New furniture!

Okay, I admit it. I'm not what many would call the typical woman when it comes to shopping. I know what I want and if I don't see it, I move on. Shopping with my mom kinda irritates me, lol. She has to look at everything! I can't do it.

Well, today within 2 minutes of walking into Sofa Mart, I found my new living room furniture. I found it online too and sent a pic of the color/print choice to my husband so he could see it. The online photo only had the style, not fabric choices. So I took a picture on my cell phone and emailed it to him along with the link to what the set looked like.

I had a whole day planned, with several shops to look at, but I decided this was "the" set and I will stick with it. It's soooo comfortable and really looks like a "Becky and Mark" set of furniture.

Now, I just have to go back up there and order it. I'm paying cash, no financing this set. Woot! And no, not with my stimulus check which won't be here for a few more weeks. My husband re-enlisted and got a bonus. So it will hit our account friday, I'll go buy my furniture saturday and can't wait to see it in my house!

My old sofa and my end tables now belong to my good friend Laura. She lived here the past two months while she got back on her feet from a bad relationship. She moved to her own place this weekend with her almost 5 year old little boy. She needed a sofa and some end tables. What's funny is my husband and I originally planned on getting new furniture about this time last year. But for some reason never got around to it. Life is funny sometimes isn't it?

I can't wait to see it! Is it comfy enough to sleep on? Hee!HEE!

Probably. Not as wide or long as my old couch but I could see someone sleeping on it pretty easily. It really is nice!

The color is called "lady canyon" it's striped in earth tones like sage, canyon red, tan, etc. I'll show pics to those here this weekend.
