THE GOOD NEWS AND THE BAD NEWS

This is how I started the conversation with my husband.....

Me: I have some good news and some bad news.
Husband: What's the good news?
Me:  We have a new love seat!
Husband: Yes, I know, it's in the garage, right?
Me: Ready for the bad news?
Husband: Sure.
Me: We have another new love seat!
Husband: Silence.....

You might remember that I just bought this love seat a couple of months ago. 
It is still sitting in the garage, awaiting its fate. 
In the meantime, I found this beauty at an estate sale.


I fell in love with the coral/salmon velvet fabric and the simple lines.
It came from a beautiful old estate in Cincinnati and is in perfect condition.


I'm sure I'll be getting a call from TLC to appear on Hoarders any day now.


The love seat that used to sit here, now awaits its fate in the basement.
My upholsterer stopped by yesterday to take a look at the love seat in the garage

to give me an estimate to reupholster it.  
I'll either invest in having it reupholstered and use it in "The Nook
or I'll leave it as is and sell it on Craigslist. 

What can I say, I love love seats!
Spill it, what are you hoarding?

  2. Your new, new loveseat is gorgeous! I am backing you up to your husband--that was a major score. You can never have too many loveseats. Or chairs. Or mirrors. Or antique picture frames...

  4. Do you know how good this made me feel?!! :) That coral velvet is gorgeous!! You have to find an expensive one online to show him, and then my favorite line, 'Look how much money I saved!"

  7. If you asked my husband he'd say I hoard everything, I keep telling him though that my things are seasonal:)
    I think the loveseat you found is neat especially the fabric!
