Sure they look good, but you just have to feel them...

artielange, your new sofa and chairs look wonderful, you made great choices and there's a really relaxed and comfortable feeling to the room. Congratulations! Your pictures are an inspiration to others, including me, so thank you for sharing.

Thank you, Mountainlion. I hope some of my choices in H & M inspire people to look beyond the brown leather. Many other colors work well as neutrals.

Hey Artie....

Bet you could sell that September sofa in Document to that nice young lady in West VA posting here looking for a piece on a budget, since Deep Creek doesn't sound too far from her.

Then you can call me up and order a new piece for the lake house in the leather you want! I'll even make you a deal - sell her your September and I'll help out by getting you a new one a one grade less in price than whatever you pick out (i.e., get a Capri (GR 4) and you get it at GR 3). Pay it forward and all that...lol

That's a very generous offer, Dr Collie, but I need a sofa and a loveseat...this is sounding very expensive!!

I'm glad you posted the picture. I was uncomfortable choosing lighter leather colors originally, but based at least partly on your pic I selected a H&M Carmen Sofa in the burnished tan Cameo. It was well beyond what I intended to spend, but it really was pretty stunning in the showroom. I hope it works as well as yours when I finally receive it.
