We recently looked at a line of sofas and settees by Old Hickory Tannery and they are all about the drama - from curvy lines and baroque flourishes to luxe finishes and details (linen, leather, nailheads, down-stuffing).

now i want to stretch out and read a good book until i drop off to sleep.

The only one I like is the one in the lead pic but boy, oh boy, do I ever like it! The styling of the shot with the art and the green cushions is fantastic!

There is something very wrong with the proportions of that second settee: the back reminds me of a tiny kid sitting at a tall table, just peering over the edge.

But, *sigh* I am lusting after the chesterfield in the third picture...

Please, it is ridiculous to buy sofas without testing them first. No matter how pretty they are. I learned that lesson the hard way. I have a to-die-for chocolate leather chesterfield from France, and it's suitable only for perching and putting on shoes, or leafing through mail.
