Furniture!!

Well we needed a couple new pieces for the following reasons. First, when we bought furniture for our first house we got two sofas because really, sofas usually don't cost much more than a loveseat, so upgrade for another $50 we did. Now in our new house, we're thinking that we want to keep it open and having two large sofa's in the family room is just going to be too much. So we wanted to get a loveseat to go in the family room with one of the sofas. Well.. of course the line we bought from was discontinued and our couches are brown. So we ended up with this cocoa love seat. Just cabinets was having a massive moving sale and we got it for a steal! I checked out unclaimed freight and wolf's furniture before hitting this jackpot! And though Alex didn't see it, he approved it via picture text and it's very comfortable to sit in. The color will go well with the other brown sofa, and though the styles are very different, i think it will turn out ok!

Second, we now have an eat in kitchen, so we needed a table. Our friends Matt and Marci have a really cute pub table and so we wanted to get something similar in height but have the style match our current dining room set, at least in the wood stain. So we hit the jackpot again at Just Cabinets with something that's very similar to our dining room wood stain, the only difference is that the chairs have black leather cushions. It didn't come with the bench or the table extension, though i'm sure we could buy this if we wanted.. the eat in kitchen doesn't have that much space so we don't want to crowd it. Just 4 stools and a table. Another steal! We're very excited!

So that does it with the furniture needed. As the week goes on, the house is being packed up by Alex's mom/aunt/uncle for the sale on Saturday. By Saturday evening, the house should be relatively empty and hopefully by Sunday all cleaned up and completely empty. Just so excited to start unpacking what we've already moved into the basement and start moving in some furniture. We get our new stuff next Thursday so we'll probably take it there right away and set it up!

And here's a picture of part of the house i took the other day from the car while waiting for Alex.
I'm going to work on getting better photos when we actually have everything moved in a couple weeks from now.
Almost the weekend!
Happy Thursday!
