It's been many, many months since my good friend, Aubrey helped me get a clue about what to do with my living room/dining room space. I finally found furniture that would work for my vision!
I'd been looking on Craig's List for only a few days when I found the dining table. The seller was selling it with a patio set (love seat, 2 chair, and a coffee table). We bought both the patio set and the dining table set for a total of $350! Score!
Then, I found one of the chairs in here on Craig's List for $20, and the couch for $350. I couldn't be more pleased! Initially, I was having a hard time finding a couch that I really liked for under $800-1000. And, instead, thanks to people who gently used their furniture and then sold it to us at an amazingly low price, we got all the furniture in the rooms for what I was looking at for a couch!
We still need to change out the floor lamp, add another side table with lamp, two lamps to the bookcase behind the couch and a few accessories ... but all the large items are here! I love this room, and this couch is down filled and so fantastic for stretching out on while reading a book. It's now one of my favorite rooms of the house ... and I've told the children to "stay out!" I love having just one room that doesn't get touched by our chaos for when guests unexpectedly show up!
