We did finally replace the old recliner (paid $10 for it 30 years ago) and now we have one that rocks/glides AND reclines, plus it's not so huge that my husband swims in it. But it didn't leave our house: the 18yo decided to drag it into his room. Honestly, it was too nice to make it leave. We might have low standards.Karen (formerly kcinnova)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08965093440928340819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-41459704865134642702018-05-16T06:38:55.679-04:002018-05-16T06:38:55.679-04:00I love the title for this post!

We were lucky to buy a large blue leather couch from a friend who was moving and couldn't take it with her. I love leather because it's impervious to dog hair, but a new leather couch costs as much as or more than an entire semester of tuition at a state university!Patience_Crabstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860012969550268614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-40856618470116382862018-05-15T19:42:10.661-04:002018-05-15T19:42:10.661-04:00Oh, a search for a new couch.

Last time we bought a couch was when I was expecting Reggie. Over 12 years ago. It was November and I stood up and sat down so much (while big and pregnant) to try out the couches that my dry skin suffering from Chicago winter was screaming by the time it was over. It wasn't the best couch searching circumstances. Thankfully I still love my couch and love-seat! Good luck!

Glad it's gone; sorry you now have to look for a couch. My husband, who generally doesn't care about this type of stuff, ALWAYS has a strong opinion too - which is why we still haven't purchased a new rug. And he refuses to admit that the old couch is falling apart. *sigh*Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467164195744234746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-58908532602671061862018-05-15T15:45:25.336-04:002018-05-15T15:45:25.336-04:00What?
