Not from DI, not hand me downs, not from KSL.com, not even Craig's list, not free. No sir. Our new pieces of furniture were actually BOUGHT at an actual furniture store. Startling, I know.
Our old round corner couch (that didn't even fit in the corner, and Bjorn had to saw a chunk of it and then cover with fabric to fit in in our house...) finally broke about a month ago. One of the cushions was sat upon too hard, and the board/spring beneath broke. So we had one sinky spot and four semi-good spots to sit on. This new development- along with the fact that we got it from DI, two weeks before we got married just so we would have somewhere to sit in our bare apartment- warranted a new couch to be bought.
We were saving up to buy new ones for Christmas anyway, so now we have an early Christmas present! After several stores, several trips to internet, several salesmen, and several headaches, we finally found a comfy set we loved for a good deal. They are microfiber in fabric and "oyster" in color. We LOVE them! They are almost too nice sit on, and look too good to be in our apartment. I am enjoying looking for some colorful pillows/throws to spruce it up even more.
Yes, it was a big decision, but I have no regrets, and we are glad to be headed into our next stage of life.

Congrats! That's exciting. We'll have to come over and try them out and play another game of set. Also, that story about gimme five is just too cute.
Hey! If you ever want to test the "no-stain" capabilities of microfiber, be sure to invite Ellie over with a sippy cup full of juice. Oh, and I love the new couches! They're beautiful!
they look so great! i'm glad you survived the search & the salesmen.
Yay! I finally saw them! :)
