Relaxing in Recliners

 We've waited for what seems like a long time to get our recliners.  

This isn't an ad but just the way it is -- once you've had a Lazy Boy recliner, you don't want any other brand of chair.  My parents had them and this is the third pair that I've bought. 
 
Pepper is notorious for scratching furniture, in spite of weekly claw clipping.  We've used all sorts of products and methods but she's a normal cat -- she likes to scratch things beyond just her scratching posts and pads.  She especially loves nubby, textured fabrics, which eliminated half the fabrics choices that Lazy Boy has. We ended up with a striped fabric that everyone likes -- except for Pepper (Yay!)
Their sofas are also well made.  Ed liked this one because it is long and the seat is deep.  Short people have to use a pillow behind them if they want their feet to touch the floor.  

The sofa and recliner that came with the house have turned our Florida room into another peaceful place to relax. 
 
My shell and sewing area is very convenient.  
 
What a lovely day to read and relax.
We watched Alley Oop, "our" alligator all morning.  Now, there are about 6 turtles out there but their little heads don't make for very good photos.

Look how nicely all the wood blends or matches! I really like the colors in the upholstery on your chairs. It appears to have a "slick" finish. The aqua couch is very restful and sets off both the neutrals and the finish of the wood perfectly.

The Florida room would be my favorite place to hang out! You've made a great craft/utility space. That couch has "afternoon nap" written all over it! I don't want to forget the wicker--it's beautiful.
