And then there was new furniture.

For those of you who have never or will never see the inside of my house, I'm warning you, this will be a boring post. It may be boring anyway, but I'm excited about new furniture.
Here's my new bedroom: all new furniture and the ritziest comforter set I have ever owned, thanks to Overstock, without whose discount prices, I would never have been able to afford one this nice.

With the kiss

It even included a bed skirt! I cannot remember the last time I had a bedskirt. Maybe when I was still living with my parents and my mother was in charge of the linens.

And here are the accompanying pieces:

With small drawers

Big drawers, with dog and TV

On to the living room. I couldn't find a picture that would properly convey the extent of the puppy-damage to the old furniture, but those of you who saw it remember the horror.

New arm chair

New furniture

Note: The teal (my mother SWEARS it's green. I respectfully disagree) chair is not my favorite piece, but it's a lazy boy, and BOY is it comfortable.

Great vintage chair

And now, the crown jewel of the new, one of grandmother's fancy chairs (I would've taken both, but the Sis wanted the other. Fair's fair.)

Greatest chair ever

The sag in the cushion speaks to its age, but do you SEE the awesomeness that is that fabric? DO YOU SEE?

Best fabric ever

So there it is, the new and improved "adult" furniture for our house. In two weeks, there will be new carpet, darker, richer, better quality AND with SCOTCHGUARD! (Blessedly, I photo-retouched the worst spots of the carpet in these pictures, but take my word for it, it is HORRID. Again, those of you who've seen it . . .)

[this is good]

Oh, the glory! That is a beautiful chair for sure. I also really love the bed linens! I need to upgrade in that area myself. (I plan on doing a little home improvement, too, but it won't happen until Fall and the influx of new paychecks. Bleh.)

Anyway, can't wait to see all the new stuff in person soon!

Seriously, check out Overstock for linens. This set would have originally been some ridiculous amount I would have scoffed at. As it was, I spent less than $100.
