New Furniture

The section where the sunshine is will have another piece in a few weeks.
It will fill up to the windows

Yes, it wasn't so long ago that we had a new couch & love seat in our living room. Unfortunately, it met with a disaster, and although it could have been repaired, the fabric was discontinued. Long story short, we had purchased fabric insurance and this time it paid off! They refunded the ENTIRE purchase price of our couch, and we were able to choose another one.

After hitting the Lazy-Boy store three times, we finally decided, ordered, and waited this week for our new sectional. The first time we went up to Lazy-boy, we "thought" we knew what we wanted--thankfully, we slept on it, looked at fabric samples against our love seat, and chatted with Jen & Brady, who just purchased this same set we ended up with. We decided we were "settling" for something to try to match our love seat. So, back to Salem for a second trip, to look at something else, deciding that we need to look at what we like, not what will match what we have. It just wasn't working! Needless to say, we had seen a piece on our first trip that we liked a lot, but didn't think a sectional would work for us. We did some measuring, and lo & behold, it looked like it was custom made for our area. So, we ordered it, and just had to wait for our credit to arrive at the store for the old couch.

Tuesday after Miss Millie's funeral (our neighbor passed away the 25th of April after a short battle with cancer), we received a call that our credit was in, and we could order when we could get there to sign the credit. Being that Bill was home early for the funeral, off to Salem we went, surprised that they had the piece in stock (with the exception of the special order piece that will lengthen the other side) and could be delivered Friday! Wow....how exciting.

We spent Wednesday night deciding what to do with the old love seat.....Bill took off with the tape measure to the trailer. I knew what he was thinking...he's always hated the couch that came with the trailer. Guess what, it's a perfect fit. Now there is a love seat that is much more comfortable in the trailer, the only loss is that we can no longer use the sofa bed...BUT, we've slept plenty in those recliners, so they will serve as a good back up for extra sleeping if need be. We loaded the recliner in the trailer, and spent Thursday cleaning, moving furniture, and spring cleaning the living room. It looks great.Margaret & Linda....look how good Nain's table & Mom's chair look together!

New couch arrived today about 1:00---check it out!! YAHOO!
