When we moved to Portland, the only living room furniture we brought with us was this little maroon love seat. We got it when we wer first married and it fit perfectly in our other two homes.
I loved it! What is not to love? -Free, great color, and comfortable.
It has been bitter sweet to say we needed new furniture for our apartment. Having this little couch in the living room allowed for alot of extra space. I mean, I probably had enough room to teach a small aerobics class.
We were greatly blessed to find a living room set that is modern looking, comfortable, the right price, and not to far of a drive to pick it up. For all of you curious what it is like to visit us- here is the living room.
I thoroughly enjoy sinking into these large chairs.
So grateful to have been able to find a great set for a great price. I count it as a blessing from the Lord. We had been looking for a few months, but really hadn't seen anything that caught our eye- or a more correct statement was it caught our eye, but not our liking.
A cool story came out of purchasing the furniture. As we were loading it into the back of Justin's truck, I commented that Justin should have gotten some help from some of the guys we go to church with.
The lady who sold us the furniture asked, "Where do you go to church?"
We repsonded, "The LDS Church."
She said, "I knew it, I knew it when I talked to you. (pointing to Justin and he had gone to look at the furniture while I was working) You have that spirit in your eyes that all LDS people do. I studied with the Mormon's for five years, several years back. All of those members have that spirit with them."
I thought that it was really neat she could recognize the Holy Ghost in those of our faith. I invited her to come 'study' with us again anytime she likes.
