Thanks!

Patty,
You saw a little bit of ours in the pic. However, I had to lighten it and it looks a little pale, but it's a light green. I might suggest that you not take anyone's colors too serious unless it was built in the last 4 months as they change colors very quickly. Most are obsolete in short order. I will really commend Excel for getting some nice color combos and decent decorating ideas recently. It's been a long time coming. IMHO Excel's focus has been on a high quality, great insulated rig, that was very simply appointed (clean and simple). Now they including a bit of classy touches. Not fluffy, but classy stuff that most baby boomers are demanding. When you go out and look at some of these $50,000 SOB that make you almost faint cause they are so plush-looking on the inside, open a basement door or cabinet and see what they are made of. The glits and lights suddenly lose their luster! Basically you get what you pay for.

Hi Again Tom, Yes, I think that you're right. I definitely don't plan on taking anyone's color choices seriously. Just curious! AND yes, I don't like really froo froo stuff either!

Thanks again,

Patty

We were at PPIR here a couple of years ago and they had some spendy coaches on display. Patty opened one of the cabinet doors and that thing vibrated for 15 seconds, almost shook her hand off. Real quality, not.

We have the Bronze Suede shown in the 2008 brochure.

It was really our only choice, since I didn't want a print fabric on the couch. However, I really like the colors.

We've since changed out the recliners that came with the rig (and which were covered in the Meditation fabric) for solid-color leather recliners in a dark wine color that matches the wine in the Meditation fabric that's on the valences and in the area rugs we have scattered around.

Hi Linda, Thanks for letting me know what colors you chose and why. Sounds like they are working good for you! It's a hard decision, isn't it?

The dark wine leather recliners sound really lovely! I realize that they didn't come with your Excel tho.

Thanks!

Patty
