Loveseat, not so Loving

The loveseat in my new apartment has been the center of much controversy for many reasons. First, it's a loveseat, not a couch. Bo is about 6 feet. There is not so much loving on the 4 foot loveseat. He either curls into the fetal position with sad eyes, rearranges the furniture to prop his feet on the side chairs, or lays on the floor. Breaks my heart!!!

Second, the couch is white - bright white. It does not match the decor, which causes me to dislike the couch almost equally as Bo, but for the lack of style it brings to my petite apartment. So, I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond in search of a slipcover to coordinate the loveseat better with my apt. The first cover wasn’t a Sure Fit stretch cover and didn’t fit snugly and “hug” the loveseat. I stuffed and straightened it for 20 minutes and in the end, it looked like a limp sheet. If no one ever sat on it, it worked. But how realistic is that? It took Bo about 5 minutes of tossing around to turn it into a ball of fabric. Wonderful. Two styles later, I think I have settled on a winner. What do we think?
