Works4me, Because at some point you realize how long you've been deferring some of your wants! Have you finished wrapping up all the bits and pieces of dealing with your dad's stuff? If so it sounds like a well deserved treat after all that work!

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Very nice, hon! I'm glad you're happy with it. As to all the other things that suddenly pop up to be done, that's because the new, lovely furniture is showing them up!  |

Since this is YM, can I mention that it was originally $3995 but with coupons, discounts and clearance pricing, it was only $839? With tax and shipping/delivery it came in at a tad over $1000. I am so cheap ... errrr ... I mean frugal, that I like that part best. Plus it was exactly what I had been looking for since before my father gir sick in May if 2010.
I was actually looking for some white everyday dishes, which I found at JCPenny. Both my father's set and my set were down to three dinner plates and one sandwich plate each and which course they were different patterns. My father's set was both dated and very difficult to replace while mine had evidently been rather expensive, despite the fact that I picked it up for at Ross on Clearance. Ditto with my everyday silverware. I constantly amaze myself that way and often feel like I have champagne taste on a Kool Aid budget!
Watch out world, new window coverings next - only problem is I may have to make them myself in order to get what is want - a warm off-white that matches the walls with standard rod sheers under and matching grommet tops curtains on top. Grrr! Any suggestions on where to look online would be appreciated because I need another project like I need another hole in my head!

LOL from dishes to furniture...guess you were just working down the alphabet!
That's a GREAT discount; congratulations!
And  there's a few posters on YM who have extra sets of dishes they're trying to figure what to do with them.

That looks lovely! Congrats!
I am so glad you are finally doing something for you!
I think when you redo an important part of a room, you realize that the rest is outdated too LOL.

What a lovely sectional - and a great price/savings! I could probably lounge back on the chaise portion and crochet or cross-stitch for hours while glancing at the TV - looks really comfy - and I like earth tones like that - they go with almost any decor. Good choice!
