... and all of her dreams came true!

Okay, well, at least my sofa dreams came true!!! After years and years of "making do" with our old, nasty, 6th-generation sofas, I finally got the sofa of my dreams!!!! We saved up and were able to buy it outright which felt really good. We were laughing when we put it on my check card how it is the largest purchase we have ever made with that card, and how the bank was probably going to go into seizures! However, there was much anxiety over whether or not we would be able to even get it into the basement (we were, only after removing a window)! I hate being there when deliveries like that come. I am always worried that they are going to say, "Nope. Sorry. We refuse to haul this mammoth sofa/bed/washing machine down those stairs. You and your husband are on your own!", and then I am left fretting that while Levi is maneuvering the aforementioned, he gets pinned at the bottom of the stairs, clawing for his life, all the while cursing the fact that I am never happy with what we already have!

Needless to say, I am oh so happy with this purchase! I refused to "settle" and got what I really wanted. I wanted something that would last us years and years! I wanted something that our entire future family could sit on. I wanted stainproof and dirtproof. This glorious, glorious, glorious piece of furniture will hopefully be a centerpiece to many family memories! (I know it sounds silly to care so much, but you have no idea how bad the last couches were!)

So here I unveil the sofa that I love. The only picture I currently have of it is from my phone and it was still in the store. I also am awaiting the arrival of a matching ottoman that we ordered. We originally wanted a chaise, but ultimately decided an ottoman would work best so we wouldn't be "locked in" to any certain setup.

If you can't tell, it is chocolate brown with teal and brown pillows. The fabric is kind of like corduroy but checkered instead of lines. It is totally comfy and am thrilled with it.
