We Got Furniture!

Remember this post? http://thepoolsbuildahome.blogspot.com/2009/05/we-got-walls.html

Well, Dave and I had another singing and dancing moment last night.

We bought furniture! Yep, adult furniture! We made another trip to Omaha to the Furniture Mart and came home with a receipt and promised delivery date of October 17th!

We scored a shelf and bench for the entry from the garage to the house:


We purchased a king sized bed! No more elbows in the back (or so Dave thinks). Please note that we did not purchase that ugly bedding!


We bought a table and chairs and 2 matching barstools for the bar.

Best of all, we purchased a couch and matching ottoman. This couch actually sits on legs, not bricks, and you don't have to roll onto the floor to get out of it! Imagine that.

I'm not knocking our red couch. We will be proudly keeping it. It will live in the basement though I told Dave he'll have to bring it upstairs when I'm sick because it's so comfortable to sleep on!

We definitely need a few more items. We'd like a couple of chairs and some end tables for the living room, a dresser and night stands for the bedroom and something for the sunroom, but this was an excellent start!
