another couch

So when we first moved up to West Jordan, I thought furniture shopping would be much easier and we'd find something we like right away... well it took us an awful long time to find a couch. We finally found a place that would actually make us a couch and they would let you pick the fabric, the cushions, etc. We were really excited about it and the floor model was great, so we thought, why not! Let's make our couch!! Poor decision. After 3 weeks of waiting for it to be made, we lugged it into our house, took off all the plastic.... and sat down. Let's just say it was not soft, when you sat on it you had perfect posture because there was like no room to sit on it since the back cushions were so huge, and the arms of the couch you could feel like the wood through the fabric... it was terrible!! We went back to the place and told them this was NOTHING like the floor model they showed us and they offered to make another one for us. We said fine, and they said it would take another 3 weeks.... lame. They did let us keep the old couch while we waited for the other at least. (Lucky us). Well 4 weeks went by and I called the place and they were like, "Well, it should be done very soon, probably in like 1 1/2 weeks." I was like "no, I don't think so. We're bringing this couch back and we're getting our money back."

We took back the couch, got a check and went shopping yet again. This time we found a couch same day we started looking!! It was actually a couch we saw the first time we were looking and really loved, but it was a sofa sleeper and it was much more expensive. When we saw it this second time, it wasn't a sofa sleeper but it was the exact same couch other than that! So we bought it!! I absolutely love it!! We got it from Ashley Furniture. Here's a picture of the stock photo. It looks much bluer in this picture than in real life. It's not nearly as blue in person. I'll take pictures of the couch and the floors because everything is finally put back to normal. Now we can start putting things on the wall!!!

I hate furniture shopping!! It's so frustrating. Luckily you guys were able to get your money back and find something you liked. Can't wait to see pics of the whole finished place!!
