found

so, while i was cooking dinner last night (see post below), joe was getting this loverly friend into our house.

we've always had a dilemma of design in our little living room - this one wall under the window is a great space, but for lack of better furniture, was continually cluttered with oddball chairs and lamp tables and whatnot. and we hate clutter! but, we also have another dilemma, which is how to furnish the new room that is now nearly completed. i though perhaps a small futon couch would fit in there, and would serve as a nice movie couch and then a guest bed if/when it was needed. so, yesterday, day of all days, i find this little guy for a steal. bring it home, and it literally takes up half the new little room, and we're not sure we're ready for that yet. (yes, we did measure, so it wasn't a complete surprise, but we thought it may have been satisfactory after all...). we were not disheartened, but rather put it to good use in our living room, taking care of that unsightly clutter and providing a good bit more seating for company. the black cover, though it does look rather handsome with our present decor, is a bit worn. so, if we so choose, we may go avail ourselves of the futon cover sale that bed bath and beyond is having this week! and i have lots of coupons. :)
