Back in February, I went to HighPoint North Carolina to buy furniture at FurnitureLandSouth. After 13 years of marriage, I still had pieces of furniture that I bought at Target. I kid you not. What’s even sadder, is that some of these pieces were in my formal living room and dining room.

As we have discussed previously, I am cheap and like to save money. It just didn’t make sense to me to decorate my formal living room because my kids would just destroy it anyway. Plus we don’t entertain much. When I worked, all I did was work so no one ever came over. Then we came home with the kids and it didn’t make sense to buy furniture when I had a 30 month old who had never seen a magic marker. So I put off the furniture.

So in February, I went and bought a new master bedroom suite, formal living room furniture and furniture to make my dining room into a library/study. Since we don’t entertain, I couldn’t see wasting all that space on formal dining room furniture so I am creating a “wall of books” and a place where the kids can do homework and we can store craft stuff. For in the Kitchen, I bought a 60 square table made with this finish that is supposed to be impervious to even nail polish remover. I can extend this table to 90 to seat 12 people if we have company. So it will be come my “formal/casual/everyone-always-hangs-out-in-the-kitchen-anyway table.

So I am still waiting for my furniture. I expect it will get here in July. I’m frustrated it’s not here yet, but I knew going into this it wasn’t an instant gratification kind of thing.

Before all this furniture comes I have to get the carpets cleaned. I have to get rid of all my old furniture but time it right so we aren’t suffering without stuff. I am getting rid of: Rocking Chair, Hall Tree, End Tables, Kitchen Table, Kitchen Chairs, Emma’s dresser, 3 cribs, a changing table etc. I have to move dressers around which requires lots of emptying. (Noah’s getting my stuff, Emma’s getting his.) I need to buy Noah his new twin bed and get him out of the toddler bed.

Anyway… Im in the mood to actually make some progress on this, but I don’t think I should start until I know the furniture is on it’s way from North Carolina.

I want my furniture!!! I’m tired of furniture limbo.
