So, this week when we had an ad at work for a large garage/remodeling sale I decided to go before work on Friday to check out the two sofas that they had. Also, after I found out whose yard sale it was and how particular she is about her house I knew I had to go. She was Lainey's 7th grade English teacher.
Here is what I found.
It is Norwalk Furniture - J Raymond brand. No telling how much she paid for it. I'm not too sure about the extra two plaid pillows but they are just pillow forms with shams on them. So I can be on the look out for something to change them up. I got it for $200 and it looks like it has hardly been sat on. Tulip Tree carries this line of furniture and I've looked at it before. What I looked at would have been $800+.
Lainey is sad that the "sofa of her youth" may be sold at a yard sale. She would rather me sell the "counseling sofa" and keep the old sofa for the basement. I'm dreading the thought of a yard sale right now so they may both be in the basement for a while.
I was afraid I would have to repaint the living room. I think the color looks ok. I was afraid the "peachy-ness" of the current paint would be more pronounced with the new sofa but it seems ok. The big problem is that the dye in the blue sofa has rubbed off on the walls and the new sofa does not cover it up. I am going to try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and see if that does the trick. If not, looks like I'll have a big painting project soon.
