One Thing Leads To Another

I couple of weeks ago I was shopping in a new-to-me place in town, and antique boutique. They have vintage things, new decorative things, and some used furniture. I spotted a couch that is similar to what I thought I would like, IF I was buying a new one. I looked at the price tag...and looked again..."Now that's my kind of price!", I thought. I sat down on it..."My sweetie would like this", I thought. The sales lady said, "Remember that we have 20% off everything today." I thought, "Hello, new couch!!"

So for $111.20 ($139.oo-27.80) we have a new couch. Sweetie still needs a pillow for his back, but he loves it. Thank you, thank you, Lord!

We got $60, plus haul-off (which is priceless!) for our old stuff. Sweetie was very happy because he thought it was worth zero $. Of course then we needed chairs. I'll just say that it is a good thing we got a screamin' deal on the couch, because the chairs, not so much. But we love them. They are taupe and cream houndstooth check and very comfy. We also ordered an ottoman...can't wait to get it.I'm a very happy camper! I'm so blessed!!

  2. LOVE it...and the chairs! I would love a new couch....perhaps I need to add that to my prayer list!! We have a not-very-old one but it is big & brown and I am not sure what we were thinking when we bought it! I want something just about like what you were blessed with, something brighter & lighter. I had blue plaid before & thought I was thru with blue, but obviously I am not ;)

  3. Very pretty and great deal, too! It's nice when you can save enough money that you feel you can splurge a little on something else. Your living room is very peaceful and pretty. Diane

  12. Congratulations on the good deal, makes you love it even more doesn't it?! I recently ordered (long overdue) new furniture for the LR. It could be here as early as next week. I'm a little nervous I'll have buyers remorse, my favorite sofa and favorite fabric were not available together.
