Furniture!
Tuesday, June 30, 2009
Okay, like I said earlier, I jump the gun...I'm ready to admit it and not ashamed. Therefore, I have picked out new furniture for our "new home." I only say "new home" because closing isn't until August 7th, so anything could possibly happen between now and then...but, fingers crossed...
Here are a few finds! Do you all know about Overstock.com? They ship most anything for 2.95 or LESS, even furniture!! And, it is always cheaper because it is "extra" from the manufacturer. Did you know how hard it is to find the perfect tv table?? One that is high enough, long enough, and not too deep?? Phew...needless to say I was thrilled to find this one at $300 with next to free shipping. I did find a few others at JCPenny, but their shipping charges were astronomical! Look at this pretty TV table, which we desperately need whether or not we move into this particular home.
And, I love this rug! At $160 you can't go wrong. It has the colors of our living room (the walls will be green and we will have wood floors). I looked at the reviews online and they said the colors are really a nice dark red and green with gold and ivory tones. Love it! Muted and understated, but still very traditional.
I couldn't figure out how to upload the next two pictures. But, one is a beautiful trendy mirror that I'd like to hang over the couch to make the room seem bigger. I love that it is a bit on the modern side, but still very classy looking.
And, this is a really neat headboard. We can't afford an entire frame right now, but West Elm also sells bed frames, so when we are ready and willing, we can buy the frame separately and the pieces will match! I love the design and the furniture in our bedroom is dark cherry wood.
OK...that's all for now. Let me know what you think!

Glad you found me! Its fun to have new blog friends! Love the headboard. I am trying to find a new headboard as well so I will def. take a look at that website!
Love it all. And yes, I do know how hard it is to find the perfect TV table... at our old house one whole wall was brick (with a built in on one side)...That's the wall you'd put the TV on...We had to get a plasma (my husband was so disappointed...ha) so that we could mount it above the fireplace. The HARD part was finding a small TV cabinet that would fit in about 34 inches on that wall for all of the "stuff" (DVD players, stereo, satellite box, etc.)... WHAT a nightmare. For the first 4 months (I am not even kidding) all of those things were stacked on top of each other sitting on my living room floor while we searched for exactly what I had in mind. FINALLY we found the perfect piece...then we moved 2 years later. HA... Now use it for the TV in our bedroom...(but I didnt know about Overstock back then and we didnt get it for $300.00 either...)it's one of those pieces I'll be stuck with for 20 years to get the money out of it! Ha ha... :) I also love the mirror, too... I cant wait to see pics of your "new home" & I'm hoping nothing falls through before Aug. 7th!
