Living Room

Today we took the scenic route to Arcadia to look at more sofas. We ended up buying a living room set that will be delivered on Tuesday.

Most of the furniture we were looking at in La Crosse was from Ashley Furniture, which is headquartered just 30 miles north in Arcadia. So finally the weather was pleasant for us to take a scenic ride via Winona, MN with the windows down. The views of the bluffs, the rivers, and rolling farmland were spectacular. Parts of it reminded me of Russia, Japan, and Pennsylvania. It's great to have such wonderful countryside so nearby.

When we got to Ashley Furniture we did not intend to go home with a purchase. But we finally found a living room set at the right price that seemed a good fit for our new home. We didn't take pictures, so I'll have to describe in thousands of words.

The sofa and love-seat are green with dark hard wood legs. The coffee table and end tables are also made of dark hard wood to match the aforementioned legs. When we sat on the sofa and love-seat, it felt like we were sitting on green marshmallows. However the cushions tasted far from marshmallows. The coffee table was oval in shape, so there will be no sharp corners for a potential young one to lose or at least injure an eye or two. The end tables were also curvaceous.

This means our current yard sale love-seat will be moved to the guest/office room. Now Jenevieve can do her online work and administer reiki to another person at the same time.

So by Tuesday our living room will be nearly complete. All we have to do next is decorate the walls.
