When we decided to move to Florida, we sold EVERYTHING except some clothes and toys. After a year and a half, we finally bought a nice big couch and a coffee table. Let me tell you, the simpliest of things as a couch made me and my family very very happy. We were sitting on outdoor chairs for the past 6 months and let me tell you, that is not the most relaxing feeling. Now it feels like were at home. Happy me  |

I know the feeling!! we had lived in a crowded house for two years, with no furniture of our own, just what belonged to the other people who lived with us. Well in June we finally moved into our own apartment. All we had in the way of furniture was our beds, my computer desk, and the kids furniture. My sister in law gave me her dining table and someone gave us some chairs to go with it, but we didn't get any other furniture when we moved in. FInally after two months, my mom bought us a couch and gave us her old coffee tables. This is the first time that we have ever had a new piece of furniture that was truly new!! I've slept on that couch quite a number of times since we brought it home !  |

Haha, you gals sound like us. We have bought three new things for the house during our 10-year marriage: a futon/bunk bed set because we had company and my husband didn't think we had enough beds for them all; and a washer and dryer because we were sick of fooling with used mess.
Oh I take that back. Four things. The last thing was a desk for me. When we moved this summer it was too big to put in my office in the new house and we gave it to someone for some work they did for us. It was either to the neighbor for cutting the grass or to the man who was painting and stuff inside the house. I don't know who got it because I told the neighbors they could have it and my husband told the repair man he could have it. We had already moved by this time so that's why I don't know who got it.
We have this nice couch that someone gave us practically new. That's pretty much all we brought with us when we moved. The couch, the fridge, the washer and dryer, and all the beds. We gave away the desk, the dining room table, and left some stuff in the house (two chests of drawers that belong to my mom and a beautiful antique record player/radio) that my SIL is using now.
That's my furniture story! BTW, I still haven't gotten a new desk. I'm working on my husband's old drafting table, which needless to say is way too small and not designed for a computer.
