Yes, an opportunity for you to speak out! We decided to use the blog to seek out opinions…
We’re getting some things for the house this week, some of which I’m very excited about (namely our steal-of-a-deal dishes). Anyway, photos to come as we clean up. It’s a disaster around here currently.
One thing we have considered purchasing is a couch. Right now we have four wooden chairs with seat cushions in our living room, and we thought it might be nice to have a softer piece of furniture that we could both fit on. We also thought it might feel a little warmer and more homey.
We found a couch that we like–it’s actually comfortable, which is hard to find here, and you can order in the color you like, another good thing in this country. All of the upholstery actually comes off so it’s washable, which is nice. It’s 9,990B, or $326. We’re now trying to decide if it’s a good investment, if we should wait to see, or if we should just be grateful and enjoy wooden furniture!
Oh, and if you want to see it: click here (Unfortunately, this link is long gone.)
And, after you’ve seen it–don’t judge us for the boring color. The only options are a jail-bird stripe pattern, a very flowery one with a white base, bright red, and bright blue. We’re leaning towards the khaki-green shade with pretty pillows.
So, comment away. Let’s see what you think 🙂
I vote yes, get the couch. How could you go wrong with Winner Furniture?
Get it!!!! There is something so relaxing about curling up on a couch!!!!
What about the awesome low wood bench/couches that you can put cushions on? They have awesome carvings on them, those are pretty cool too!
As long as it works with your budget, a couch will make it feel more homey and inviting for you and your guests. My guess is you can probably sell it later if you don’t end up staying past the 2 years and if you do, you’ll just have that much longer to enjoy it! The khaki-green will probably be the easiest to keep clean and some bright and fun pillows will spruce it up a bit. So I’m voting YES.
I think you should totally get it! I cant wait to see pics of your place! When can we skype? Love you guys and miss you!
It may be too late to vote, but I really like the soft, warm, homey idea. Can you imagine how much your neighbors would enjoy coming over to sit down and visit? But you know me…bright red would be my color choice. =o)
Dad
I think YES! I am going to need somewhere to sit when I come visit
