The Sofa Situation

have been driven to start blogging again because I am trying to decorate and it promises to be an adventure. So I am trying to buy a new sofa and matching chairs to pull my living room together. I will post a picture of my living room in its current state tonight. So here is the dilema:

My version of a nice sofa

DH's Version

So as you can see we are worlds apart...I like contemporary/mid-century while he likes just comfortable...that's it, no particular style or era. So I am trying to find compromises such as:

Orson, by Room & Board

Kendall, by Room & Board

Cameron by Room & Board

Axis, by Crate and Barrel

Lounge, by Crate and Barrel

What do you think?
