See the fraying on the seats? See the tops of all the back pillows? She had a very good life. She was once my parents. Then, they got a new couch set, and like that, I got my first matching couch ever! My couch came from the DI, for 5 dollars, and I was very, very happy to see that thing go. (It was orange!) This girl here, had a sister. We lost her in a flood though. :( So.
My parents were thinking about a new couch set....
Hubby said, OH NO! I am not getting another hand me down couch. (He really loves this one... he spends a lot of nights on it. hee, hee)
So, off we went to the couch store. Mind you, we've been doing this for over 3 years. We just cannot agree on a couch. He wants leather, I wanted quilted. Dang. So, in we go.
They had this one there. I knew Hubby loved it. Me, not so much. I really had my heart set on the quilted yellow floral print, but I knew that wasn't ever gonna happen in this lifetime. SO... I did the unthinkable. I actually agreed with my Hubby on something! (imagine!) We got to bring him home. He's chocolate and carmel leather, and the pillows are green paisley. OK!!
Look. He even had a little brother!!
This is my first NEW couch set since I have been married. (that 18 1/2years for you who don't know...) So, I am very excited. It fits the house perfectly!
I called my parents to tell them. Mom says, what have you been doing? I said, Oh, just moving furniture. Mom say, Keers, remember what you told me is wrong with people who move furniture all the time? I said, Yep. They are sexually frustrated. But mom I say. This is new furniture. She started screaming in my ear! Yep, happy day. Then she starts giggling, your husband she says, he really didn't want our old couch did he! :)
Hope you like!
love love LOVE!!! I'm with you... I need a new couch too but seems like unless I find one at a thrift store I'm out of luck. Don't they make country upholstered couches anymore??? It looks like you have found a wonderful compromise. Congratulations. Hope your hubby enjoys sleeping on his new bed. :D hee hee hee *wink* :D
