When we got married we went out and bought a nice futon. That may seem like an oxymoron, but it was a nice wooden frame, and the mattress had real springs and all that jazz.
When we moved last July into a much smaller place, we just tossed it in the living room, after all that is where a piece of furniture like that belongs.

Given that we have 2 young boys, and Duncan, we figured that leather was a good route. It is easy to clean, and comes in all shapes and sizes.
One of my favorite quotes came from Conan O’Brien when talking to his audience. He was going to give them all a gift and then said “I don’t make Oprah scratch” basically meaning the gift wouldn’t be a new car or anything.

We are an artsy family with a knack for things a little out of the ordinary, but when Craig showed me a matching patchwork leather chair and sofa, I was in awe. At first thinking it was tacky, then realizing in the right setting, it was really cool, AND all real leather.
Not 2 days later I was jamming the new set into my Hyundai Tucson, it fit, kinda…. But I did get it home, and it now sits in our living room, simple, and clutter free!

What became of the futon you ask, well it now lives in the office, and serves as seating in that room which is a larger room and makes more sense. We have rearranged it a few times to make it more practical, but let me say, I am a big fan of our new furniture.

that is an awesome set, can't find anything like that in the department store now a days thats for sure!
ReplyDeleteI googled it, and I cant find anything like it ANYWHERE, I need to look underneath and see if it has a company name on it.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like it! It's almost like the leather chair/sofa and the knitted blanket (or quilt) that rested over-top somehow melded together! What a truly unique discovery, and the set looks perfect in your living room:)
ReplyDeleteWow that is awesome! You're so lucky! You're like the only person in the world with a leather patchwork couch :-P
ReplyDeleteWowza! That might be the coolest leather furniture I have ever seen...

ReplyDeleteI just acquired a set exactly like this. A sofa and chair that both rock? Did you ever find out the manufacturer and what is a set like this worth? Do you still own yours?

We had one of those chairs growing up!! I don’t know what ever happened to it, but I loved that chair! I would love to find another one like it. Did you ever find out anything about the manufacturer, date of manufacture, designer, etc.
