So, believe it or not, our family purchased furniture this past week. While this furniture is still second hand, it is actually something you will find in a furniture store today. We had gone shopping at furniture stores, but found the exact thing for 1/2 price on craigslist. The pictures are of our new set as posted on craigslist, not at our house.
When Don and I first married, we got two pieces of furniture from thrift stores for about $50 and have used them for close to 13 years now. When we moved into our house, I just couldn't bring myself to bring in the couch partly because I was afraid the bottom would demolish the wood floors, as I had seen what it did to carpet. We did use the love seat and a broken recliner.
Now we actually have a full set (couch, chair, and love seat) and they all match. They are really comfortable and make the house so homey. We love them. We feel so blessed to have a house and furniture, too. The Lord has really been blessing us lately. Also, thanks needs to go to our "counting mutant"(Mr. Magorium's wonder Emporium), who does such a wonderful job on our taxes making some of these purchases possible. Thanks Toni!!! Thanks also for the love from all of you. Mom, I knew you would be happy. Though I do get attached, it has been nice to move on.
Congratulations! It's a beautiful set, lucky ducks. You need to post photos of your home now that you're moved in. You've always had a knack for some great decorating. I want to see all the homey-ness:)
ReplyDeleteGreat furniture. It looks fabulous. Hope you are settling in well.
ReplyDeleteHey, way to go! I finally figured out how to be able to comment on your blog. Been missing you all a lot lately. Glad to hear things are working out with the new home. Can't wait to see it.
