We got the the point though where we decided we were ready for something bigger and newer (and not blue since most of you know I am a green person really). I posted the couch on craigslist and in 18 minutes it was sold to a person offering to come pick it up within 2 days and pay cash for it - at the asking price! Also, the asking price was only about $10 less than we paid for it 6 years ago, so we felt like we got a great deal too!
The furniture sold on Monday and they came and got it on Wednesday. They were super happy and kept saying what a great deal it was. They totally would have paid more for it!
The house was empty and sad after the couch and chair left. I think it had the blues (ha ha). We actually pulled our gimpy air mattress down (it deflates quickly) and set it up so we would have something to sit on and fill the room up a bit until we got furniture.
We had been shopping for furniture for awhile and not really found anything we were crazy about that was not uber expensive and that was in stock, so we didn't buy anything. Finally, when we found out Aaron's parents were coming out we decided we would get any of the pieces of our desired sectional that we could and we would wait for the others.
We changed configurations about a zillion times, and when we went to get the 1-2 pieces we could on Wednesday, we found that they had ALL of our pieces in! Hooray! Here is the finished product:
It's microfiber, so it should stay good looking for awhile. I think it will look great once we get the room painted and those pillows recovered (triple eww). Stay tuned to see the finished room when we get it done! (Hopefully soon!)

Nice couch! You will love it cause they are comfy! My favorite spot on ours is the corner piece....but we don't have a chaise! Lucky duck...
Good choice on the microfiber. Our couches are leather (great, too) but our dinning room chairs are microfiber. I was a little worried about having fabric where kids would be eating, but it realy does clean up as nice as they say. I got a little spot cleaner vaccum & it cleans them is a jiffy!
I'm jealous. We were stupid and got some woven fabric couches that looked nice but haven't held up that well. Plus it's hard to cuddle. Looks like you and Aaron can do lots of cuddling on that puppy!
Pretty Dev! I love it! I also love your new pretty background! (I guess you ended up taking you older sister's advise after all!)
Love the pic of the couch driving away in the rain like it is some scene from "Beaches" or something. "...And I think it's gonna rain today"...
Love all the pictures...so what's this about a new truck?!
