get a new couch

I’ve been enjoying my new couch for several months now. I have to admit, when it was first delivered in April, I was a little disappointed. Firstly, it arrived several months late, and secondly, the fabric on the pillows wasn’t what I ordered. Turns out that American fabric companies have been going out of business due to Chinese competition, so the fabric I chose was no longer available. They were able to get some backstock of the main fabric, but just barely. In any case, this is the first new couch I’ve ever owned and it felt kinda weird. I was really in love with my old 20’s set, so a modern faux-old couch took some getting used to. The upside is that there are no painful springs, no dustmites, and the cushions aren’t flat. The couch is so comfortable and durable, in fact, that I just had my first couch surfing guest this weekend sleep on it. :P

Well I found a couch and had it ordered to my specifications, at long last. It is supposed to arrive sometime this month. I’m pretty excited. Already moved the living room around to get ready for it. Hope it turns out as cool as I think it will…

Finally found the couch we wanted in stock. We just have to zip the pillows up and put it where we want it.

I am looking forward to hours of loafing and cuddling!!!

i’ve actually gone out shopping for couches a few times over the past month. i found one online i thought was pretty cool, but when i drove all the way out to see it in person, it wasn’t quite as comfy as i had hoped. i’m trying to balance out aesthetics, comfort, and cost to make the best choice.

We didn’t get a totally new couch, but thanks to my best friends mom it’s new to us. It’s a nice, fluffy, pillowy couch that had been in her home for decades, but is still in perfect shape. We are very thankful to have a second couch for our gatherings. :)

I got a new olive green loveseat that matches my living room really good and it was cheeap!
