Basement Furniture. Not.

John's Mom asked me the other day if I knew of anyone that needed furniture, or perhaps, would I be interested in the "couches" that Tim needed to get rid of.

Tim, is a man, obviously, and I had no idea what his taste in furniture was.

We finished our basement several years ago, but have never furnished it. Except for that one chair that I've had my whole married life, that hasn't had legs on it for years!

So, I'm thinking sure, we'll take it. We would really like to have furniture in our basement. I don't care what it looks like.

So while I'm in the shower Saturday, Tim and his son deliver the furniture and John helps them put it into the basement. I try and peek out the upstairs bathroom window to see what it looks like. Can't see.

After I get dressed, I go downstairs and practically scream! It is BEAUTIFUL furniture! My mind immediately tries to process this whole thing. I LOVE it. This is NO basement furniture. My upstairs furniture is basement furniture! I've got it set in my mind within minutes, this is coming upstairs.

So Saturday, John and Josh switched the furniture for me.

We love it.





These pictures don't even do them justice. The color was MADE for my living room. The couch is so wide and deep = comfy. John wasn't sure about the "cleopatra" style piece, but now he really likes it.

We all love them.

We are in love with our new furniture.

How nice!

FYI......I don't think it was Tim that picked out the furniture though....sorry but it was someone else and not to Ethel's liking, obviously. LOL wink, wink

As they say, someone elses garbage is someone elses treasure....Glad you got a treasure!

I did know about Tim's helper in choosing the furniture...

But, in thinking that an older man was getting rid of his furniture, I had no idea that it was so NICE!
