New Furniture


My hubby and I have decided that it is time to replace some of our furniture. We have been shopping and shopping and finally found what we are looking for. We had a few pieces delivered last night. To tell you the truth, this morning when I walked down the hallway into the living area it almost felt I'd walked into strangers house. I couldn't believe what a dramatic impact new furniture can make. I love getting new furniture but it's also draining. You want to make sure you get the right piece for the right price at the right place. Wow, just saying all that makes me tired. It's almost like buying a new car. I love having a new car but the whole process gives me a headache. When I was younger buying furniture meant if I see something I like I'd buy it. Now I'm into researching my product and price (experience after getting burned). I'm older and I really research before committing myself into a purchases these days. I've slowed down and I take time to think about what I'm buying. This really does help weigh out the pros and cons to every big purchase. What are some of your tips when buying furniture? And have you ever made a big purchase that you have regretted?

  1. Furniture is one of those purchases that can drive you nutty. I'm very indecisive, so it would be hard for me. It's something you have to live with for a while, so you want to make sure you get it right!

    Enjoy the new furniture!

  2. You're so right, buying furniture is stressful and draining. It takes me a looooong time to decide what I want. Enjoy your new furniture. Are you gonna show us some pics?
