My brother finally let us use his truck to pick up the futon & dinette set from my Dad’s friend (Thank you Gary!). It’s really cute, a lot cuter than I expected, really. It’s not dark wood though, as my Dad had claimed, which was the only dissapointment. The style is really different, so I’ll learn to appreciate it. I apologize for the bad quality of the picture, I took it with my BlackBerry at 10pm, inside our garage.
5 Piece Dinette Set
They also brought a futon last night, it wasn’t assembled, so that’s why I don’t have a picture. It has black metal frame that is in perfect condition, and black cotton cushion. The cushion needs to be washed badly, the bottom of it is dirty and it has some traces of dog hair on it. Luckily, you can unzip the cover and throw it in the washing machine. It also really needs pillows and maybe a blanket thrown over it to be really considered “comfortable”.
I did however, I find a picture of it in brand new condition on the internet:
The Futon
I spoke with Josh last night on color schemes, and it seems he really doesn’t care what colors I pick. (Bad idea!) I was thinking of deep purple & dark blue pillows for the futon, giving out living room a dark, but cooler colors. Beggars can’t be choosers, but I’d really just adore warm colors in the kitchen, over the traditional country blue…
I’m not sure yet if we can wallpaper or paint in the apartment.
I found a really cheap TV stand ($35) & 8-shelf book case ($26) at Walmart, that are also black for the living room. I hope that the store near me has these, otherwise I’ll have to resort to ordering online. :0(
Josh seems a lot less stressed since I’ve taken over the planning for our place & the furniture. I know he has enough to worry about moving 2300 miles across the United States as is and starting a job here.
