Choosing a Sofa is Proving Rather Difficult

You wouldn’t think choosing a sofa would be the most difficult choice a human being could face, but in our house it is turning out to be extremely tricky. The thing is that I love leather sofas, and I really want an old, dignified, Victorian-looking green or red leather sofa to give our living room a bookish look. I can imagine myself sitting with an improving tome, looking for all the world like a 19th-century Bohemian poetess. But my husband totally disagrees. He says he wants a sofa that he can watch the football from, something leather-free and comfy. I’ve tried to convince him that leather sofas are incredibly comfortable, and that he just doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but it’s no use. I think he once fell asleep on a leather armchair, and when he woke up his face was stuck to it. In my book, that’s a cautionary tale, warning you not to sleep on the sofa. In his book, it means leather is evil.

Well, the impasse has become a stand-off. The fact is that neither of us would really object to the other getting what they would want, but it’s the principle of the thing. I don’t see why he should get to dictate terms, simply because he spends most of his spare time watching twenty-two men chasing a ball, and he thinks he should get to dictate terms for that very reason. The fact is that I can’t read when the TV is on anyway, so it might end up being the case that I never get the opportunity to sit on the sofa – especially if he renews the Sky subscription. For now, we are agreeing to disagree, and we both sit on hard wooden chairs in the living room. It’s a classic lose-lose situation.

The Beauty of Having a King Size Bed

I have always liked the look of king size beds, even when having one was not at all justified. Even when living alone, I would consider such a bed, if only for the majestic feel that it would give me. As a world traveler, I have slept in many types of beds, but nothing can compare with the feeling that you get when you can spread out and fully enjoy this seemingly endless area of comfort. As a small person I definitely do not need a king size bed – but that does not stop me from having one. The bed is the main focus point in my bedroom, and I took care to make it as imposing as possible. Every now and then I feel I can get lost in this huge mass of soft pillows and blankets, but this is exactly what I am looking for. And reading in such a bed – that is a pure delight! I can change my position as many times as I want and never get bored of laying there with a book in my hand. A king size bed is definitely the best choice for me – even when I don’t really need one.
