After more than two months of action, waiting, and excitement, we've finally gotten to the stage everyone dreads in a long process. When something doesn't work, and you have to go back a few steps all over again and start over. UGH.After more than 14 years of the same living room furniture, we finally pronounced our couch, loveseat and 6 year old chair, and made the decision to update. Start fresh. (read: experience frustration!)
Bought and had delivered two chairs we just love that we've had our eye on for a year. CHECK
Decided to buy a leather couch (site unseen, but online at Sears, where we know we'll be safe). CHECK
Have said couch delivered, only to find it won't fit in the front door. CHECK
Find silver lining in that realization, and subsequently order smaller loveseat in that same style. Order coffee table and accent chair to complete the look. CHECK
Wait two months (and get frustrated by delayed delivery dates) for two of those pieces to arrive at our home. CHECK
Fall in love with coffee table and promptly punt cheaply made accent chair into front foyer for upcoming return to Sears. (read: beware the temptation to buy upholstered furniture online.... somewhat good idea gone wrong!) CHECK
As a result of delivery of crappy chair and longer delays for the leather loveseat, we are making the decision to embark on a different path towards living room comfort and style. There can always be a silver lining in setbacks, if you look for it. And we think we have found it.
Stay tuned.... we're quite excited with what comes next!
