We wanted a new refresh in the living room due to old furniture for a long time. When we moved into our house back in 1995 we bought our furniture from Ethan Allen. The Ethan Allen store was located in Manhattan and we had a sales associate help us pick out our furniture. Well, 26 years later we needed new furniture in the living room. The couches were sagging, had holes in the material on both sides of the cushions, and the pillow backing was getting in our way of sitting on the couch. If I was to get the couch reupholstered it would cost about the same amount of money we paid for the new furniture, if not more. We decided on Labor Day weekend to look at furniture at the Raymour & Flanigan store.
OLD LIVING ROOM FURNITURE
NEW LIVING ROOM FURNITURE
We bought the new couch, love seat, and coffee table from Raymour & Flanigan. We were so happy and surprised when the furniture arrived at our house one week later. The reason why we picked out mismatched furniture is because of the sizing of the couch and the love seat not being the correct sizes. The way I had the furniture in our living room has never matched each other. I would have liked the couch and love seat to match but then the love seat would have been too big and to match the love seat with the couch it would have been too small. I think the furniture looks nice and a big improvement from what I had. I bought the five-year protection plan just in case anything happens to the furniture. I figured I better get the protection plan since I have Bosco who likes to sleep on the couches. I am trying to re-train Bosco now to sleep in his dog bed more often and he gives me dirty looks all the time. LOL! I also keep on the couch and love seat sheets to protect the furniture from Bosco.
UPDATE: It's one month later since we bought the new furniture and we've trained Bosco to sleep in his dog bed more often. He dosen't climb on the couch as much anymore. It's proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks. Bosco's birthday was on Friday, October 15th and he's now 14 years old.

NOTE: I have a huge project coming up. I am having my first, second, and third floor walls, doors, and one small bedroom painted. I will have a painting crew come and paint everything. The last time our house was painted in those areas was in 2009. The paint company claims that it will all be painted in three days. When that time comes I will have to prepare everything before it all gets painted. Then put everything back to normal again. I will be busy picking out paint colors and so on. I may not be posting or be around that much whenever we get this project done. Wish me luck!
Have you made any changes to your house lately?
