New Living Room w Couches

Published 15 July 5 2:2 PM | coad

For the last several years, I've dreamt of having a real leather couch! My living room at my Redmond (Seattle) apartment has been completely bare since I moved in (a year ago) with the occasional influx of moving boxes (from when I moved in then Dawn moved up). Occasionally I'd just sit on the floor in the middle of the completely bare living room dreaming of the day I'd be able to come home to a comfy couch, have guests over, and making it feel like a real home.

Now that I'm married (to the wonderful Dawn Coad) I'm out of the college / bachelor scene (Ikea like furniture) and have entered the realm of 'real' furniture. Dawn and my first big purchase as a married couple, one month after getting married, was a couch, love seat, chair, ottoman, coffee table, and end table from Mor Furniture.

We've waited a long six weeks for delivery and as of last night, it all arrived! It is very exciting! What am I doing this weekend? Hanging out in my living room!

Before - Just an empty living room for the last year.
Imagine me just sitting here on the floor Indian style, yup, sad.

After - A whole new experience! Now it actually looks like a home,
a place to hang and invite friends over.

For those of you that blog, have you noticed how much easier and faster it is to get a blog post out when you're excited about a new thing? That's what this is, I'm excited, here working at Microsoft on a Friday wishing I was hanging out on my couches, so what do I do? Blog about them!

That's why women come in handle, they sure do force the issue of furnishing very quickly.

Well in our case, I was the one who really wanted to get new furniture. I've wanted a leather couch since starting college and I've been taking Dawn along to look at couches over the last few years, so she was very kind in letting me get just what I wanted. :) Thankfully, she has similar/the same taste and provided me with an "excuse" to have a nice place (sooner than later).
