Movin' On Up

After we finished our wainscoting project, we immediately started thinking about what home project on our list would be next. We ended up deciding that furniture for the music/foster kitten/storage/christmas tree/foster dog/exercise room (also known as our formal living room) was next up on the list. So, we've been scouting various furniture websites and stores without much luck.

Then, on Valentine's Day, we decided to have an extremely romantic date and head to Costco. While we were loading a box of 800,000 K-cups into our cart, a sectional sofa caught our eye. Not only did it look comfortable, the right size, and the right color, but it had been marked down more than $200, making it extremely affordable. We flopped down onto it, talked for about 2 minutes, and said...SOLD!

We grabbed a friend's truck, and because it is a sectional, each piece wasn't heavy at all and we had all the pieces loaded and unloaded by ourselves in no time. One of our friends has dubbed it the "cuddle zone" and I totally agree. It is SOOOOOO comfortable, and I've already taken a nap on it, watched tv on it, played guitar on it, and read books on it so I'd say it's a keeper! It also allows us to use the Mac as a "TV" and watch Netflix or stream shows online, which has been really fun.

Here it is after we "accessorized" it a bit with things we already had around the house. 

The only pieces left in this room are to figure out the wall color, get an area rug (this one is here only temporarily), and figure out wall hangings.

But I'm excited to finally say, after 2 years, that there are no more empty rooms in our house...which is a big deal for us, considering that we'd previously been apartment dwellers with virtually no furniture.
