siannanFurniture shopping is tedious.
We went to a couple places yesterday (Ethan Allen and La-Z-Boy). The Ethan Allen lady was so...ugh. As if she sprang from the set of an HGTV program. Picture the love child of Alex Anderson and Martha Stewart, all pert and self-important. She kept foisting this godawful chenille on me for a sofa that was so incredibly goombah, I wish you all could see it but unfortunately they don't have swatches online. Ugh. It was this nasty Prussian blue geometric with coral accents.
The La-Z-Boy woman was much nicer. We priced some club chairs in this fabric we both liked (the color is not nearly so muddy in person), and I'm leaning towards it. We're going to hit up my mostest favorite store in the world today (albeit not the big Manhattan one), and I want to take a trip to Calico Corners next weekend provided J. isn't on backup duty.
I'll live with cheap furnishings for other parts of the house, but I refuse to settle when it comes to the living room seating, and the bedroom. Hell, I got us 8 kitchen chairs, two dressers, four end tables, a coffee table, a gorgeous oval mirror, and three lamps for FREE, but there are some areas where it's like hey, SPEND THE DAMN MONEY. My ass deserves to be cradled in comfort.
