Okay, I've had the same ugly couch for like 9 years. It has a sharp thing sticking out the back and it's getting really springy now. I looked in a bigger town but didn't see anything I liked. Today we go looking in our little town and I find some sofas I really like. There are 2 I really like. I don't know how to do links so I'll just tell you the names. They are both by Ashley. One is Cora Rose. The other is Ella Spice. I know my signif. other wants me to get the less expensive one. But in the long run I don't think it will matter. It's about 140.00 dollars difference at the store where I can get it. Which one do you think is better? I'm really leaning toward the Ella Spice one. I don't want to get the other one just because it's cheaper and then regret it. I do like it though. Just not as much as the other. I know I'll have this couch for a long time and it's the first time I've gotten to pick one. I just want to make the right choice.
Here's the link to the Cora Rose sofa: www -ashley-furniture-online.... And here's the one for Ella Spice: www -ashley-furniture-online.... Ashley is a pretty decent name in furniture, so both are probably good quality. Really, it's a matter of which you like better and what your budget can handle. To be honest, I'm not crazy about the style of either one (too traditional for me ... and I'm not nuts about florals), but I do like other items in the Ella Spice line ... the dark-toned wood and the simple, classic lines could work well in a more contemporary setting, if you chose. Overall, I like the Ella Spice better. You're right ... a sofa is a long-term investment, so I'd recommend you buy the one you love and will want to live with for a long time. $140 isn't really a lot if you figure that over the life of a sofa ... right? ADDED: If you like the cottage style, you love roses and romance, you like pink and green together ... either of these sofas would be PERFECT for you! Pick the one YOU love.
