Finding the right sectional.

For the past week I have been in Calgary visiting with my family.

A few years ago I shared a mini tour of my parents home during Christmas, but this week I have also been sharing a few glimpses into their home on my Instagram feed.

Their main family room is right off the kitchen. It is large, filled with natural light, and open to the rest of the home. Although they do spend a ton of time hanging out in this space, it isn't totally comfortable.

Since my parents will be empty nesters in a few short months, they really want to transform this space to something a little more functional. They would love to add a large comfortable (but semi-formal) looking sectional, a television, and a plush chair.

Selecting the right sectional can be so tough. I find many of them to be down right ugly, offered in less than desirable fabrics, or just plain uncomfortbale. Plus, when placing a sectional in an upstairs family room, it must have style.

So far my Mom is eyeing the Carlisle Sectional from Pottery Barn and I couldn't agree more.

The rolled arms, down filled cushions and exposed legs add character, comfort, and style. Plus I think it will fit in perfectly with my mom's traditional architecture and still give a slightly formal vibe.

I must admit, it isn't very often that I come across a sectional that I like.

But when I do find one I love, I can't get enough.
