Now, this part is a secret—I haven’t mentioned it to Simon yet—but I have another new addition for the house in mind. While I was manning the booth at the aforementioned CEDIA Lifestyles show, I discovered the Elite Screens, who were displaying across from us, were also there under their SolaraHome brand, showing off their home theater seating. Their Elysium sofa is a curved model, which features fold-down armrests—to provide additional space for refreshments— transforming the sofa into two single recliners on each side with a love seat in the middle. While the love seat didn’t recline, there was a hidden floor-level compartment under the seat, and a matching ottoman with internal storage. Also on display was the Mirage L-shaped segmented couch, whose center seat backings fold down to become snack tables with cup holders. Very cool, indeed. The Elysium is available in black and dark brown 100 percent leather upholstery, and the Mirage is also available in beige. So, depending on exactly how I decide I want to set up my new room, I have options.

Ah...Shopping and home theater. Gotta Love it!
