comfy couch and christmas

we got a new couch! it's a christmas miracle. 

C and i didn't quite see eye to eye on sofa priorities. he wanted comfy. i wanted lines. he wanted big. i wanted small. we landed on this:

its tufted back is both comfortable and visually interesting. its high, straight edges provide a nice place to rest your head. it's gray. it's got stain guard for sticky hands and dirty paws. most importantly, it fits in our little living room nook. in a word three words, we love it.

 the room i loved at first sight is slowly coming together [art, rug, and side tables, anyone?]. with the couch, a new ikea chair and ottoman, the leather chair and two bar stools, this little room has a lot of seating options while remaining cozy.

[those tv wires will kill me if they're not painted and hidden in january. it's fine.]

 janie bea approves.

 oh and the sprinkles of holiday cheer in here... 

sparkle reindeer survived the move from memphis.

and our tree. sans ornaments and a tree topper which provided to be too much hassle this year. it's a shame, but i tell you the snow beyond these windows, a fire roaring and sharing a blanket with my two loves on the new couch brings me so much joy. tis the season.
