...When we were building our house, I had the furniture on layaway for months before the house was finished. When it was finally finished and we were ready to move in, the furniture store delivered it while I was at work one day. 2 couches and 2 recliners for the living room area plus dining tables, chairs...etc, etc...
Anyway, my husband called me at work and said, "why did you buy all this stinkin' furniture? we don't have room for all of it." I said, "yes we do, I measured. I'll show you when I get home." Well, at my previous job I worked crazy hours and didn't have a chance to show him my "vision" for the furniture for a few days...all the while he complained and complained and complained about how much I'd gotten.
Meanwhile, I had to go to Boaz one day for work reasons and stopped in at Trees N Trends on my way home,...because you just can't go to Boaz (or Huntsville) without going to that store. You just can't. That's when I saw it. The ottoman. The same one I'd seen months and months ago and fallen in love with but didn't buy it because it was way to much. They only had one. It was marked 75% off. Just for me........
My husband nearly died when I came home that day with that huge ottoman crammed into my VW......"don't we already have enough furniture??? Where is THAT gonna go???" Oh ye of little faith!
Well, we did get the furniture arranged, true to my "vision", and everything did fit perfectly, but never did that beloved ottoman...the one who waited so patiently for all those months to be put on clearance, to be jammed in the back of my VW, and have our feet propped up on it countless times,....never has that beloved ottoman gave me greater pleasure than it does lately...........
.......I think their daddy is even pretty sold on it's new use!
