New Couch and Chair

This fall, Mom and Dad decided that they were ready to get rid of the old couch and chair from the basement. This is the couch and chair that moved with our family to Roblin from Thompson. This furniture was originally a bluey green color that was destroyed when it spent a summer in the garage of the Gobel's house in Thompson because they had a cat living in the garage that used it as a scratching post!! Mom and Dad had it recovered in BEAUTIFUL brown and orange plaid in a fabric that was made of iron, I am sure, because it was in really good shape and wore like iron. Once I convinced Curtis that we needed it for our basement, we decided to have it recovered again. As you can see, the couch is plain light latte brown color and the chair is covered in a really funky brown pattern of circles and squares.

I think that it looks fabulous and so much better than the big stinky one that we had in the basement before. Plus all the family childhood memories came with it!

The couch is coming in!!! Get out of the way!

This is the new chair

They look so different with new upholstery but they look like they fit perfectly. Can't wait to try them out!
