We Support America's Cattle Ranchers

No one can say that we don't support our country. We are contributing to the economy and supporting the cattle ranchers. They probably bred, birthed and raised the cows while we were waiting for this couch to be made. However, our long wait is over. The hide was finally ripped from the cow, tanned, stretched over some wood and fluff and is in our family room. We like it, but I'm still getting accustomed to seeing it in our house. Now I need a coffee table, end tables and lamps. Oh, and I think we need to paint our family room, too. I've always loved the color, but now with the couch in there it kind of needs a different hue. Maybe I should change my curtains. What do you think? Last night all five of us were all stretched out on the couch and yet we had plenty of room. Except for the fact that Lily and Spencer were on top of me, the rest of us couldn't even reach each other.

Wow!
I love it.
I have always wanted leather furniture. It feels and smells so good when you sink down into the skin of Old Bossy.

Laura,

OH MY HEAVEN'S!!!! That is the most beautiful cow I have ever seen! And he looks so very handsome in your family room. I can't wait to meet him in person.

For real, way to go on picking the couch. Looks like the kind that will look more and more wonderful as time goes by. I'm jealous!

It's SO BEAUTIFUL and definitely worth the wait!!! You'll have to name it. LOL!
Brett - Wishful thinking! Sorry but your days of Sunday naps are gone for about 6 yrs.! Don't worry, I'll take an extra long one for you. ;)

Absolutely beautiful. I love it. I would go for new curtains. I am always in support for something new!

It looks very comfortable! I think I agree with Deb, go for new window treatments. Is there room for a table or would that interfere with Lily's space on the floor? I like the group of pictures on the wall, a paint color change might be better, but I don't think really necessary.
