It makes the most sense to start in the room that everyone sees: the living room. D and I have thrown around the idea of buying a new couch, and he is dying to have his own comfy recliner. Currently we have this dreadful ivory colored, hand-me-down, couch and chair. Those bad boys have followed us through college and four pets; you can imagine the hell they've seen. A new couch is first on my agenda (and probably second on D's after his recliner). Since I'm not too picky, nor one to search forever for anything (I'm pretty committed to the first thing I fall in love with...shoes, a particular dress, etc.), I fell in love with a couch at Ikea the other weekend.

I'm not committed to the long end on one side since eliminating it will save a bit of money, but I actually love it. If D gets a recliner, shouldn't I have a method of reclining as well?! I've sat on it and know it's comfy.
I'd love to use this piece and build around it. I can't imagine what color/kind of recliner D could find to match this theme, but I hope we can try. Aside from that, I'd love to work our living a room around darks and lights.

Now I just need a little motivation (and money) to follow through with my redecorating endeavor!

I really love the little bar area! so cute! It's hard for me to spend money on my apartment because there are so many other things to save money for (like traveling :))
Some of the options currently available include massage recliners, rocker recliners, space saving recliners, electronic recliners, and more. Each of these options are similar, yet offer functions that make them different. While one feature may be important to one person, another may have no need for such options.
