This is the day that Linzi's been waiting for for almost 3 years now. When we got married Dustin was able to hook us up with a truckload of free furniture that he acquired while working for a moving company, including our wonderful "Swan Couches." I actually didn't think they were as bad as Linzi did (except for how the cushions would slide off the couch if you sat on it for over 5 minutes), but she's been hoping to upgrade since day one. They finally flew out of our house this week. It was our first experience selling something on Craigslist, and now I find myself looking around the house to find other things we can sell...it's kind of addicting.
We found a great deal on a new couch and loveseat at Rothman Furniture. They both recline (thanks for the inspiration Tyler and Kristin), the couch has a little drink holder in the middle and the loveseat rocks as well. They are super comfortable and have exceded our expectations. I am a little bit obsessive about keeping them clean and "new", even though I secretly want to spill a big red drink on them to test their stain-repelling capabilities. I'm sure it will happen soon enough. :0)

those look very comfortable! buying couches is fun
As I said before - Jealous! I love them!
BRAVO! They're beautiful! I can't wait to bring my big bum out there to see if they can handle it! (That will be the true test and you know it.) I am TOTALLY JEALOUS that the loveseat ROCKS! How cool is that?!
Congratulations, team!
If you want, our kids will volunteer to "accidentally" spill a hawaian punch...and you can test that awesome stainability!
