The 3 sofas I ordered,finally arrived.. Very nice and helpful delivery folks but that was the high point of that experience. The sofas themselves were CRAP~! We only took one out of its packaging , wrapped it back up and all 3 went back to the truck.. I didnt get disheartened,, just a bit disappointed. I know things turn out exactly as they are meant to be and I had no doubt this would be the case in this experience.
Sofas returned to the store- money returned to my account and the search began again.
I was on my way to do my grocery shopping and drove right by a local furniture store. On my way back I thought, oh heck, stop in there and just look. In I went, and directly to my right sat a beautiful loveseat n sofa set in a very very pale tan with tiny white threads running through the cloth.. the sign said- Last One, get it while you can and thats exactly what I did. My soul was Singing -wooooooohooooooooo.. Looked great, sat great,price was fair, they could deliver at 6 that very same day. Meant to be and I was certain of that.
Now I need a rug- art and accessories , but the Family room furniture is in place and we are thrilled with it...
((The living room sofa saga continues , lol)) But I'm feeling very lucky and have no doubt I'll walk right in Somewhere and find the perfect one for Me.
I didnt want to leave ya'll hanging and thinking I hadn't accomplished anything, so I am posting this even though the redo isnt complete.. we are making Progress:)
I gotta change the throw on my desk chair.. just now noticed that..

8 Ways to Decorate with Plaid at Christmas

Sonny, You are right about sofas. When did it get to be such a chore to find one. When they became so cheaply made , with an expensive price tag....right.I have a sofa that I settled on. But I can tell you I do not like it. Your new things looked perfect color and comfort.Smiles , Susie
ReplyDeleteMy living room couch and love seat are very similar to these you purchased. They are becoming worn and beyond clean-up and that color is not conducive to farm living. However I love them and would like to replace them with a set like yours. It would be an effort in futility unless I kept them covered in plastic.
ReplyDeleteThese are great Sonny. SOrry your first ones did not work out..you have a good attitude and it paid off my friend.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful! How disappointing it must have been to wait for the other ones to arrive only to have them be poorly made. Did you mention what company made the first ones? Just want to make sure I don't order some from them!
ReplyDeleteThey look very comfy, Sonny! I hope the disappointment over the first ones delivered was soon gone when you found these. Good thing you listened to your instinct and stopped at that store!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the way it always seems to work? When you're not looking...bam! :) But either way I am glad you found something. Its really pretty and it sure does look sink-down comfy and cozy. Can't wait to see it progress. xxoo
ReplyDeleteI love your new sofa and love seat, Sonny. I always like to have a VERY neutral sofa so that I can change the look just with pillows for the different seasons. LOVE the mirrors too!!! XO, Pinky Happy Labor Day!
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting to walk in and find just what you wanted. I love them, they look very comfortable and also the color looks amazing. Great find. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteYay! You found the perfect sofa and loveseat! Sorry about your experience with the other ones but glad you were able to send them back immediately! Isn't that the way it goes? You look and look and then just pop in a place and there's what you're looking for.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Those look very comfy!! Looks like everything is going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey look GREAT and very comfy too. And they will match anything, so have a n ice future with you as well.
ReplyDeleteGlad it all worked out for you, Sonny.
They look comfy and cozy. I want new furniture......exciting.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you found the ones you like after being disappointed over the delivery of the cheap ones. I really love these and they look perfect in your room! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Labor Day!
XO,
Jane
I like your new ones! I have custom ordered furniture more than once and been disappointed when it came. Sometimes you can't return it! We just bought our new couch from the furniture store and it was an item they normally carry so it was easy and I knew what to expect. Maybe easy is the better way to go. :)
ReplyDeleteSonny, talk about destiny! These were meant to be! I hope you find exactly what you are looking for. I already know that it will be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found something you truly like! Can't wait until you get the room finished
ReplyDeleteThey look great Sonny! I can't wait to see the finished room. Enjoy your evening, Gail
ReplyDeleteOh- I like your new pieces. They look great and they do look comfortable! It's too bad the ones you ordered were so disappointing. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWe have been searching for sofas for about 4 months. I am so ready to say "yes" to the sofa!
ReplyDeleteYour room is beautiful as is. I can't wait to see the finished room.

Love your new sofa and love seat! Bless your heart...after all that and then you had to order again and wait! But they are beautiful! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteOh, Sonny! I'd be thrilled for you to make a header for me anytime. I know you're really good with graphics and all!
ReplyDeleteYou know how I love your visits,
Shelia ;)
Now those are a great way to start your layering. I love the style and color. I'm so excited as "we" go thru this process of building this room. Oh, and the hunt for the just right is so fun.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sonny,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you found your new sofa and loveseat so quickly. Know that had
to be disappointing for you. God is good! Love your new set, everything is looking great already can't wait to see the finished room, and will be praying you find just the right sofa
for the living room. Maybe you just needed to take one room at a time so
it isn't too stressful!! lol
Have fun!
Blessings, Nellie
