Your fabulous Prize today is ... This handsome furniture set!

I used to love watching the Price is Right. Its too bad that we didn't win this furniture on the Price is Right, that would have been fun. Instead, Thanksgiving weekend we decided to take advantage of the sales going on and go look at furniture, also fun. I knew that I wanted a 2 person, aka a "Cuddle" chair, (I do love to cuddle!) and probably a couch and love seat. When we got to the warehouse I immediately spotted this set and loved it. We walked all around this warehouse looking at different sets but nothing was as great as this set. This place is huge, 2 enormous floors of furniture! There were some pretty wild sets but not too many cuddle chairs. It was very helpful that Mark and I have similar taste in furniture and that Mark was in the mood to look at items because it was a really big store. Something that I have noticed about myself is that I get a picture into my head of exactly what I want and rarely find it. While this can be discouraging it is also helpful because I spend less money! But luckily we did find this great set.

I LOVE this chair!! Something that we found really annoying though is that ottomans are always priced separately than the chair which really bugs me. And the ottomans always cost almost 1/2 as much as the chair. I told that salesmen that I found this really annoying and he said that the ottoman is the least bought piece of furniture and I said, " if you included it in the price of the chair people would buy more." (seemed like a no brainer to me but I am not a salesperson) But he didn't seem to think so.

Its a good thing we did not get a couch and love seat because they never would have all fit into our apt. (And we didn't need to spend that much money.) When we sat on and looked at the furniture in the warehouse it didn't seem quite so big because the place is so big but in our apartment it looks a little crowded but we do not care, we don't plan on living here forever so we will just enjoy it even if it looks a little funny. I also learned from this shopping experience that I don't even really like love seats, I would rather have 2 of these chairs, they are just so comfy. In case you cannot tell, its a lovely olive green with a light brown trim. It also came in dark brown but that was a bit too dark for us. We still need to buy a kitchen table. We are borrowing our friend Bethany's but we can wait awhile for that. I asked the salesperson if they have sales for most holidays and he said they do, maybe Presidents Day? We will see, probably not though.
