A few weeks ago we picked up some assemble-yourself furnature for the dining room. In lieu of a buffet, we found a couple of great units.

Ann has sewn up the curtains and just needed a length check to hem the bottom. We still need to settle on a fabric for the living room curtains. I still just have the black-out fabric hanging by itself.

Ok, here’s the long story. We picked out a great set of couches from JC Penny. We had family and friends sit in them and they were perfect. So, after a month of mulling it over, we picked out the sectional pieces that we liked and ordered them in October. That night we cut out some large construction paper to the size of each of the pieces and layed them out in our living room and found that they were just a little too big. We cut some new pieces based on a sheet we had of all the furnature they had available in this brand and found a new layout that would work better. We called JC Penny and cancelled our original order until we could be sure of what we wanted.
