We've had a nice, comfortable futon in our living room for a while. It was a hand-me-down from my In-laws. It didn't really match my decor, though, and I think most people would rather not sit on a futon when they come to my house. Thanks to the powers of Craigslist, I was able to trade the futon for a fistful of cash and finally bought some new furniture this weekend.
See? A new chair and loveseat.
The chair we acquired on Saturday from a furniture consignment shop having a grand opening. I spotted it after visiting nearly all the thrift shops in town. I'm pretty sure angelic voices sang and the heavens shone down upon this perfect chair. At least that's how I felt after hours of fruitless shopping.
The loveseat I found listed on Craigslist on Saturday night and we picked it up Sunday afternoon.
Now, here's the living room:
See how the light blue chair matches Monet's painting in the background? The other wingback we purchased at Goodwill for a song some time ago. It needs a lot of therapy, but we still like it. By the way, the coffee table is from a yard sale and the rug is one I crocheted.
Oh, do you see a girl in the corner there? She's cooking mini pizzas for lunch and talking to me. She's probably ranting about politics.
