So the Fiance and I have both lived with roommates ever since we left home (minus our sophomore year of college when he lived in a tiny single dorm room, but that doesn't really count). We both have lived in multiple houses/apartments with a number of different roommates- I have had 9 different roommates since my freshman year of college.
Needless to say, neither of us have ANY furniture. Ok, well maybe not ANY. He has a mattress and box spring, that he bought from someone in college (after she had used it for 4 years already...) that he now sleeps on...on the floor. I have a pink recliner (which we WILL keep because it is the most comfortable thing ever), a maroon love seat and a blue gliding chair with a footrest. Oh and a twin bed with the frame I have had for the last 20 some years. My dresser is tiny. His is also tiny- and broken. Such a well matched set!
And tonight we are signing a lease for a 2 bedroom apartment with a large living room and dining room. And a balcony. That isn't really important in this conversation. I'm just really excited about having a balcony! So we need furniture. A lot of furniture in 3 weeks.
Our first stop on the furniture shopping trip was Fish Furniture. We had bought a Groupon for $200 a few months ago, in preparation of our need for furniture. We probably should have checked the prices at Fish Furniture before we bought the Groupon though...$200 doesn't go very far in that store! We have found a table with 4 chairs and a bench that are within our price range though. (sorry, I'm still getting used to this whole blogging thing and have no pictures).
Next stop was Value City Furniture- which after the prices in Fish Furniture made us feel like we could afford everything! Our top runner was this couch (I think...):

So we're heading back to Value City this week...with the hope that we can get a good deal (no interest for 36 months? Seems too good to be true). A couch, loveseat or chair, bed including a frame- no more mattress on the floor, dining room table, TV stand and possibly a coffee table. Guess it's time to grow up and start making adult decisions!! No, we are NOT buying a car bed!
