New Additions to our Home!

Right after our birthdays we purchased the captain chair to go with our couch and love seat. Of course it was back ordered, but it was available to be picked up this weekend. While we were at Dania we bought a coffee table and end table. The coffee table is bigger than we expected but it still looks really good!

The dilemma of the day was how to get the chair (and later the tables) home. The Matrix wouldn't be big enough and with the price of gas being so high we couldn't ask my parents to drive out here to pick it up. So, Aunt Joyce came to the rescue. She got us a truck from Bill Kay and we were able to pick up the furniture. We thought it would be easy, but it turned out to still be difficult to fit everything in the truck. The granite part of the coffee table and the end table fit behind the front seat, but there was a lot of manuvering to fit the chair and coffee table in the cab...somehow it worked (I am not sure how because I was sitting up front out of the wind).

It took a few tries to get the furniture in the right place...this was one of the options!

Here is the first option from the other side of the room!

Here is what we decided upon. The TV doesn't look perfect, but eventually Rick plans to put a flat panel TV on the wall and that will make the room a little less cluttered.

This is our new chair! Very, very comfortable--Rick is so happy!

End table--sale price $59!

Coffee table--original price $450....sale price $129! The granite in the middle is very nice. There was a mark on the wood part of the table which is the reason it was marked down, but decided to try our magic eraser sponge and it took the marks right off!
