Decorating with Leather
My friend Robert wanted to move in with his
sweetheart, and because his place was a studio,
they decided to live in her place. Now, Anna is a
lovely person inside and out, and she was really
happy that her relationship with Robert was moving
along at a steady clip. One day, Robert borrowed a
truck and they moved him in. He had twenty pairs
of Levis, a big stereo and an electric guitar and
a huge TV and a big computer set-up, and pretty
soon, it was clear to both of them that Anna’s
place wasn’t as big as they had initially thought.

But they didn’t want to get a new place because
Anna’s rent was amazingly cheap and they figured
they’d be moving in a year or so anyway. So Anna,
being a lovely person inside as well as out, made
room for Robert the best she could. She revamped
her closet, threw out a bunch of clothes and added
shelves for Robert’s things. She put her make-up
vanity in the garage and Robert nailed her
magnifying mirror to the bathroom wall so she
could still fret over her two invisible lines and
yank on her perfect eyebrows once in awhile.

Leather—the Classy Womens Accessory
Leather
makes great furniture, but it's also long been
considered the best choice for luggage, handbags
and other accessories. Aside from being most
durable, leather is elegant and acquires a
lustrous patina over time: leather bags can be
handed down over generations because it lasts and
looks wonderful. Wiping leather down with oil from
time to time helps it stay moisturized, but beyond
that, there's not much worry or when it comes to
caring for your leather accessories.
You'll spend more for a leather handbag or tote,
but it will wear so well that you won't regret
your choice. When leather accessories get old,
seams may become worn, but since leather rarely
gets torn, you can have stitching repaired with a
minimum of fuss. Leather adds panache to the
wardrobe and gets you noticed as someone who
appreciates quality. For all these reasons and
more, leather briefcases and wallets speak of
success.

leather accessories for
women at great discount prices.

But Robert was still out of his element. You see,
Anna had lived in the same place for five years,
and she had it fixed up very nicely, for a single
woman. Big ole’ Robert with his free weights and
large boots and all his guy toys looked silly
sitting around on Anna’s fragile, wrought-iron
dining-room chairs. I didn’t have the courage to
ask how he’d taken to the canopied bed in the
ultra-femme bedroom done in baby yellows and pale,
mint greens. In the delicate bathroom, the
apple-green-striped kitchen, the velvet and silk
living-room, Robert just didn’t fit.
So Anna did the only thing she could think of. She
bought Robert an ottoman. Not just any ottoman: it
is big, big enough for a pair of size-twelve feet
and the Times and a man-sized coffee mug. It’s
made of rich, dark leather, very masculine. It
takes up twenty-five percent of the living-room,
but Anna doesn’t care. That ottoman is more than a
great piece of furniture, it’s a statement of
confidence. It’s also a step in the right
direction, which was what Robert needed after
losing his bachelor pad and his freedom to eat
pizza for breakfast. It’s rough on a guy, coming
face-to-face with himself surrounded by pastels
and gilt and posies. Anna did just the right
thing: she let him know that her home is his home
too. Next week, they’re going to start shopping
for a matching leather chair.
