with the exception of torturing myself with how great it could be if we had ... you know ... a million bucks to dump into it to make it fabulous lol I'm sort of in a redecorating mode.
I currently have a sofa/loveseat in my living room that I got for $160 total from the second hand shop. I fully had plans of having the wood refinished and getting them reupholstered. They aren't terrible, but style-wise, they don't fit. Their condition is also ... acceptable, but not good or very good.
My goal is a sort of old victorian-esque style.
I found these on one of my multiple trips to craigslist

I talked to the woman who owns the store and they were purchased by the family in 1930 and had been in the same family. I get to have that almost 100 year old feeling without plumbing and electrical problems, right?
So .... what do you guys think? My biggest concern is smell. The $160 set that I bought absolutely stunk of cigarette smoke. I didn't realize it until after they delivered it. It sat outside most of the rest of the summer to air out. We didn't bring it in except when it was going to rain.
What else should I think about?
