Let's see ...
I put my dining room table & 6 chairs on craigslist a week ago. On Saturday a lovely woman came and picked them up and handed me $500 (I only paid $850 six years ago). While she was here she was talking about how much she loves Mission style furniture and how hard it is to find (???), so I offered that our two living room chairs could also be up for grabs if she was interested. She bought them for $150. They are old, beat up, and IMO - UGLY. We got them 2 years ago 2nd hand from SueC along w/her couch. We paid $750 for all 3 items, but in my mind I was paying for the 2 year old leather couch - and I never really liked the chairs. The leather was almost plum colored - and I'm not a leather girl anyway. The arms were scratched up and her 100 lb Golden used to sit on one and watch out the window. Those chairs were definitely passing time in my house until I could buy ones I liked.
I sold the DR table w/the intention of buying a desk to put in the dining room. I want to move the boy's computer up here so I can monitor what they're doing on it. And I think I've posted here before about the futility of having 2 big tables w/in 20 ft. of each other. We never, ever used the DR table other than for the boys to play Heroscape (our kitchen table can seat 8). I'd picked out the desk I wanted from World Market, so I went there around noon to pick it up. It's nice, sturdy, and wasn't very expensive, so if the boys muck it up, I won't lose my mind. http://www.worldmarket.com/Furniture/ho ... /index.pro
Then we went as a family to our favorite big-box store where we have an interest free account. Our plan was to get 2 chairs to replace the ones I sold. I wanted chairs that rock, but not an overstuffed man chair. I ended up buying one of these (NOT THIS FABRIC!) http://www.nfm.com/DetailsPage.ASPX?LVL ... D=26023044 Mine will be mocha colored w/a very muted, narrow stripe. And then we also bought a ..... sectional sofa! I can't find a picture online (their website doesn't have 1/2 the furniture they have in the store). It will be beige microfiber (I'm SO excited to be done with leather), w/accent pillows that have brown/beige and robin's egg blue on them. It's similar to this one http://www.nfm.com/DetailsPage.ASPX?LVL ... D=27857051 . It's definitely middle-of-the-road furniture cost/quality wise, and I'm fine with that. I live with the duo of destruction and 2 furry creatures, not to mention dh, and I'm really not interested in making a big furniture investment right now. I just want comfortable yet esthetically pleasing, and I'm really happy with what I picked out.
My sofa will be going up on craigslist in early May - the sofa is supposed to be in in mid-May.
Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE CRAIGSLIST!
