New GREEN leather sofa is here!

8 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!

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

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 have a natural leather sofa and it has gotten some worn spots. I use shoe polish to bring it back and it works very well. I rub it in and it looks new again. I wait a little bit to allow it to dry so that it won't rub off on clothes. I find I do need to redo it every few months.

Another fan of the turkish rug cover! Also the vintage-ish PB covers. I'll have to run out to the outlet and see if they have any. Sometimes they have items that are no longer stocked in the catalog. And hey-- did you ever get that long shallow horchow piece for the tv console?

No. The chair style does NOT suit the sofa style at ALL.. Pick an accent color and a fabric clad chair. Not green, but can't answer as we know nothing else of the room. Such as rug.......... which is a good place to begin. POST this thread on the UK site, so you get local to you ideas.

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?

I wanted to get green leather for my family room but ended up going a different direction. Still want green leather somewhere though.

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?

It's a great color and the perfect solution to the ubiquitous brown leather sofa!

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.
