We rounded up our top contenders in that same post and over the past couple weeks we have mulled over the choices and weighed out the pros and cons, and some of you weighed in too–thanks for that!
After nixing for price (we weren’t wanting to spend anywhere close to a grand), and color (the room is going to have enough white/cream once the map is moved–that’s happening), we decided on dark, modern, visually open number one. If you follow us on Facebook, you know we ordered it on Tuesday and to our surprise, it arrived yesterday! Three cheers for fast delivery.
The 60″Andalucia Large Dark Brown Leather Bench was on sale on Overstock for $187 (score!) and it was just what we were looking for. We love the mix of materials–the steel legs, walnut base and dark chocolate leather looks. go-ood. And it feels good on our feet, too. Uh, all of our feet…
As tempting as it is, we are going to try not to spend our whole weekend with our feet up. But there may be some lounging in the midst of yard work, zoo-going and dinner with friends. What are you up to?
Hi there! How is the ottoman bench holding up so far? I was considering that piece as well as another and happened to come across your blog while researching (and looking for more photos). Thanks for posting by the way, it helps to see furniture in action.
We still have it all these years later!
Love this. Ahhhh I am so jealous right now. We have an all wood coffee table and it is NOT fun. I love the rich color and that it really is going to hold up nicely over the years. This would be nice at the foot of a master bed frame or something too….I’ve always wanted a bedroom big enough to have a bench at the foot of my bed :-) Somedaaaay
bahahaha, that last picture of Greta just kills me! Her little belly! You guys should lounge. You totally deserve it! Be lazy. Come down to my level… ;)
It looks fantastic!! The PERFECT choice :)
That one’s a winner for sure. I love how the stripes in the curtains pop out to me now. Excellent choice! Can’t wait to see your final after photos!
And that Greta… too cute for words. :)
