Wherein Zeno Tells You Your Furniture is Blasphemous

Hi Zeno!
I don't know how to post replies in color so will just post like I always do
I think you should hold another contest in 3 months. By then maybe I could enter and win! (but please reassure me that I don't need to hang animal heads on my wall to be in the running).
Your comment about my sentence structure made me snort!
Give me your opinion on carpet length. I want it to look classy yet inviting enough to where people want to roll around on it. Prefer multiple color threads so as not to show dirt, lint, or vomit. I want a wall-to-wall that is stylish and oozes sophistication without making me look like a snob. lol. Thoughts? Right now my carpet is green (stop laughing)
I never show my dog in public, EVER, due to his very poor social manners. He's an embarrassment, to be honest.
So you and Mack are voting "no" on the sleeper option?
I will try to clean up my living room this weekend and post a pic of it. Have been very busy the last couple days at work, putting up with patients and coworkers who are both driving me to tequila.
In the mean time, here is a picture of my dog without clothes on. (Isn't he cute?!)
I believe this sofa needs to go. Am I right?
I really like the 2 sofas you posted earlier in the thread. But pretty sure they would not work in our little 1930's brick house (style-wise, that is). We want the rooms to look warm and cozy, like something a college professor might have, updated obviously. Right now the theme kind of screams white-trash-meets-poor-college student. Would like something that elicits praise along the lines of "oh this is so tasteful and yet you made it feel so cozy!"

Do you have dog shows in your home? Do you have a show dog? The carpet and sofa should be chosen based on an overall scheme for the room and home, not on some random domesticated animal that only clutters up the furnishings, vomits on the carpet, and uninates on the sofa. Nevertheless I will do what I can. Post a pic of the dog, fully naked.

Envision who will be sleeping on it. If you want them to leave after one night, you need an uncomfortable sleeper. If you want them to stay a long time, you need a comfortable one.
The most comfortable sleepers are the futon holders that fold up into a couch, but they look kinda crummy--like a dorm room.
The carpet you are looking for is called a 'rainbow shag'. It was mass produced until, say, 1969, then consigned to oblivion. After vacuuming a 12x12 room, the average rainbow shag would provide a good pound and a half of seeds. (This was in the days before sinsemilla.)

It is time for this thead of well more than three years ago to be bumped. And bumped hard.
Because:
1. MrWookie is now married and, apparently, now has a woman living with him False
2. I want to know if he still has that vile couch True, and it is still very comfortable. And K owns an uglier couch.
3. Mr. and Mrs. Wookie should be setting up house and they need my advice False
4. Fish won the first "best of Lounge furnishings reality draft" and it may be time for an update.
5. I can't f**king believe that it has been this long ago, 3.5 years, that I did this - life moves too fast when you get older. True.

And yes, that sofa must go ASAP (I will reserve comment on the curtains until a full pic of living room is available). You can consign the sofa to the local empty lot for teenagers to have sex on, or by the local dumster, or in your garage, or backyard as you see fit - or better yet just send it to Mr. and Mrs. Wookie; I believe they collect them.

I know right? Exciting as hell but I'm stressing out because I want to make every room look perfect and don't know how. I'm afraid I will **** it up. I have too many old mismatched pieces. They don't work together but not sure how to throw them out. I need a designer to tell me how to arrange each room. Like how do you know where to put the sofa? And what about 2 sofas, is that a good idea for a big space?
I remember years ago when one of my cousins came to visit and told my mom that her house would be really cool if it were decorated properly. She was annoyed as hell by that comment.
Why don't you splurge and buy a sofa?

My living room furniture consists of 2 old mismatched recliners, neither of which work right, parked in front of a big tv. I don't recommend this setup.

If I ever decide to rejoin society, a sofa will be my first order of business. That and trimming my beard a little.
I think it makes my parents feel bad when they visit. They keep threatening to give me one for Christmas.

Katy, do you have a Swedish/Scandanavian furniture/design shop anywhere near? You want to look at their showrooms. And I don't mean IKEA.
Take a look at this website as an example.
