After months of umming and ahhing over our less than perfect couch, I took a leap and gave it away. We had a matching set, and now that I've removed one, I want to replace the other. I'm amazed how much more light and space the room has. I mean, obviously there is more space, I knew there would be because I'm not an idiot, but the whole room feels lifted. 

It was originally in front of the window, and I was feeling a little over-committed to the dark leather, so the fact that the sun had done some damage, although disappointing, was at least a good excuse to get rid of it.
