I really can't decide what to do about a new sofa. There are so many. I looked a lot of different sofas this weekend in many different stores, but nothing really jumped out at me. I saw a Bensen that I like, but I think a Bensen costs a lot of coin. I also saw a Lind that I liked, but it didn't really seem too comfy. The one that I sat on had a polyester filling though, and myself liking luxurious things, I would upgrade to down. I think down would be more comfortable.
I guess I'm trying to decide if I want to spend the coin on something custom or just go with something cookie-cutter. I guess I'm also trying to decide on upholstery, although I've pretty much narrowed that down to microfibre or leather. In terms of the design I'm looking for, I seem to be narrowed in on something low-profile-scandinavian.
I guess my couch is out there somewhere. I should be patient while it finds me.
I found this little gem today: Planet Oranj vintage furniture that you can order online. I like this concept. Seattle doesn't seem to have many vintage furniture stores (Space Oddity is the only one I've heard of, and it seems to have been closed down), so now I just need to find some vintage furniture stores online to order goodies from. Planet Oranj just happens to be based in Seattle, so shipping would be speedy!

it would be a shame to get a really awesome couch and then move to timbucktu and not be able to bring it with you. just go for cookie cutter, but cute and comfortable

It is true. I will probably not take my couch with me to Timbuktu. Perhaps you are right. Kookie-Kutter, Kute, and Komfortable.

Looking at the couches from the companies I don't paticularily like any of them. I think you should just get a big old fluffy thing. It better be comfy becuase I plan to stay on it when I'm broke and I get back home.
