Shopping for a new couch
Posted by Brian in furniture, living room on December 11, 2010
Because our living room is going to be considerably smaller than our old place, we sold the massive 12′ wide sectional that we had at Reardon, and are looking for a smaller couch. Â Our major constraint is that it 100% has to be under 95″ but preferably closer to the 80″ wide mark. Â We’ve been checking out different websites, and trying to figure out our floor plan in the living room. Â It looks like a sofa and a single chair will be all that we have room for, so long chaise lounge and sectional!
It’s very apparent after perusing many websites, that the sofas and style of  EQ3 and Van Leeuwen are along the lines of what we’re looking for.  Leons, The Brick are pretty far from what we’re looking for, but you never know, sometimes you can come across a hidden gem where you least expect it.
If you have recommendations of other stores that we could check out please send us a link or post a comment with the store name!
Beds with storage – small space solutions
Posted by Brian in decorating, furniture, interior, small spaces on September 9, 2010
We’ve been starting to look at some good solutions for small spaces, and one of the ideas we came up with were beds with storage underneath them. Â Actual built in storage, rather than just cramming everything and anything under the bed, the prices and style vary depending on where you look, from $300 at Ikea, to well over $1000 at Leons. Â The brick seems to have a decent selection, although I’m sure with a few visits to a couple of other stores we could definitely find something that we both really like. Â Having drawers under the bed could be great for all our extra linens, pillows, and towels. Â Here are a few of the beds we’ve found so far:
