Couch Potato

In 1996 my college apartment caught fire. It went down in the glory of a 6 alarm fire. Everything was lost, including a new-to-me 8 foot couch that was my prized possession. Later that week, my roommate and I purchased a used couch set for very cheap. It was comfy enough and just cute enough to not be ugly (at the time at least). Over the years, the set turned into just the love seat. This has been our couch--like it or not--until today.

As I blog, I am sitting on the couch that has been my dream since I first spotted it at Crate and Barrel. My sister and I would go there for the sole purpose to sit on it (she has a dream couch there too). It was out of reach until Jeremy and I found it at Haverty's. For over a year we have been measuring and debating and figuring out just how we would get this couch. His parents even gave us the money for it Christmas of 2007. On Saturday, we decided enough was enough and we bought it. With quick delivery, we got it today.

One problem....Our living room is very narrow and the couch swallows it whole. We can no longer call this our living room but rather the couch room. But it is beautiful and everything I hoped for.

So, welcome to adulthood, Meat and Bert! First a washer/dryer, now a couch. What next?
