Leather Living Room Furniture - Just Be Careful

When my family and i moved into our first home

, we decided to buy leather room furniture, because both of us were big fans. It was just the two of us at the time, and the furniture store delivered it to our home and set it up for us.

We enjoyed it for 3 years, with no accidents or problems of any type, and then my son was born. We thought that it would be fine if we were just careful not to let him sit on the couch without something underneath him, and certainly nothing to drink, but we soon found out that babies find a way.

My wife was feeding him one day when he was just a couple of months old, and he spit up onto the couch. It's almost a relief at the time. We were constantly concerned about the leather room furniture, and now that it had happened, it was as if we could relax a bit.

Just a couple of years, the beautiful sofa we had so treasured had juice stains on it, crayon scribbles and even a few tears. You see, when he was teething, one way that my son could always find relief was by gnawing on arm of the sofa.

It was not too bad, because the rest of the leather living room furniture we had was still in pretty good shape, and we would always point to our son when people would ask about our sofa. Then our daughter came along, and eventually, other furniture started to resemble our sofa.

We started to place quilts over the sofa and chairs, and naturally, we would get the strangest looks. People could simply not realise why we would be covering up leather room furniture with throw blankets. Then we would show them the furniture, receive the same pitying look, and the same one-word question - kids?

When we moved to our second home, we did not realize how careful you should be with leather when you are moving it, and it was in even worse shape when we got to our new house. It was a little depressing until my family and i stood there and watched our kids playing on it and having a ball. They had grown up with that furniture, and it did not matter what shape it was in to them.

We did get rid of the leather furniture eventually, and our current living room set is in much better shape. Of course, the kids are older and not as messy as they once were. I would still love to have leather living room furniture in my house one day. I think I will just be sure that the kids are out of the house before I do so.
