finally!

Since I have moved into my new place, I have really wanted to upgrade from my sister's old futon that I have been using as a couch...even though I really didn't have the funds to do so. I have held off, but have thought about it all the time (and didn't stop looking). Well, most of you know that I am a craigslist junkie and always looking for good deals. I had found a listing for a "pottery barn" style couch listed for $100, a little more than I should be spending, but exactly what I was looking for. Since most that style are $800 or more, it still seemed like a good deal. I made an appointment to check out before I decided (just to make sure it wasn't a rip-off). When Justin and I were leaving to go look at it we saw a yard sale at the end of the street with a very promising option. It was a huge antique couch (I mean really big for that style), with a great sage green fabric. Not sure of the price we had to stop and check it out. I actually didn't really want another older piece, after just finding that chair, I thought it was time for a newer style...I don't want to go too antique, but for this find I couldn't resist.

So, with the amazing price tag of...$75 (no, I am not kidding), no internal damage, great fabric, gorgeous woodwork, you know I couldn't pass it up! So here is my newest addition (I plan to pair it with a great (big) ottoman in a completely different style...my next search ;)
(the picture doesn't give justice to it's immense size! let's just hope it fits in the door of our place in Maysville...it barely did here!)
