I like the one with the tight back and the lumbar pillows (was it the Marlene?)because I HATE our family room sofa with loose cushions. I much prefer our tight back couch and love seat. They are much more comfortable than the loose cushions. I think you really need to sit on the sofa before you decide. I would never buy one without doing that.

I've had it since about January 2015. I'm not sure how a heater would prevent limescale buildup, unless it would allow the cleaning cycle make a descaler work better. Honestly, I have rarely used the steam option. I think it may be built into the sanitary cycle, and there may be an option to add it to a cycle I haven't had any mildew problems..sure I've accidentally left a load in there too long and has gotten a little musty, but a hot wash with non chlorine bleach or a cleaning cycle has taken care of that stat. Just leave the door open or cracked when not using it for a period of time. I also leave the detergent tray open as it is wet after a cycle. My washer cleaning chemical of choice is citric acid, which is an excellent descaler and residue remover. You can get with Lemi Shine, bulk from amazon, and even in the canning section of a grocery store Detergent will be your personal preference, but definitely make sure it's HE approved. Water type, fabric types, typical dirt type, skin and scent sensitivites, and budget will all be factors for that.

Early morning view. The color to the right of the window is Rockport gray. To the left of the window is Slate Gray. You can see a bit of Copley Gray underneath that. . I want to leave the door color red. I am also looking for a good trim color with whatever we choose. We have lovely dentil moulding.

Miranda, Thank you for the image with the color change. I appreciate the visual. The Soji white in person is really white. I painted the fascia just to see how it would look and it was too white. I painted over it with the Acia Haze. We also live in a Arizona with horse property so my husband doesn‘t want something too light where the dirt will show up. We are liking the Urban Puddy which is the bottom left in my original picture and the big board in the pictures I added. I put up the board I made of Roadside in the morning and post a picture. The painter will pressure wash tomorrow, tape Tuesday, and start painting Thursday. Based on the comments it seems we should go with the Urban Puddy. Or does anyone have a specific color they’ve used and been happy with that is similar to what we‘re all visualizing?
