New Furniture

A recap of our weekend includes shopping, shopping and more shopping. Phew! I am so tired of looking at furniture. I woke up Saturday morning ready for a day of dining room table searching with my mother when JB got home from work. He bartends at a local bar down the street from our house and his usual shift is graveyard so on the weekends we pass each other in the bedroom with a sweet kiss and general hello/goodbye. This Saturday, however, he returned bushy-tailed and bright eyed. He had a decent night and wanted to go furniture shopping too. So, I waited for him to shower and freshen up from a long night of beer pouring and smoke filled gambling.
We headed to the west side to meet up with mom and head out to look at all the local hot spots for any possible sales. We shopped for hours. Literally, hours. I think we started out our day at 10 AM and left the last store around 6:30 PM. It was a very long day and luckily I only slightly lost my temper once and this might have been a lack of food or drink. (Both JB and Mom know it is important to keep me hydrated and full during these types of excursions) The lucky thing is that after all that time we did not leave empty-handed. In our last stop of the afternoon we went into a new Lane Furniture store and found the perfect table. We bought the floor model and secured a deal that basically gave it to us for half the normal price. It is still a little out of our league but with the 13 month deferred payment I think we will be okay.

Now if only I can keep the basset off of it...

Hello. I find your blog very interesting. I love decorating houses and I do know a lot about modern trends and furniture. I think that it is a great to buy items from Lane Furniture. It is a great company. It is not only me who is completely satisfied with the products. I browsed www.pissedconsumer.com and I did not find many complaints about the company.
