Today I left my house at 8:30 am and drove for 2 hours in the pouring rain with my sister. We were going to pick up a sofa I found on craigs list. We drove home again in the pouring rain with the sofa strapped to the top of the car. The whole time I felt a bit crazy—like I wasn’t using good judgment. I mean it was a loooong drive, and I really had no idea how or even if we would be able to transport it back to my house. But sometimes risks pay off. I actually really love it. The wood is beautiful. It would be awesome to have it reupholstered, but maybe someday… It is a nice enough piece that it would be worth it.
So my sister thought I was crazy for even wanting this sofa in the first place. (It’s not really her style.) And I’m sure all of my friends think I’m crazy because every time they come over here, the living room looks different. But I just haven’t been able to get it right yet. It is a difficult room to arrange furniture in. After much careful thought and consideration today, and lots more rearranging, we may have come up with a good solution. Maybe it will stay how it is for a while. Or maybe I just have living room ADD.
I am thinking I should post more pictures of the room tomorrow and ask for suggestions…
