I would love to do it though.

We got the 4-piece sectional first but it didnt give us the coverage we were looking for (the orig photo) so we contacted customer service and they ordered an additional armless loveseat which adequately fills that back wall. Everyone totally loves it, its always a convo piece. They do offer a 5-piece but it comes with two chaise lounges which isnt what we needed. If we have the same size family room, you will do better with the 4piece and the additional armless. I just checked to get a link for you and it looks like it is discontinued. Not that you possibly cant get a special order by contacting them, but basically a regular sectional with an extra armless love seat/chair will do the trick :) http://www.jcpenney.com/dotcom/jsp/browse/lot.jsp?lotId=7923872&catId=WebID&_requestid=2473367Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860646562578289413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200000753857029161.post-68195274203664960322013-01-19T08:35:12.777-05:002013-01-19T08:35:12.777-05:00Thanks for the great idea - you just gave me anoth...Thanks for the great idea - you just gave me another "honey-do" list item!<br />Also - where did you get your family room couch?
