I have to stop cleaning and spending time at home.....it gives me to much time to find all the things that drive me crazy in my house.

Is there such thing as comfortable wicker furniture that does not cost an arm and a leg? The last loveseat I bought at a yard sale was not all that comfy. I saw a darling sunroom in the latest BH&G magazine (I was sitting in the orthodontist waiting room) and now I am dreaming of wicker.

The love seat we have in the sunroom now is such an embarassment. It is oversized and all the slipcovers I have tried in the past just do not work. Maybe I will just have it re-upholstered.

I know what you mean Mary Chris about seeing the flaws in a house when you're in it too long!! (and btw I love that you have a beat up loveseat).

I LOVE wicker, but I stay away from it because I don't think it would survive my house. I'm thinking maybe I'll get a resin set for the basement or outdoors though...

I think I only like white wicker though. And sorry no recommendations.

Wicker. I liked it. And did find comfort. But it is hard to clean in this dusty house. The dust gets in all the little cracks and drives me crazy. Add in young kids jumping on it to sit--it isn't very strong. I prefer an old fashioned sofa--for now.
Just my 2 cents
