The time has come to purchase a new sofa....ours is toast! Tuesday Deb and I stopped by the local Big Lots store to check out the furniture in stock...and they have a very nice looking sectional, very comfy, covered in a very durable fabric that is a dark moss green color. Very nice. $699. And since they have a Price Hold (Lay A Way) we will be able to put in in Lay A Way, make payments (interest free) and have it paid off in May.....which gives me time to do the Spring Cleaning and Carpet Shampooing.

Well, I ran in today to measure the sectional so we can get an idea of how to rearrange the living room once it is here....only to find out that the sectional is a lot bigger than it looks in that huge open building. 124 inches long, with a chaise lounge thing on the one end that comes out nearly 90 inches....the chaise lounge part is as big as our current sofa! Definitely not going to fit in our living room...well it will, if we remove everything but the entertainment console and TV.

So, this weekend, we will be going back to the store to try to pick out something that will fit in our living room.
