photos, anyone?

okay, i've been threatening - here's where i make good. presenting, my couch:


and just for fun, the little arrangement on my coffee table:


so, if you've been reading, you know about the couch. we had a futon - i've almost always had a futon - that broke almost a year ago. because we couldn't afford a couch at the time, we bought a new futon. less than 6 months later, it broke. after we requested the parts from the factory, the company then went out of business. we were out one futon, and our 5-yr warranty was useless.

we've been dealing with the sagging mattress and uncomfortable frame for quite a while. so embarrassing - we haven't had company over, other than my mom and my best friend, since it broke. finally, it was time to say goodbye.

i love, love, love my replacement - so pretty, and so comfy, and microfiber, so it will put up with my cats AND my husband, and will probably still be around when my (future) kids are ready to try their hand at destroying it.

the coffee table in the picture belonged to my mom - she left it for me when she married my stepdad. i'm terribly attached to it because it's unique: the two glass pieces are lids to a shadowbox underside. inside the table, i can put just about anything. if only i could make up my mind... suggestions? i was thinking teacups and saucers. :)
