Yay - we bought a couch

Ladies I'm just so excited that I have to share.  Hubby and I bought a couch last night which doesn't seem so exciting on the surface but this is one of the first items that we own that wasn't previously owned by someone else.  One of the big furniture vendors in our area just opened a new warehouse that is full of overstock items, scratch and dents, and sorta the onesie twosies that they get from vendors who just want to get rid of them.  Very few things were what I would call "ugly" and most everything was very on trend.  Who cares if you get last year's model?!  We had a budget set and came in $300 under that which makes me thrilled because now we can splurge a little bit when we get a refrigerator next month under the new "cash for clunker" deal on appliances. 

Re: Yay - we bought a couch

  • Yay! I completely felt the same way when we got our new couch after the wedding! We have been using hand-me-down couches kitchen table, tv, pretty much everything! We went out a few days after the wedding totally re-did the furniture in our living room and dining room and I love it!! I just got new place mats for our table...I seem to  update them all the time now since we have a 6 person table and not a 2 person anymore!

  • ugh - couch is halfway inside.  DH is returning the rental truck and I'm just looking at it forelornly. I know it will go through but it is taking a lot longer than planned.  ugh -shoulda paid the $100 to have them do this work.  LOL
  • GL! That is the worst!

    We almost lost our sofa the last time we moved. We did get it in (with some minor damage) but it definitely not coming back out in one piece :(. Oh well, I suppose we'll want new furniture when we get a house, right?

    Hubby is mad at himself because he gouged the heck outta the wood stuff on the bottom and dented the front door but it is in and it is beautiful. Who cares if I have to re-stain the bottom - nobody is going to look that closely!  We did have to take off the legs AND the base but it finally went.  *phew*

  • Glad to hear it! And you are right, no one will be looking at the bottom :).
  • A couch is the first thing DH and I bought together too!  I was so nervous about such a big purchase because we had been living together for a while, but we weren't engaged yet.  DH was so calm about it, but it turned out that 2 days later, he proposed! :)  Maybe your new couch will bring you luck too!  Haha!
