Show and Tell Friday

Kelli of There Is No Place Like Home hosts Show and Tell Friday. Today I want to show you my new sofa.

A month or so ago I asked the people who contribute to this meme to help me decide if I should buy a new sofa or get my old one reupholstered. They agreed that I should buy a new one.

Well here it is:

Isn't it beautiful?

Here's my old sofa which now sits outside my house waiting for the sanitation guys to pick it up.

In the next couple of weeks Lazy Boy should call and tell me they are delivering my (or rather my husband's) new recliner. Can't wait!

Show and Tell Friday

You remember a couple of weeks ago on Show and Tell that I asked you to help me decide whether to buy new or re-upholster my living room sofa and my husband's chair.

And you may know you said "Get New!"

So we bought a sofa two weeks ago and I showed it to you. Now we bought a recliner for my husband last Saturday at Lazy-Boy.

My husband finds it very comfortable and I like the design very much. I'm not sure whether I want the material this dark but I do want a green. I really wanted leather but friends of ours said leather gets hot after you've sat in it for a while and is cold in the winter. So no leather.

We won't be getting any of the furniture for 6-8 weeks. But of course I'll show you the room when it's all set up. I thank you all again for participating and helping me decide what to do. I can't wait!

I want to show you a couple of artifacts that I keep in my living room in which I'm putting the new furniture.

Below is a Chinese set (dish and egg) given to me years ago by my nephew. It sits on my fireplace mantel in the center. I love it!

This is a decorated Chinese roof tile. I bought it at the Museum Store many years ago. It depicts 3 Buddhas. It sits to the left of the fireplace on the hearth.
