Oh my, I've got my eye on a shabby chic sofa! Have any of ya'll any experience with this Rachel Ashwell furniture line? I'm providing the web addy:

my favorite sofa:

A bit expensive, yet my tushy needs comfortable cushions! Kincaid made a similar sofa, yet now going out of business. Not to hip on Ethan Allen -- I've seen many complaints. My present sofa is nearly 14 years and the springs scring!

What are your favorite furniture styles, makers, fabrics, etc? Pros / Cons?

14 years old! I have never made that kind of committment to anything.
I love cushy furniture, but Dennis, with Parkingson's, now needs stiffer furniture. We are looking to buy a leather sofa to provide the "slip" he needs to get up.

I have leather. I didn't think I would like it. My husband wanted leather. I like it now that I'm used to it. I fall asleep on it just as easily as any other.

Great sofa, Mustang. We have leather right now. It's cold in the winter. I prefer cloth but I'm not sure it would hold up as well with a dog. I need something that doesn't stain.

I love the Shabby Chic style. I could get lost in a room with a overstuffed 1930's chair or chaise lounge, a good book, a roaring fire, and Sam Elliott........ahem..ahem...Sorry.

Mustang, I ended up with a red leather sofa and I love it. Daisy doesn't like to sit on it but I have a thick pad/blanket for her to lay on.

It's definitely NOT shabby chic, but my decor is very ecletic (sp?) and I have a combination of old, new and funky.

Well, it looks like the hub is going to buy another flatscreen tv. The one we have is 40 inches and he's looking at a 60 inch one now. Soon, the entire wall is going to be one big television! It's HD so will be nice.
