I’m in Love with Cory…
I’m in love with Cory and all the things he does for me. I can’t believe I just wrote that sentence, but it’s true. Cory has been with me for about two months now and he has easily won over my heart.
Honest, I’m not cheating on my husband. Cory is our rolling storage ottoman from La-Z-Boy. He scoots up close to our sofa and holds my feet after a long day. During the day, we spend a lot of time together, because this has become my favorite spot to blog.)
Before I go on gushing about Cory, I should tell you that this is a sponsored post for La-Z-Boy and they let me custom design Cory for my home. But, I never realized how much I would love him until he came into my living room.
When the La-Z-Boy design consultant first recommended an upholstered ottoman, I was hesitant. I worried that we wouldn’t have anywhere to set our drinks. But, she told me that I just needed to give Cory a tray to hold drinks and other necessities.
The tray is a wonderful thing because it keeps our remote controls corralled. Previously, our coffee table used to become a big mess of magazines, mail and several buried remotes.
I also worried that an upholstered ottoman would look like a big elephant in the room.
Far from it. He is the perfect size to provide leg rest for up to three adults. Cory can also be wheeled around and used for extra seating when we have guests.
But, the thing I love most about Cory is this:
He hides an abundance of pillows and blankets. There are plenty of wii remotes and games under that pile of pillows as well.
Although, I discourage the kids from playing inside Cory, I can rest at ease because there are two generous air holes on the bottom and the hinges hold the weight of the lid at any angle.
I hope you understand why I fell so hard for this gorgeous guy. He is beautiful to look at and he never complains when dinner isn’t ready. I think I’m going to enjoy having him around for a while.
Don’t you want your own personal Cory, too?
Be sure to stop by next week. I’ve been giving you some sneak peeks of the living room makeover, but I’m finally going to show you the whole room. You won’t want to miss it.

I love the one with the patterns that look like a rusty colored flower. It said Cedar G996007 and I hope that’s the right one. It’s a bold bright print that would liven up my brown leather couch. I need color!
Love a big footrest and really love the storage!!
The watercolor floral would be awesome in my house. Loving Aqua as an accent color lately.
I’d love the black geometric print.
I need one of these babies! Love the navy with stars (starfish?) fabric!
I would love my own “Cory” to have in my home. I would pick oatmeal.
This is gorgeous! I would love a Cory! I think the Tiffany fabric would look amazing!
Gorgeous! I would love this in the bayberry pattern in Glacier.
Love, love, love this ottoman!!! Josie is my favorite print. I so need this for my family room!
How practical! The blueberry looks like it would go well with my patterned chairs.
I’m in love with that orangey/rust Sugarland print. I absolutely love it.
Oh weird. When I first pulled it up, it said Sugarland but that’s wrong… IT IS TANGO. Which makes more sense, haha
What an awesome ottoman! My favorite fabric is Alamo. This would be a great addition to our living room and would certainly help keep all those extra throws and pillows clean when not in use.
I love the fabric you have (Ikat Fret Q104195). This would be perfect for my living room with little kids! 🙂
I definitely want the olive one – something mid-century modern. This looks amazing!
I love the Biltmore fabric. Did my living rooms in teals and greens so it would be perfect!!
