Updates In The Basement

YEAH HAPPY NEW SOFA!

I have been watching Craigslist for a new sofa for quite a while now.

Originally I wanted a simple settee for the master bedroom that I can reupholster.

But, when a great bargain comes along, you just have to take it.

Well, at least that is my excuse.

Mr. M., the kids and I picked up the sofa at a tiny antique shop in Buffalo.

The guy had some amazing chairs, but due to the abundance that I already have!

I didn't bother to ask the price.

I knew I would get THE LOOK from Mr. M.

I have been wanting to replace the sofa in the basement for a long time.
13 Years long!

The only problem was, the first one was free.

How could I justify buying a new sofa when it wasn't a NEED as Mr. M. put it.

I had my argument all ready.

Old sofa, messy and needing a new slipcover.

Old sofa, too big for room.

Old sofa, not worth buying fabric nor worth sewing new slipcover for.

When this new sofa came along.

I just had to explain the savings of buying now verses a new one in a couple of years.

I can be persuasive.

I love my new sofa, and at half the cost than if we had traveled to Ikea to get it.

Now if only I can get my sewing machine fixed.
I am in the mood to sew some major slipcovers.

And you, what are you doing to get through the winter blahhhs?
