Our GROWING FAMILY has officially become TOO BIG for our couch and rocking recliner. Our furniture has worked GREAT for the last 5 years, but the decision making started... do we buy a full set of new furniture (saving a little more $ than if we bought it piece by piece)?? Or, do we just buy an extra loveseat or couch to get us by? After all, we are only here for 2 years, and then have to move again... and we maybe will want to buy new furniture to fit our MAYBE someday new house... so many decisions!!!
After many hours of research, lots of time on craigslist, and a CRAZY trip to a furniture store with the whole family (and LOTS of breakable decorations all over)... this is the couch (just the couch), we'd decided on. PRICE: $569
But then a few angels knocked on our door (Camara and Misti), who are professional garage salers, and my workout buddies, who had heard my woe stories about furniture.... and they had found this:
... which is now in our house. YES, that price is FIFTEEN DOLLARS!!! A family on-base is headed over seas, and we are really glad there are weight limits. :) They'd owned this beauty for 3.5 years, 1.5 of which was spent in the unused basement, and couldn't justify bringing it to Europe. There are a few scuffs... but being the cheapskate I am... I took the plunge. :) And, after a lot of Fabreeze (to get their smell out... not a bad smell... just their smell), we have been pleasantly surprised... as you can see by this picture...
... and they are doing these acrobats on THAT couch... rather than on ME. :)

So glad I could help!
WOW! Look at that nice couch. It turned out really nice.
I love it! I haven't gone to too many garage sales this year. :( I always love a steal of a deal like that one!
