Out With The Old.

Mike and I have had our living room furniture since we've been married. That would be 13 years. As you can probably tell, I chose the couch and recliners when I was really into my country decorating phase. The couch is hunter green and off white check and the recliners were matching dark green.

Honestly, I really LOVED this furniture. But, we needed an update because the recliners were pretty much trash and the couch, well ... it had seen it's better days.

I have to say ... we've sat on this furniture and shared so many memories with so many people. We experienced so many holidays and birthdays. We shared many Sunday morning breakfasts with my Daddy, enjoying our cinnamon rolls there. Our dear sweet Wyatt slept on this couch. We brought Griffin home and shared many special moments on this couch. It was very, very hard for me to finally give in and get new furniture. As I've said before, I grow very attached to certain things. This ugly furniture was one of them.


We decided to donate our old furniture to Goodwill. Griffin thought it was pretty cool to climb all over the couch when it was in the trailer.


And here we say goodbye to our old furniture. It looked really sad sitting out there all alone (sniff, sniff). I hope a loving family will adopt it and love it as much as I did.


And this is our new furniture. We chose a dark brown leather couch and matching recliner. Both ends of the couch are recliners, which is great. The dark brown leather works really well for us. With a 3-year-old it's easier to clean up spills and messes on the leather. Mike chose the matching pillows. They are a mustard yellow (they match the walls) and a burnt red. We also have a new matching rug. I love it. I really love it.

It was hard to let go of the old ... but I really LOVE the new.
