furniture/decorating thread
« on: June 27, 2013, 12:36:45 PM »
What do you think about this sectional?  I want something that is modern but not too modern.  Background: my house is in Brookside/Armour Hills so I need a healthy medium.

looks nice kc. does it come with an option for an unattached ottoman instead of attached? could make it more versatile.

Looks great. Hard to tell what is "too modern" w/o knowing what your house and other furniture is though.

I think sectionals are pretty trashy/man-cavey. Maybe this one?

They also have a non-sectional version of the one you like:

They're almost too common now. I'd find a place that will let you pick out your colors fabric legs etc. Itll take a while for it to be built but you'll be glad you waited...took my 5 piece 6 weeks but costs the same as any show room sectional

Yeah, I would start the bidding at $75, and probably be willing to go as high as $100.

I like table top extending out over the legs in all directions, so no.  Otherwise it's alright I guess.  Looks like you have an old floor for a table. 
My prescience is fully engorged.  It throbs with righteous accuracy.  I am sated.

I was wrong there anyway.  I like four corner legs on my coffee tables.  Maybe four corner that beast and we are looking right into each other's eyes on this thing.

the coffee table looks like a bench and doesn't go with your couch, like at all.
