Allen<\/a>. \u00a0I was really nervous about the navy, but thanks to all of your comments and encouragement about navy, I went for it.\u00a0 I&#8217;m so glad I did.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img

in terms of a sofa, but it is so smooth.\u00a0 I love it. \u00a0Plus, something has already spilled on it, and the clean up was super easy.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t start out planning to buy this particular sofa.\u00a0 In fact, I visited the Ethan Allen store to see another sofa in person, but this one caught my eye. \u00a0I worked with a <a href=\"Porscha.Coney@ethanallen.com\" target=\"_blank\">great designer,<\/a> and we planned out the final touches to the sofa. \u00a0I really enjoyed how I could customize it with the fabric.\u00a0 She also gave me great suggestions for the rest of the room.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35605\"

replace our loveseat and add recliners that don&#8217;t look like recliners. \u00a0I moved the loveseat out and brought in two chairs to get the feel and Yankee and I really liked how it opened up the room and made it feel more airy.\u00a0 We also need lamps, a coffee table, plants, and more art, but those things will come in time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

at Marshall&#8217;s. \u00a0The coral pillows are by Jim Thompson, and Yankee and I actually bought them when we were in on <a href=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/2013\/04\/04\/our-thai-cooking-class\/\">vacation in Thailand<\/a> a few years ago. \u00a0This was even before we started the adoption process, so now I really like having them and using them. \u00a0The pink one I found at HomeGoods.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35607\"
