Dream Sofa, large Sectional for our living room redesign

We have been searching for months for a great, comfortable, large, custom sectional.  We usually get leather, but over the years we have only had leather except for our family room sofa which is microfiber.  Pro's to leather it is easy to clean and it is cool.  Pro's to the microfiber is it is also easy to clean, our sofa is scotch guard treated, not sure if that is why but we have had many accidents and everything has cleaned up no problem.  Sofa belonged to a friend and when she moved I got it from her for a bargain, it was less then a year old.  We have had it five to six years and looks like new.  Con's to leather it can rip and tear especially with a cat, he does not have front claws but the back ones really leave some marks when he jumps to the back to look at window, which he loves.  I think the only con to microfiber is it can get hot but we have ac so that isn't a big deal.  My husband loves the leather but I think a fabric sofa is more comfy and looks nicer.

We looked at Macy's, then the furniture stores like El Dorado, City Furniture and Rooms to go.  I also love Haverty's we got our marble top dining set there and it is amazing quality.  Finding a custom sectional is not easy, we have a long living room with a large window and tv, we want something we can basically custom size by adding different pieces to make it one large bed almost when we move in the larger ottomans we want in place of coffee table.  I do not like glass or wood coffee tables anymore.  A ottoman is a must and one with storage for throws and toys is a bonus.  We found one we love at Crate and Barrel tonight when we were walking some shops killing time.  It is called the Axis and it has everything we want and more.  It is deep seating, comfy with down filling, made well and has so many fabric and color choices it is amazing, also we can order as many different combos as you could dream. Not sure if I am doing a brown, tan, blue or grey, thinking neutral just because my style and mood changes often, I redecorate more then you can imagine.  My house is changing often.

Below are some photos, we would do the chaise on one side then add a armless loveseat for the longer side along window.  I also love the textured microsuede chocolate color.  They have the storage larger ottoman too, which is what I have had a hard time finding with the previous sets I liked.  I think this is the one y'all.  Let me know what you think because after we reserve our cabin for summer vacation I think the following payday this will be my big purchase for the summer, since our bedroom is done and the next big project is our patio.  We are planning to lay stamped concrete patio deck around pool and extend for an outdoor kitchen, seating area and gazebo, tiki hut.  Hubby wants a tiki hut so bad lol.  Anyhow below are the photos and fingers crossed this one is the one we get, amazingly we both loved it.  Have a great weekend everyone=).

The sectional with chaise


Then we would add this armless love seat on the opposite side of the chaise to go along the large, long window.




This chair for the wall across from the sofa for extra seating and there is also a small ottoman we could get for this, but want the larger one, but maybe two of them so we can slide them in and turn sofa into a large bed for movie night with the kid's.


Larger ottoman and is available with or without storage.  Amazing set the photos do it no justice, there is a texture to the fabric with lighter and darker microsuede pattern
