Now that I've solved my laundry problems, my next goal is to acquire some interesting pieces of furniture to replace some I've got here that's getting pretty broken down. I tend to keep things until they really can't be used by anyone ever again, simply because I hate to spend the money.
First to be replaced will be my sofa. The cushions are getting really flat and the upholstery is tearing. It's time for something else, even if it's not new. See, this sofa is leather and was bought new but it's only about 4 years old. That means it really didn't last like it should have. So, I'll probably be looking for a fabric sofa for a really low price. I'll get a sofa cover to put on it that can be laundered. I might even get two of them so I can change the look of the room without purchasing all new furnishings.
Next to be replaced will be a gigantic old recliner. I hate those things. They aren't generally that comfortable and they take up an astounding amount of floor space. Either they have to be placed far enough away from the wall to avoid hitting it, or they are "wall huggers", which means the whole chair slides out into the middle of the room when it's reclined. Sorry, recliner fans. They are just not my cup of tea. I much prefer a nice small rocker with a small ottoman in front of it. At least I can use an ottoman for additional seating!
Anyway, I'll be scouting around for an interesting small sofa. One with a fluid shape, like a camel-back. I'll let you know when I come up with something.
