I think it's because it's older and this new one has that new-sofa stiffness. I want to hire a bunch of big burly men to jump on it and sit on it for a while to soften it up!

The big pillows are 20" I think.

Lo, it's a Lee Industries sofa from Crate & Barrel.
