I just couldn't spend a ton of money on a set of couches when I was a newlywed. My parents had been married for 30+ years and never owned a new couch. By now I had been convinced of the beauty of leather but I just couldn't swallow the price.
Then there was Craigslist. The greatest garage sale EVER. Early one Saturday morning I started a search. Nailhead. Its easier than leather and much easier than couch. And there they were... these beautiful brown leather couches with nailhead trim. I raced to the phone and off we went to Placerville.
Couches in hand we were ECSTATIC! They were a steal of a deal and in great shape. We had our dream. These couches served us well. They fit in perfectly without decor and they were long enough to sleep on.
Sariah named him Alfred. She came to stay and slept on the couch and was in heaven. It was more comfortable than her bed. She was in love. She wanted to take him home.
Yesterday Alfed and his mate were passed onto a new family. We didn't really want to part with them but we thought we'd see what we could get for them. One less thing to move. Up on Craigslist they went and after an email and a few phone calls they were gone for twice what we had paid for them. Alfred has a new home and were sitting on floor.
I hope he likes his new family!

Sorry about your couch...just remember someday another couch will come along and before you know it, you will find yourself in love once again :)
Hey Eve just wanted to check in and see how you are holding up? Have you had many showings yet? Hang in there :) Luv Ya!
I'm doing okay. We've only had a handful of showings so that part hasn't been too bad but we've gotten to the point where we just want it to sell so we can make firm plans and move on with our lives.
