Oxford Couch

Crate and Barrel no longer offers the Club Couch in the shade of leather that matches my armchair (from two seasons ago) as a stock item. I can special order it...for upwards of $4000. Um, for one couch? No thanks.

Here's an idea for a much more cost-effective alternative: an Oxford sectional, with a comfy chaise and a sofa bed in the non-chaise part.

Thoughts on this:
- is it too big for the space?
- what color would go best with a green wall, a brown leather armchair and a nearby kitchen painted that odd shade of reddish-mauvey-terracotta?

Too much slick leather?

I am besotted with these Crate & Barrel bar stools. But if I wind up with three of them in my kitchen, would it then be overkill to kit out my dining room with matching chairs? (Remember, there's no wall between the kitchen and the dining area.)
