you know that recently
i scored a yummy sofa
for $20 on Craigslist
now
at the time
i was just hoping to find
a decent couch
for our schoolroom-turned-gameroom
but the nice folks who sold it to us
mentioned that the slipcovered piece
had been purchased originally from Arhaus
and after doing a little online searching
i realized that it was the same sofa
sold by Ballard Designs
after dancing a very undignified fandango
i began to realize the possibilities
of new slipcovers
and comfy down-filled cushions
and quickly rearranged my thinking
and then quickly decided to rearrange my furniture
we moved my faithful 9 year old Ektorp couch
a large ottoman and sofa table
from the living room into the old school room
and moved the new sofa
into the living room
the coffee table
is actually our old school table
that i found a couple years ago at a local tag sale
for $10 and asked hubs to cut down
believe me when i tell you
Little Miss and i scrubbed a whole mess
of dried paint and glue off that table top
the little white bookcase
isn't my ideal side table
but it works for now
even though
it was all an unintended switcharoo
i'm really liking how it's all come together
to make a warm and comfy room
although you can't tell in the photos
the slipcover is a little worn around the edges
and will have to be replaced soon
but for now
i'm quite content
with my cozy and eclectically vintage
living room
what fortuitous finds
have you stumbled across lately?
