Pocket doors allow the multi-functional family room to become a private main floor fifth bedroom for weekend guests. Ottomans are used in lieu of a coffee table, offering extra seating as well as surface space and allowing better traffic flow. The proportionally-sized custom wall unit with strategically placed angles and touch-latch doors (eliminating protrusions) leaves just enough functional floor space for the queen-size mattress to open comfortably.

A fresh take on traditional style, this sprawling suburban home draws its occupants together in beautifully, comfortably designed spaces that gather family members for companionship, conversation, and conviviality. At the same time, it adroitly accommodates a crowd, and facilitates large-scale entertaining with ease. This balance of private intimacy and public welcome is the result of Soucie Horner’s deft remodeling of the original floor plan and creation of an all-new wing comprising functional spaces including a mudroom, powder room, laundry room, and home office, along with an exciting, three-room teen suite above. A quietly orchestrated symphony of grayed blues unites this home, from Soucie Horner Collections custom furniture and rugs, to objects, accessories, and decorative exclamationpoints that punctuate the carefully synthesized interiors. A discerning demonstration of family-friendly living at its finest.

The Bolero sofa bed is ideal for people who value comfort and quality. Made in Spain by world-renowned manufacturer Famaliving, this sofa offers a customizable design with a slew of features. The quality of the 4" memory foam mattress is so good you will hardly believe it’s a sofa sleeper and not a Queen Size Bed with a tempurpedic mattress. As for the upholstery, you can pick any of our 600 fabrics to make it match your decor, or if you prefer, we also offer COM. The mattress comes in two sizes: 55" x 78" and 64" x 78"; but since it’s a 4" mattress you will need to use a Queen sized sheet no matter which option you go with. The optional chaise lounge side offers spacious storage for your bedding as well as the adjustable foot rest level that elevates your feet - a feature that provides supreme comfort while lounging. You have the option of a straight or curved-arm rest design, which provides an opportunity to make your sofa bed more Modern or Transitional. All famaliving furniture comes with the lifetime warranty on the frame and 10 years on the seat suspension system. We deliver Nationwide!
