New Couch!

So, it was a rather exciting weekend in the Aires household because Friday, our new couch and chairs arrived! Of course that left us with the issue of trying to find a home for our old, beat up couch but that is besides the point because our family room now looks like this:

Of course the radiator needs to be moved...

The furniture really brightens up the room and I lovvvvvvvvve it. Now that the wedding is over hopefully our house projects will take more of a priority like re-upholstering the ottoman and finding a new coffee table but for now, I'm just enjoying a couch that is actually comfortable. As for our our old couch, it did eventually find a new home down the street after 4 days of practically begging people to take it (this involved craiglist, our listserv as well as a FREE sign with the couch out front). Ironically, once it FINALLY found a home ten minutes later 2 boys came knocking on our door looking for it... when it rains it pours.
