This morning, while procrastinating the whole packing thing by surfing design blogs, looking for inspiration, I came across this announcement. I’ve done the warehouse sale thing before, and I know these things get really busy really quickly, so I literally ran upstairs, jumped on T’s head ’til he woke up and dragged him outta the house.

We made excellent time across the city, and managed to score this totally gorgeous sectional for the new family room:

It was one of the last few items they had that wasn’t sold out, and we paid only 30% of the original price.

Even better, it’s big and comfy for lounging around on to watch TV (the big screen is our next big purchase), and could double as a guest bed in a pinch.

I’m seeing it against chocolate brown walls, with cream trim, and pops of blue and green…

Now, on to the kitchen. :)
