first things first.

so, a living room/den update. first things first: a new [to us] couch that initiated the whole re-setup. what i wanted to purchase was this amazing green leather chesterfield from anthropologie.
but the price tag? $5,998.00 [don't you like how they so strategically make it $2 less than $6000? like that's in any way a less terrifying price?] literally, a couch that costs more than the hospitals charged us for our 2 children combined. insanity.

sooooo. what i purchased was this, for $200 bucks on craigslist. not necessarily awe-inspiring in her beauty, but real leather... a tiny bit worn, but cozy & relaxed, with a story to tell.
she'll fit right in with us.
& look at those lovely rolled arms & that big fat nailhead trim! my favorite.
& the perfect size for the wall in what is now our new den!
yikes, what a 'before' pic. i'm working on it!

p.s. if you're trying to re-decorate a room too, check out these coupons for overstock! i have found some really nice deals on furniture.
