Yes, it really is good news. Because what I really mean is, it FINALLY broke. And I have been wanting a new couch, shopping for a new couch, dreaming of a new couch, for EVER.
I had narrowed it down to three finalists, all from Macy's. I liked Macy's prices, I liked the adorable mid-century vibe of many of the sofas, and I really liked that they were all in the same store because I kind of hate errands.
Contestant Number One: Claudia
Claudia was the frontrunner before I actually went to the store. She's leather, which means no more cat-hair-covered cushions. (I'm pretty sure the broken couch was actually
growing its own fur by the time of it's demise.) I was really excited about the leather. Leather, leather, leather. And, Claudia had that sexy tufted back and those slender arms. Nice.
But alas, not so comfy, that Claudia.
Contestant Number Two: Corona
Despite being named after a crappy beer, Corona had tons of potential. He looked like he belonged at Sterling Cooper, a giant plus in my book. And he had that very masculine tufting on the back. So two points. Slender arms...AND tapered legs. Four points.
He got another point in the store for his sexy fabric. Very granny-chic, sort of bumpy, which would importantly hide cat scratches well. Five whole points. Five points should have made him a star, but then he had to go and get all awkward when we sat down on him. Cushions popping all over the place. Um, you're a couch, Corona. You're going to have to get better at being sat upon. No dice.
Contestant Number Three: Chloe
Oh, Chloe, just look how cute you are. All flirty with your tufting, and swoopy arms. Velvety fabric. (On sale!) And squishy and comfortable! We have a winner! Go on, Chloe, put on the tiara. Work it.
Um, and because I really didn't want her to be lonely in her new home, I also adopted her boyfriend, Morgan. Isn't he handsome?
Can't wait until they arrive, sometime in February.
